Calling all Swifties! Did seeing Taylor Swift singing and dancing around a stage for three hours inspire you to add some cardio to your own routine? We suggest lacing up your sneakers and going for a run.<\/p>\n

Running can be an amaze way to get some exercise, but it can def be intimidating if you're new to it. We've compiled some tips for newbie runners that are sure to have you feeling more energized and prepared for your next jog (or your next sing-along with Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour<\/em><\/a>—that's a whole workout in itself!).<\/p>\n

Have a positive mindset<\/span><\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes running is the absolute last thing you want to do. You might dread a run because the weather isn't great, or because you're worried you won't be able to make it very far before needing to stop. Whatever the case is, you're not alone.<\/p>\n

The best thing to do is bring an optimistic outlook to your runs. If you go into a run thinking about how horrible it might be, chances are it will be. Instead, why not be more positive? Go into a run reminding yourself that you're strong and capable, and you'll likely feel empowered throughout your workout.<\/p>\n

Running also comes with plenty of benefits<\/a> that you can remind yourself of to make it a more exciting experience. It can give you some time to get fresh air, explore a new trail and listen to r<\/em>eputation<\/em> on repeat (at least until Taylor's Version is finally announced!). Because of all the endorphins you'll release, you're also likely to end your workout feeling more relaxed and accomplished than before. Running might even become your new go-to option for relieving stress and clearing your mind.<\/p>\n

Set realistic goals<\/span><\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n
