You’re so wrong….
You need to read books like Borne To Run and the likes.

Amazing

The best thing I ever done to myself! Thank you Rivky for not stoping to believe in me. I can’t believe I did it!!!

Women were running in long sleevs and tzinuis… Very nice outdoor activity

Agree with 10

As a professional with many years of studying and experience in the field of exercise, I agree with 10. Biking and walking are much safer, especially in the long run. I have seen too many young men and women, even in their 20s and 30s, already develop knee and joint problems as a result of running.

For women who feel running in a public park, wearing a tichel and short sleeves is compromising chabad standards of tznius, there is a kosher alternative. A wonderful young woman ms Sarede Switzer has been running various fitness program for the community for several years now.

Run if you enjoy it
June 24, 2016 4:33 pm

Running has cons. Running pounds harshly on feet and knees, that is why elliptical is recommended above regular bike or treadmill for anyone concerned about joint health. Running taxes the heart, especially when pushed beyond endurance for marathons. Most athletes suffer degraded joint and heart health while enjoying better muscle and bone structure.

Stop proclaiming running (or anything) as healthy, and run if you enjoy it.

It would be great if such a group and training would exist for men. They could use a push too.

Amazing!!

So proud of you, hugs and kisses from l.a.!!!!

go women go!
June 24, 2016 3:12 pm

How nice to see so many mommies in sheitels, even while exercising in the heat!

Heartwarming to see how mothers that work so hard find the time and support to do something they like.
Good luck Rivky!
