Running and muscles
The run can pump up absolutely all the muscles of the body. During the run, only the arms are under-loaded, while the other muscles such as the abdominal and back abs, legs, shoulders are perfectly trained. The muscles are especially well pumped during sprint and interval running exercises.
Run for slimming
