Embarrassed while jogging?!


Question: Embarrassed while jogging!?
Hi!. I've been jogging to lose a bit of weight, and slowly my endurance (and confidence!) has been improving!. but today, it was very windy, so i just went for a jog around the block!. My Mom wanted me to call into the corner store to get some bread, and the ladies in the store looked at me like i was an Alien! Granted, nobody has really seen me jogging in public (i do it mostly at the gym)!. When i exercise, my face gets red and all, and i must look as though i'm going to have a heart attack lol!. But I'm fine, theres nothing wrong with me!. I just felt really embaressed and it looked like they were all supressing a laugh!.!.!.I just feel so embaressed now, should I keep up my jogging!? I like it but i hate the gossip small communitys bring, and i can only imagine what they must be talkig about!. I kno how rumors can spread in small communities, and I'm just a little concerned!. Should I be worried!?
ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Don't worry about what other people think!!! Get a shirt that says Jogger in Progress- Get out of my way---or something like that!!!! I think that they will eat their words after they see you looking better and better-- screw what they say or think! They may be jealous, because they don't have the guts or stamina to get out and do something--- JOG AWAY!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry!. I too have a RED face when I run/do anything!. What happens is:

1!. You just think they are laughing because you feel self-conscious; or

2!. They are laughing a bit, but they get used to seeing you red and think nothing of it; and

3!. Even if they are all saying that they saw you having multiple heart attacks at the store today, when they see you alive and well tomorrow everyone will forget about it :)

Keep up the running!Www@Answer-Health@Com

the same thing happens to me when i exercise my face turns red and feels like it has its own heart beat! but don't stop your doing something good for yourself and let people talk it doesn't matter what they say, for all you know they can be saying how good it is that your exercising! and those ladies probably looked at you like you were an alien because you probably smelt like sweat :)!. you have absolutely no reason to be worried!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I was younger jogging wasn't exactly the cool thing to do!. If my neighbors saw me running they would be breaking their necks to see what I was up to/had done LOL!.

I was like you!.!.!.I had always exercised during/for sports!.!.but never in my neighborhood!.!.!.I would only do it at night and I would run real quite not to get any attention!.

Looking back I was an idiot as most prolly didnt care!.!.!.I was just young and fairly shy and easilly embarrased like you I'd say!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Keep on jogging!. It is getting you in shape and who cares what anyone says if you are getting more healthy!. If it still really bothers you stay on the treadmill route, then only a few will see your red face!. Try breathing more consistently through your nose, that can help a lot of times!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its normal for yor face to turn red! i play tennis and my face gets so dang red!!
i would say keep jogging! work hard at it!. dont worry what other people think of you!. No rumors will be spread about you!. You are working out, keeping or trying to get into shape!.
keep up the good work! you are doing great!Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't worry about what other people think cause those will be the same girls who will want to go out with you when you have slimed down!. and if its too embarrassing do it early in the morning, but i wouldn't put my weight goal on hold just because some girls act like they never saw someone exercising!. Good luck on your weight loss!^_^Www@Answer-Health@Com
