Running as a form of exercise is easy to do because it does not require any special equipment. You will need good shoes, but you may already have a pair that will work. Besides that, the only other thing you will need is a safe place to run. Often people run in their neighborhood or in a park. Others use a treadmill or run at a track, but any of these options, as long as they are safe, can provide a place to get an excellent workout.
