What is 'extreme jogging'. Jogging is slow --- maybe 5 miles an hour or so. Running is fast. I used to run, but at 72, I jog 3 miles a day. I've never had an injury of any kind related to working out and I job on pavement. But I have been weightlifting, doing floor exercises, and running (now jogging) since my early 30's for 5 times a week. Most injuries are caused by people who have been out of shape for decades and 'got religion' and then, overdid it. You have to work all parts of your body at same time.
Plus, majority of people in this country are overweight which strains everything on your body. Anyway, I've never understood people complaining about how they feel, look, or their general health and then say they have no motivation to work out and do something for themselves. American Diabetes Society has stated that we have approximately 900,000 new cases, every year, of Type II diabetes. And, 90% were fully preventable. You have close to a million people a year, new people, giving themselves an incurable disease due to their sloth.
As another poster said, I don't get it.
