TIPS FOR BEGINEERSFor beginners, hurdles are not an easy task. But is very simple to learn it and practice it. I’ll give you three basic tips to be followed to master the art of running in a hurdle race.
- Learn to be persistent: Life in general as many obstacles. You might come across several difficult circumstances and problems. Ironically training for the hurdle race contains several other obstacles apart from the hurdles as an obstacle. Know your ambition well. Define your goal and stick with it no matter what kinds of obstacles you might come across. Develop resistance and patience to face such obstacles.

His name is Wasim Akram and he dominated the world of bowling in cricket for over a decade.
- Breathe Consistently:Breathing is the source of our lives. Breathing properly enhances our fitness to unimaginable levels. People follow yoga to develop great stamina and power. Athletics involves good fitness and it is crucial to have a decent stamina. As a beginner focus a lot on breathing exercises and follow them as you train. You can breathe slowly as well as rapidly but breathing at a consistent pace which keeps you comfortable and allows you to focus on your training is crucial to master any athletic event let alone hurdles.
