For the fear of robbers, there were no fundamental reasons. The robbers ought to know that a runner would not bring some valuable things, no matter a male or a female. Now that there were many filled wallets and jewelry person, so why you grab a water of victims. In addition, the robbers could find that there were so many people sitting on a chair or just strolling, why to pick up a floating target. And she also could run in front of you. However, it would not be sensible to run in a devious place after dark.
This one could also change. A woman who ran along the river park for a few years in New York had never been troubled by anybody. Some people were born to do evil things. Do not try to divide them into groups; you just need to stay away from them. There are many ways that can make them far away from you. Once I saw a woman in Central Park holding a four inches long needle, there was no cap on it. She looked horrible, as if she could stab people at any time. The men who ran in the same track with her all kept far away. I knew I was such a person. There was also a woman running with a big stick in her hands. Some people even ran with a whistle or dog stuff. Running with another person, whether a man or a woman, this would be an effective method of deterrence. It could also play if you ran with a big dog.
Another danger that women worried about was the body damage. As I pointed out in chapter three. Not long ago, a doctor who wrote in the "Playboy" magazine that jogging was the most dangerous form of sport. He said that for women, it could make the uterus dislocate and the ligament of breast apart. This made the breast hang down like the deflated gas balloon. I have talked these dangers with many doctors; they all have expressed their bewilderment. It was impossible to find a justified basis on the medical literature. On the contrary, women said that running made their breasts stronger than before. It was because that the movement of the two arms made the chest muscles stronger. I talked with some women, but no one said that there was a problem with their uteruses.
Some women were in dread of fear that their muscles would appear the rigidity phenomenon, which would looke like a piece of hard bump. In fact, there was no difference between women athletes and men athletes; the muscles would never show the phenomenon of rigidity. You can look at a woman's legs carefully when you see a woman running on a road. Instead of the raised muscles; you can see the long muscles that were soft and beautiful. In addition, her leg muscles will keep the situation all the time, no matter how hard her exercise plan is, how long a time she takes and how quick her speed is.
In order to improve the running result, some women even likes to try the weightlifting. However, Jack Weir Mo who worked in the National Athletic Health Institute pointed out that those strong muscles did not mean big chunks. He said that the result gave the contrast illusion of the comic books, a emaciated child on the beach could be the same to a villain who ever kicked sand in their faces, even stronger than a villain. Due to the work of famous female athletes, Weir Mo said that some women's force increased by 44 percent without the increase of muscles.
