Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a
slow or leisurely pace. The main intention is
to increase physical fitness with less stress
on the body than from faster running but
more than walking, or to maintain a steady
speed for longer periods of time. The
word jog originated in England in the mid16th century. The etymology of the word is
unknown, but it may be related to shog or
have been an invention.
