Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace. The main intention is to increase fitness without stress, though people may jog short distances if they are in a hurry, but don't wish to exert themselves.

History

---

Jogging was previously called "roadwork", when athletes in training such as boxers, customarily ran several miles each day as part of their conditioning.

In the 1960s or 1970s the word "roadwork" was mostly supplanted by the word "jogging" and this form of running became quite popular among many people at that time in the United States, especially after it was popularized by Jim Fixx in his 1977 best-selling book The Complete Book of Running.
