Zolciak shared some of her wellness secrets in this Instagram post. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is run. “I run 3-4 miles 5x a week,” Zolciak writes in the caption. “I have ALWAYS loved to run.” Better Health states that running has a lot of benefits. “The difference between running and jogging is intensity. Running is faster, uses more kilojoules and demands more effort from the heart, lungs and muscles than jogging. Running requires a higher level of overall fitness than jogging. Both running and jogging are forms of aerobic exercise. Aerobic means 'with oxygen' – the term 'aerobic exercise' means any physical activity that produces energy by combining oxygen with blood glucose or body fat.”
