Welcome to BBC Xtra English.

Today, Vicki and Louay discuss jogging, and ask 'how safe is it'?

On the 26th of July 2009 the French President, Nicolas Sarkozy collapsed whilst jogging near his home in the country.

He had been running vigorously, and was on a strict diet and exercise regime.

His collapse has started a debate in Britain about the safety of jogging to keep fit.

BBC Radio spoke with some office workers in London about why they went jogging.

None of them were worried about the safety of it.

One man said jogging was a good way of maintaining your weight.

Experts believe you have to overdo it to collapse as a result of going for a run.

Many suspect the French President pushed himself too far.

British comedian Arthur Smith told the BBC that the accident 'served him right'.

He claimed Sarkozys' keep fit regime was a publicity stunt to make him look good in the media.

What benefits do you feel after going for a jog?

Are you going to be more cautious now about taking vigorous exercise?
