RUNNING FOR BEGINNNERS

When I first started my fitness journey I could barely WALK 3 minutes without being tired or dripping with sweat and perspiration. So initially I started walking, and I'd walk for 2 hours everyday. After about 3 months of that, I decided to try running/jogging. I didn't have the running guide (pictured below) that I had then, but its the same gist. I would walk, then run, then walk, then run and set little goals for myself. Although I didn't use time as my interval, I used distance. Fast forward a year and a half later, I can now run 25 minutes without stopping although I still do interval running. When I run now I run about 5.2 miles on the days that I run.

For those unsure about running, I hope the guideline below will be helpful. Running has great benefits and for me, it was one of the few exercise that really got the scale moving for me, and is responsible for the almost non-existent loose skin that I have. Running builds endurance, reduces stomach fat, and is an extreme fat burner. Enjoy!

Great way to start running.
