I have never been an physically active person after my school days. Most of my days were spent in the lab. The New Balance 10K running plan helped me with a beginners approach to geared up for running and I moved on to running 10KM and later 21 KM Runs.
I haven’t started yet. But to start firstly start by walking for a day for 30 minutes. Then gradually increase the speed and and the time. Continue at a change for atleast 2 days. Do not over every yourself.
I used a playlist design to go from walking to running. The music was motivating and the day was beautiful. The ocean was in front of me and other people nearby were jogging. I started running
Well , i started by downloading a workout app and motivated my self that I wanna be a better version of me , and yah, I started !!
I started running because I had a roommate who said it helped with anxiety. So I gave it a shot and it really helped me. I started with fairly short distances 1-2 miles, but soon wanted to run for a lot longer, increasing to 3-5 miles.
I participated in a group program called couch to 5k. At first we would alternate between running and walking, with the first week‘s running intervals only lasting a minute at a time. Over the course of ten weeks, the walking decreased while the running intervals grew longer, so by the end of the program I could run 3 miles. Getting into running with a group made it a lot easier and much more fun than starting on my own would have been.
I knew that I would never feel like it in the beginning. I knew that it was going to be difficult but it would get easier if I kept going. And I knew it was SO worth it. I just sat and thought about how good I would feel for the rest of my day afterwards.
Personally, I don’t like running because it’s boring. Besides, I have an ankle injury I don’t want to make worse. I do yoga and play Just dance from my Nintendo Switch which is a great way to work out in a fun way.
Walking first and then running a minute walking 2 minutes. The couch 2 5k app can help with this. It feels good to work out and release stress. Don’t expect to change in a day just do one day at a time
I was seeing how long i could jump and would sprint like 50 m each time. Then id throw a tennis ball the air and sprint down to catch it. I feel like that makes ut funner than running around town.
