Hi there! I'm 51 and NEVER been athletic AT ALL. Used to smoke (quit this time for 7 yrs) and knees are not happy w/current weight.. I was getting foot cramps on the treadmill but usually am OK on elliptical but I did buy what I think are decent running shoes (Mizuno) and a sports bra today. I plan to start tomorrow. Sounds like it is possible but I am scared of injuring myself as I am my sole supporter. I am looking to shed some pounds in addition to my gym work outs 3X/wk. Any feedback, suggestions? Be kind, I am sensitive :flowerforyou:
id like to try it to. i walk a atleast a mile on the treadmill every day. i never skip a day. my speed is at about a steady 2.7mph right now. i have never ran or even jogged before so i am kinda scared too. i have about 78lbs to go so that is stil alot. i'll take any advice too! :huh:0 -
