    It's better to increase stamina gradually. Start with a very slow running; rather slow jogging.
    1. Jog for 1 minute and then brisk walk for 3 minutes and repeat this for 30 minutes. Do this for a week.
    2. Next week, try jogging for 2 minutes and brisk walk for 5 minutes and repeat till 30 minutes. Do it for a week.
    3. Then it should be 3 minute jog n 5 minutes brisk walk for 30 minutes for a week.
    4. Ten 5 minutes jog, 5 minutes brisk walk for 30 minutes for a week.
    Like wise go on increasing till you reach 15 minutes jog and 15 minutes brisk walk.
    Then start gradually increasing the speed.

    Hello Satish,

    Helpful post. Currently started on my weight loss journey - I am heading out for 'brisk' walks in the neighbourhood. Walking about 4 kms in an hour. I believe this is not a good speed, I hope to jog/run but find it very difficult and am out of breath after a short sprint. What is your advice?
    Please help if u can.
