  • Yes- I can remember the first time on the treadmill and felt very similar. I'd suggest starting with a lower speed and just building up minutes over some time, before speeding up. The heart racing probably tells you that you exerted yourself too hard, too fast... For me, I stayed at 2.5 mph for a few sessions until I could…

  • Probably covered sufficiently, but starting with the treadmill and transitioning to the outdoors could be the best way to go.

  • I'm so glad that you asked this question! You and I are the same size-height, etc.. and have the same weight goals. I started at about 194ish pounds and yesterday I weighed-in at 165.

  • Hello- I'm a newbie here... I also live in Anaheim, near State College/Lincoln. I've joined gyms on and off over the years, but decided to do the home gym thing this time...so far, so good. In addition to finding some balance in healthy eating and exercise, I'm also trying to wrangle the nicotine monster...working out…
