As stated above, start slow. At a conversational pace. You should be able to talk without getting too winded. After you get better you will be able to go faster. Also, as stated above do not put the treadmill on any incline in the beginning. Although it is good to be able to run hills that will come in time and is best…

I'm currently on day 59. It's going well!! I completed the original P90x earlier in the year (MAY), and I personally like this one a little more. The time is much more reasonable. I run too and didn't want to give that up doing p90x again and that's why I purchased this one. So far I have lost 6% body fat, 11lbs, and…

I noticed not many people have given up much of anything.... I gave up things that may hurt me long term health wise. I had Pancreatitis due to a reaction to NSAIDS nearly forcing me into good eating. My life style change is forever and I would like to do everything I can to be healthy. I don't eat fast food ever. I eat…

I run around 16-20 miles per week and I feel the same way when I run on the treadmill. Like I can't set the speed just right no matter what I do, but running outdoors, whether it be around the neighborhood or on the track, I do not have this problem. The treadmill does save you from some of the impack you get when running…

I was a non-runner. Actually last year this time I couldn't run one full lap at the track! That is only .25 of a mile! Now I can run over 5 miles without stopping. I can run 22 laps without stopping! But I normally run a 5k (3.10 miles) about 4 times a week to work on my speed. I can finish that in 31 minutes now. I get…

You CAN make a change! You CAN feel good about yourself. Is it easy? NO! Is it fun? Not in the beginning. But it will be fun! It will make you happy. Happier then any food can make you. I struggle sometimes with cravings, but find other less fattening, sugary, and low calorie snacks/foods that can replace your favorites…

No workout is USELESS! Insanity isn't for everyone. Not every workout program is for everyone. I personally have been doing p90x and I am a runner. Can I just say that p90x has helped my running! I can run longer and faster. Also, the whole joint B.S. is driving me crazy. There is so much crap out there about most workouts…

Listen to your body. You do not want to hurt yourself. I do P90x and I run 3 miles 4 days a week so I understand completely. I don't skip my workouts. I push through and sometimes at a lower intensity so I can manage. BUT one time we had no time in the day between work, dinner, soccer practices (have 3 kids 10, 7, 6), and…

I researched this awhile back and found the most accurate way to calculate your weight when only using a scale is to weigh in every day (morning is best before you intake any foods or fluid, after emptying bladder) and then once a week do the math and come up with the average weight (add all days together and then divide…

But do you know how many calories you are burning when you exercise? Are you using a heart rate monitor? If you are exercising you will need to know how many calories you are eating so you can know how many calories you need to burn and what your calorie deficient is. Let me tell you, if you plan to exercise I suggest you…

Honestly research this a little more. When you start working out your muscles need to adjust. And they may swell and add lbs. Also, taking your weight everyday is actually the most accurate way to calculate your weight. Yes it can flucuate from day to day by a few lbs, but if you record your weight everyday and then figure…
