Oh I just read on runners world that they dont use that way anymore because its inaccurate.

Welcome! First start walking daily! Get yourself a pedometer. Any kind will work, but the one that have connection with the smartphone is more convenient. Try to jog with the C25K program. Jog every other day (3 days per week). Walk the rest of the days. It is OK to repeat days or weeks, we all did it. (I am repeating whole program but faster). This forum is great for support, read it,ask questions. I am sure you can do it!

I ran early in the morning when I started running. There was a few people out so I didn't feel self conscience. Now I don't care who sees me because I'm in action, I'm taking care of myself and I feel great!

You should be like a cat! Ignore everybody, do what you want. People in the gym do not care, why you shoud care about what everybody think. Do what is important to you!

No but I have a vitamix

So. Today. I'm in Week 5, Day 1. Super Cold out (40 degrees), high altitude. Which I am used to. 2nd running session and my right side was killing me. It's from lack of oxygen. I was so stiff running today because of the cold. Major stitch in the Side. Started walking and breathing deep. Not through your mouth. Through your diaphragm. Hold your tummy and breathe through your chest with your mouth closed. Do this a few times a day too and this will help. I set a timer for 3 x a day and breathe deep for a few minutes. At first you will get dizzy but it will subside. Do you you realize how much we don't breathe DEEP????? It will increase your metabolism too. Breathe in , out. Breathe in 3 times, let it out the same way. 3 times in, blow out. keep doing it. Also breathe in, hold, hold, hold, let out. Look up Oxycise. It works. We never use our lungs to capacity. Are you sitting here ? Are you breathing?, not deep enough EH??? Now breathe deep. It oxygenates the blood. Which increased circulation, which increases metabolism. Try it.
