Metalman Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi all... New to this as I just found it about 20 minutes ago...so about me, 42, male, overweight diabetic, haven't done any jogging since high school... Trying to stay away from insulin... Doc is wanting me to walk at least 150 minutes a week... Have been walking for at least 30 minutes 4 to 5 times a week for about the last month now... Just started jogging some... It's my short term goal to just be able to jog a mile fully for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob129 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think it's really good idea you have to set up a definitive short term goal like you have. I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Good Luck, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalman Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks... I'm weighing in at 233.2 right now,but my doc says if I can get below 200 I could possibly come off all medications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Welcome Metalman! I'm new to this myself, and 44. Lifelong smoker til last October, and trying to change my entire lifestyle. Biggest tip I can give you is, don't give up, no matter what. Set goals, and if a workout is too hard, don't move on until you do it. Usually, you need to slow down. Good for you for going for it!!!
