Larger guy starting his journey

[g.bow 0]

Hi All

I am just starting out on this journey and was looking for some help. I am a fairly rotund guy (FAT), but really want to lose weight and gain endurance. I have a 11yo son who I really want to be able to go out and jog with.

 I am only on week 1 but finding that my legs are really starting to cramp on about run 5 of 8, will this start to go the more I run or is there something I can do to help with the cramp? Any advice is greatfully appreciated.

Thanks

Hey!  I am afraid I don't have much to offer regarding the cramping - other than making sure that you are well hydrated and perhaps, eat a few bananas.  But I really wanted to congratulate you on getting started. You'll be doing a 5K with your boy in no time!

I add ginger to my 8 oz water along with lemons to help with legs cramp. Hope this helps.

I just eat bananas and drink water. Congrats on starting your journey to a healthier lifestyle
