Any tips on how to start running. I feel like that sounds like a ridiculous question. But as a very overweight person. Who probably can run a minute. What’s the best way to build endurance

Incline walk a lot (30min a day minimum) to start or swim Both very low load bearing on your joints especially while youre still very heavy

Start out with low impact activities such as walking on the treadmill, light swimming, or using the stationary bike to reduce joint strain. Taper off the amount you eat in a day by a small amount and stick to that diet for multiple weeks, weighing yourself every morning fasted, or take progress photos fasted once a week. If you do not notice any changes, taper off more food or increase activity, do not change both. Once you get to a healthy weight for you, begin to add in running slowly.

personally for me as someone who sucks at running i prefer just doing continuous running (just slow down and pick back up when you feel ready) instead of walk/runs
