Phyzixx asked:


I just want to lose a few pounds, and I’m gonna start running, on a treadmill, then after a few weeks, I’ll start on trails and other places and time my self. Is this any good?
I’m a Freshie, and I just want to more running sports, like cross country or track and field.

   just start off slow especially if u r not used to working out. Increase your runnin each week.I started runing 1 lap and walking 1 with a total of 4 ran and 4 walked. then i actually ran 6 laps straight. so just bump it up every week or as u progress

   Yes. That makes sense to me. Do what you enjoy the most so that exercise is not a boring chore.

   I would encourage you to mix things up a bit and use variety to keep exercise interesting. When the weather is nice take a long walk outside.

   As you get fit you may want to add tennis, bike riding, swimming, jumping rope, hiking, kayaking and anything else to keep you moving. Don’t let your workout be boring. Good luck!
