I’ve been lifting weights consistently for a couple years and consider myself to be in good shape. It’s time to come off the winter bulk and I figured that starting up jogging would be an easy way to improve my conditioning and start dropping some weight, so I went out for my first jog yesterday after work.

The experience was humbling, it was shocking. In my youth I was an avid runner but have been out of it for a long time, I could not believe how difficult it was running while carrying this extra weight! For anyone else going through the same thing, hang in there

    Welcome brother.

    We got a dog last year that likes walks (she was a street dog rescue). 3-4 times a day we would go for 40 minute walk, some slight incline in areas. I was wrecked and exhausted the first month or so.
