It could help you become the runner you obviously want to be with your ostrich legs.

I can sympathize with the impatience... but the running, well, as my dad used to tell me "If you want it, then put your ass in gear and get it!". He was my Karate coach for 6 years... in those 6 years I was in the best shape of my life. <BR/><BR/>I am currently getting into the run mode again... and to get my stamina up I have this simple routine:<BR/><BR/>3 min warm up (easy walk)<BR/>30 second sprint (fast as you can)<BR/>90 second recover (brisk walk)<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>90 second recover<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>90 secont recover<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>90 second recover<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>2 minute easy walk<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>90 second recover<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>90 secont recover<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>90 second recover<BR/><BR/>30 second sprint<BR/>5 minute cool down (easy walking)<BR/><BR/>The total run is a little over a mile, depending on how fast you sprint and walk. IT will burn calories like you wouldn't believe, and it will introduce your body to running.Tigerlillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15652766012223389403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-394387932096121706.post-26179041095496219642007-08-17T18:10:00.000+01:002007-08-17T18:10:00.000+01:002007-08-17T18:10:00.000+01:00Congrats on joining a gym, it really will transform your life. Explain all of this about running to your instructor and they will advise you on how to build up the strength to run. If I were advising (which I am not qualified to do) I would say start off by walking and then after a month or so start incorporating some HIIT into your schedule and you'll be running before you know it.<BR/><BR/>Learn patience though, coz you're gonna need it for long term weight loss!Groovybabehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04012401377881625378noreply@blogger.com
