Yes, overweight people should run!
YES!
There are a few things that need to get worked out first.
- You need to start a walking program first for about a week - Walking everyday or every-other-day for a half hour to an hour.
- If you are overweight by more than 30 pounds walk every day until you can get your weight down and it's comfortable to walk. The reason is this weight can be hard on your joints.
- You need to get a thorough health assessment done by your doctor to cancel out any problems you may have when you start exercising. Example: Joint, muscles, respiratory and heart issues.
- Invest in a great running shoe at a good running store.
- Wear clothes that feel comfortable for walking and running. The best clothes are materials that draw the sweat away from your body. Good wicking materials are Lycra and polyester which are woven in such away to make your experience comfortable.
- A pedometer, watch, ipod or gps are all great for tracking your runs and recording distance, time and pace.
