Exercise
Walk/Run 3 Miles

Today I'm going to start adding running into my exercise routine.  I will build up to it with a walk/run combination.  I won't carry the hand weights for this, at first, at least.  Start out walking; warm up for about 5 minutes at a good pace, then run for 2-3 minutes.  Don't kill yourself, but it is exercise, so do push yourself a little.  Then walk another 4-5 minutes, run 2-3 minutes, and so on.

If you have weak or delicate knees, there is nothing wrong with just walking.  But, try adding "power walking" for short 2-3 minutes bursts during your regular walk.  Or, try running in one minute bursts and build from there.  If you feel pain in your knees, stop running.

For me personally, nothing melts the fat away like running.  

What exercise works best for you?
