running. I'm a very active person but never was a runner. For some reason after turning 30 you get sudden urges to run? Anyway I've been running just 1-2 miles at dusk and it's done wonders for how I feel. Stress levels have gone way down, skin cleared up dramatically, sleep has become way better, and I don't feel tired all day. And it only takes ~15 minutes a day, right out of the front door and around a few blocks.
This and drinking a ton of water
- I *just*can't*run for more than a hundred yards, it's agony on all my organs. Other than that I'm pretty fit, walk for hours, etc.mikotondria3
- Running is great, but 15 mins! The first 20-30 mins is the hardest part by far! Your doing the hard part and missing the easy bit!Hombre_Lobo
- Easy bit. But fitting it around work etc is tough. Perhaps try intervals, they are better for your heart, cv and nervous systemHombre_Lobo
- Or, don't change anything as you're happy! running is great! :)Hombre_Lobo
- Push through the pain with running. After a week or two it won't hurt as much. Eventually it'll feel greathereswhatidid
- miko, if you can't run over 100 yards without dying, then you can't call yourself "pretty fit".Presta
