I am overweight and have very horrible stamina and endurance but have always wanted to run...what is the best way to get started? Be as specific as possible please.
How do I start running?
start walking and a light jog first for about 20 minutes. Jog then walk until you catch your breath and do it again and again until 20 minutes is up. Do that until you can start running a little longer. I was like that too when I first started off and now I can run 4-5 miles without stopping I just completed my first duathalon and its the greatest feeling. Good luck hun!
Reply:Start running,and see how far you can get before your out of breath.Then take a short one minute stop,and start up again.Then run for 2-3 minutes,then stop for 2-3 minutes.It helps with speed,and endurance.Then focus on how much running you can do without stopping.
Reply:i would go to a rural area and just run around lakes, forests, ponds, meadows etc etc.. run for 10 minutes first, then 20, then 30 etc etc. but make sure you can run with your doc. people have had hard attacks. hope this helps.
p.s.......try to take friends with you when you're running so you can encourage each other.good luck
Reply:I had the EXACT same problem. I was 55 lbs overweight and couldn't even run a mile (or even a half mile). I asked a friend the same question. He said, "if you are getting too winded, then you are running too fast." He told me to just slow down until I could sustain the pace without getting out of breath, even if I wasn't running much faster than I could walk. He was completely right. I started out by walking, but then just jogged slowly until I found a pace that I could sustain without getting out of breath. Within 4 months I was running 6-7 miles a day. Trust me, you can do it. Take it slow and set reasonable goals. Slow and steady is what you want. After you get your endurance up, you will be able to pick up your speed. Good luck!!!!
Reply:I joined 24 hour fitness where I can walk their indoor track or swim in their pool late at night. Also, I began with very short walks and routines until my body gradually began to get used to it.
Reply:i say you should start by walking or jogging lightly. set a goal for yourself for that workout. like....say you start out by walking a mile with the same pace. stick to it and don't give up. do that until it becomes a little easier and then you can increase your speed a little bit. and when that becomes a little easier you can increase your mileage.and so on and so forth. but stick to your goal!!!! don't give up!!! it's mostly mental actually!! if you tell your self your going to jog for a mile then don't stop and jog the whole mile. Most people are physically able to do it but it's all mental after that. it's gonna hurt. your gonna sweat. but when you know you did good and tried your hardest...you're gonna feel proud of yourself. trust me! you'll lose weight if your dedicated enought and if you really want to! and remember....DRINK WATER!! very important! eat right. veggies...fruits...NO SODA. it's bad for you =] GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Reply:don't try to do too much to start-out with. start slow, like with a fast walk and work your way up.
Reply:I would start walking first then build up to where you can run...
Interesting, someone gives me a thumbs down and most ppl here are saying start out walking then build up to running/jogging, interesting.........
Reply:jion ur skool (if u still in their) cross country..... if not just run a mile every day.. then little by little it will start getting easier and then u get better at it
Reply:Never seen the Santa Claus?? As the winter warlock says: put one foot in front of the other, and soon youll be runnin out the door-or-or... but yeah start out with walking and then walking at a faster pace and then build you way up to jogging
Reply:do a little bit as a time.
.25 mile
.30 mile
.35 mile
.40 mile
.45 mile
.5 mile
.55 mile
and so on.
also try to eat healthy. GET PLENTY OF VEGIES AND FRUITS. start slow b/c if u start eating only healthy ur metabolism will *** u up. celery is great b/c it has 1 calorie per serving, but it takes you 2 calories to eat it.
i'm like 5' 6'' and 125. so i'm a little underwight and so i want to gain muscle.
hope i could help man. u can do it if u try cus ur the one in ******* charge of ur life. aka UR DA MAN
Reply:just start by walking and slowly build up into a jog and then go for as long as you can and stamia will improve with every walk/jog that you go on just try it

How do I lower my exercise age in Wii sports?
I am trying to lower my age in the exercise training section of Wii Sports, as well as increase my stats. My age was reported to be 80, even though I am 23. I received the lowest rating possible on all categories except stamina, in which I received one rating point higher.
How do I improve this score so that I am no longer embarassed of being a 23 year old in an old body? Is there an effective program that will essentially put me through physical therapy to begin the process of rebuilding my body from 80 years old to at least my 30's? I would really appreciate this, as you might imagine.
How do I lower my exercise age in Wii sports?
It just takes practice. The better you do the lower your age in Wii Sports.
Reply:That's funny. I notice that the Wii doesn't always respond to what you're doing, so you might have to time things right. Guess it wouldn't hurt to practice a little more.
Reply:i suggest you should keep on practicing.it helps alot.
also the exercise age just reflects on your current skill level.not your real age.
Reply:well im 73 and im really 15 and 20 is the is the lowest it goes so that would be like perfect so it doesnt really mean anything
Reply:Become better at the sports they make you do.
Reply:all of the events in wii fitness are available in the practice mode of wii sports too. try practicing the events so that when you play them in the fitness test, you'll do better and get a better age. Also, your age will go down the more you do the fitness test. As described to you in the game.

Why do you think the stigma is sticky?
1. Why do you think the stigma is sticky?
2. How many stamens do you see in your flower?
Why do you think the stigma is sticky?
The stigma is sticky so it can "trap" to pollen.
Most flowers have 6 stamens but a few have many more.
Reply:Stigmas are stick to attract bees, or any other pollinators. They are also stick so that pollen will stick to them and fertilize the eggs located below the stigma.
It really depends on the flower. For example, one flower may have only a couple stamens, but others could have hundreds. I have even heard of a flower that is either male or female, which is different than most flowers.
Reply:The stigma is sticky so pollen will stick to it as insects move in and out of the flower.
Reply:so the pollen sticks to it.

How do i stay fit for Cross Country?
I started running cross country this past fall season. i also play basketball in the winter and lacrosse in the spring. how should i condition during the summer to keep my stamina up for the upcoming season? how can i improve my time without overworking myself too much?
How do i stay fit for Cross Country?
you should continue to run in the summer.
You need to run 3 to 5 times each week.
1 or 2 days do a tempo run.
It would be a good idea to find a road race once or twice a month to stress yourself and work hard.
It is not necessary to run hard like practice but you must keep active and maintain your cardiovascular conditioning.
Reply:Fo sets of whatever u want like a set of 4 800 m. to get faster.
Reply:Just make sure to get an occasional long run in, and run frequently.
Reply:for staying fit diet is also a main thing its like you have to eat vegetable n drink milk n other nutritous stuff for good body n in summer for making up stamina wake up early in the morning n start rnning play soccer if u want this are the best ways to be fit
Reply:our cross country team has scheduled conditioning during the summer. see if ur team might want to do that as well.
Reply:Alright when conditioning for Cross Country you have to remember that the keys are diet, sleep and workout schedules.
Diet is pretty universal for everyone. Fruits, veggies and low fat meat products and lots of dairy and carbs. Pasta has a lot of carbs which you really need to perform at your best. Bananas have lots of potassium which is also really good for you. Don't be dumb and smoke and do drugs and alcohol. If you do those things then you obviously aren't ready to even think about taking on the challenge of being a competitive racer in Cross Country.
Sleep. You need to be getting the proper ammount of sleep every night so that way your body can re-charge and be ready to work hard again the next day.
Workouts. Your workouts will depend on what kind of shape you are in but you should be able to go back into the season having the ability to run 9 miles at a steady 8-8:20 minute mile pace. Before any workout you should do a nice easy mile as a warm-up with about 20-30 minutes of stretching. I cannot tell you enough how important stretching is to you. Stretch everything. Take the time to do it right or else you'll see yourself out for part of the season b/c of injury. After the first week that you don't practice you start to lose your conditioning exponentially. That being said let the workouts begin. Over the summer take 60% days like an easy 3-6 miles and on other days make your workouts more vigorous by doing mile repeats at 80% or race pace. Also do sprint workouts like sprinting 100 meters then jog back to the starting line and sprint again. Do this excercise about 10 times. Make sure you take one day off once a week so that way your body doesn't get totally worked out. B/c once you hit a certain point and don't let your body recover then it starts to break down.
Remember to push yourself. When running cross country your body is ALWALYS stronger than your mind is. It can do far more than what you could ever imagine if you let it. Trust me I've been there.
Reply:Most good xc teams will have summer practices run by the captains, so talk to them and see if they have anything planned, and if not, you should plan it, its a lot more fun and beneficial to run with others.
Reply:Yea! A cross country running lacrosse player! (I got a broken nose, chipped tooth, and scratched glasses from a tragic bball accident, which is why I don't play). Mark a route for you to run a couple times a week, and every so often, run some hills, up and down. Run on a treadmill, and on gravel, asphalt, grass, and the woods, so you are ready for ANYTHING.
Crunches, push-ups, striders, leg streches.........etc
Reply:Basically just keep running at least 3 days a week, and increase to 4-5 about 1-2 months before your first practice. Also do some light weight training etc. For workout ideas, use some of the same workouts you did for XC practice. Make sure you run 3-8 miles, a mix of "long" and "short" runs, with tempo, hill, and speed runs too. Mix up the workout, route, etc so you don't get bored.
I am a vasristy high school cross-country runner in the fall, and a varsity basketball player in the winter. This is what I do: in the 4 weeks between XC and basketball, I run sprints and work on lateral movement, etc, to prepare me for basketball. During basketball I run 1 time a week, if that. I hardly ever run on a day we have practice or a game, because I'm working hard enough in basketball. Then once basketball is over, I start up running again.

How to find good items in WoW?
I have this Shaman named Sindaran on Garona he's only level 9 but every character I've made was very crappy when it came to armor and attributes like stamina and intellect and all that stuff. I need like a strategy to get items that will make this character actually good. And if any of you can give me in game help that would be great.
How to find good items in WoW?
for one, i wouldn't exactly listen to people who say don't play it. you're fine as long as you don't make it your life.
anyways
honestly, i would suggest NOT buying stuff from the auction house as you level. yeah, buying stuff every now and then is fine. but don't go to the auction house to see if you can buy something new every single time you level, especially blues. as you get higher, you're going to need that gold to train your spells, buy mounts, etc. if you waste it all on gear from the auction house, you won't have the gold. personally, i'd just wait til you got to the level where you can run instances for gear. blizz updated pretty much all pre-BC dungeons so even if you run a lowbie one you'll probably get a nice blue. i don't know if you're horde or alliance.. but if you're:
horde - wait til level 13 or so, and run ragefire chasm, or wait until 17 or so and run wailing caverns.
alliance - i'm not too sure on this one, as i don't have any ali. but i think the lowest would be wailing caverns at 17?.. or stockades? at 21 or so?
that is just my opinion tho =)
Reply:your best way to get the most premium stuff is to outfit yourself with all the best gear you can find from the auction house. i always ran dungeons, or had a higher level guildie run me though, got the drops from them and used the money from their sale to upgrade my stats. or buy gold from a third party site, and buy the heck out of the AH.
Reply:u will get better items as you go along and raid, but seriously i wouldnt start with that game, i got hooked and it took a lot to stop playing it. im not telling you what to do, just advising

How do i train my body to run longer distances?
i'm 136 pounds, 5'2" and 17yrs, so i'm not in the greatest shape, but i do like to run. i want to be able to run long distances and have lots of stamina, but where do i start? how do i know when i should increase the distance i'm running?
How do i train my body to run longer distances?
Practice everyday, run in your park for about 25 minutes. Do it at least 3 times in a week.
After a long practice, this will improve your stamina. SO have a good try. GOOD LUCK
Reply:Ok, first get your self a good pair of running shoes, then check on the Internet in your area for running group and if you don't have any around you. Take to the park, 1min run, 5min walk for a week say 3 to 5 times a week then 1min run 4min walk till you get to 5 min run 2 min walk in some weeks and from then on you build on the run and decrease the walk after months of training all the best you can also get alot of information from Internet say

Reply:First, think about checking with a doctor to see what you may or may not be able to do.
Then, go buy some good running shoes from a marathon store or a sports store. Stay away from Footlocker and other stores that have a lot of basketball jerseys for sale. They focus on basketball shoes and won't have good shoes for running.
Next, practice running 2-3 miles in a single go. Run slow and easy and work on focusing with your breathing. After a month or so, your body will get stronger with running these distances. Then, work on 4-5.
Go to your local library and look at books on running. There is a wealth of knowledge available to you for free. Check it out!
Good luck!
Reply:run everyday,go to fitness.
Reply:I worked myself up to being able to run for one hour and a half, and this came from someone who would get tired running after the second minute. It took me about 8 months to be honest, I was training 6 days a week, i added a minute each day to my runs, and i also made sure i invested in a good pair of running shoes to be 100% comfortable. I also used to rotate every other week, to 5 min speed walks 5 minute runs for one hour, before you knew it months had gone by and I was able to keep running for much longer. Good luck to ya.
Reply:Just run - if you just want to be a long distance runner, your stamina isn't as important as the strength in your legs - the fastest way to increase strength and stamina is by forcing yourself - but if you don't want it that way, then just run for example 1 mile and increase every week for 500 m. If you can't increase for 500, try less. This way you will surely progress.
Also, keep your heart rate from 60%-80% for at least 20 minutes - that's for stamina
