No way I am ready for running at this point. But maybe I can get there. Based on what they're saying, at 300lbs (I am only a little less) walking 4 miles a day is only burning a little over 600 calories. And that does not take into account the calories I would have burned by just sitting on my ass. So I'm not even walking off one meal at this point. But I'm not going to give up. I am starting to feel some of the benefits, and I don't want to give that up. I am kinda digging being outside a little more, but I may invest in a treadmill one of these days. That way I could work on running a little in the privacy of my basement, rather than bouncing my way up the street in full view of other humans. |
