How to not get as tired running/get into shape?

How to start exercise when you are very out of shape?

  • ive never really been an exercise person so my body is VERY out of shope i mean like EXTREMELY OUT OF SHAPE today i tried jump roping but after like 5 minutes i was so out of breath and extremely tired i feel like my body is so bad now that i cant start exercising because i will always be tired :( i want to be in shape and not be flabby, but its very hard for me when my body is very out of shape! its extremely embarrasing to be honest. and please dont suggest stuff like jenny craig, nutrisystem, weight watchers because the way i really want to get into shape is by eating right and exercising not those things. also i dont have a lot of money so i cant go to those or the gym. so what are some ways more to build endurance and not get soo tired while working out?

  • Answer:

    OK, trying to start by jumping rope is pretty much setting yourself up to fail. That's very high-intensity exercise, and even many people in fairly good shape can't do it for long. Endurance is something you build up over time. Start with walking. If all you can do is 15 minutes at a brisk pace, then fine, do 15 minutes daily and build up to longer distances. If you currently drive from place to place, switch to walking wherever possible. When you can comfortably do 30 minutes at a brisk pace, try jogging a little, or add hand weights. Every day you do this, your overall fitness level will increase, and eventually, you'll be able to jog, run, whatever. If you can't afford the gym, find out if there's a local community centre or school that offers any low-cost fitness activities. Keep eating healthy, and good luck.

You should start stretching before you exercise like that, that way your muscles can loosen up a bit. Start of the day with stretching your hands and legs. Start with a short simple exercises like situps, jogging etc. good luck :)

My whole life has contained alot of activity.. ..work-sports-dancing on the weekends.. When I became disabled..my weight went from 147-pounds..to 255-pounds.. In about 10-years..mainly it was in-activity..just sitting in a chair-smoking cigarettes.. Eating poorly..mostly very cheap foods..and alot of it.. Huge amounts of medications..(for about 6-years..)..but on Meds for about 10-years.. === Well..its called hyper-tension..and diabetes-2../ I started by walking everyday--for 15-minutes.. Once I quit the tobacco.. I quit the alcohol.. I began to walk more..like just out for a casual walk..No Real Destination or Time.. Just out in the daylight.. I would get cramps in my lower leg..I needed to stop--untie my sneakers..and wait.. Then re-tie them..and walk again.. === My weight really did drop to 230-pounds..pretty easily.. I went to a doctor for a complete physical and blood work.. I got some regular medical attention.. I was in good shape..internally.. === So..I moved to a diet.. I pretty much just ate.. Poached salmon..every day.,.for 6-months.. ..adding boiled rice and lentils..with brussel sprouts or broccoli.. ...nothing added..everything just plain..boiled.. === No Caffiene No Alcohol No Condiments No Dairy No Desserts No Eggs No Bread === From that experiance..I would suggest bottled water.. Don't use TAP Water.. === Even today--I cook with bottled water-only.. === OK..that diet above is about 600-calories.. I did run into some problems.. I came down with a gum disease..that took about 3-weeks to cure..(at home)// I also lost my wisdom teeth.. === About 3-months into this plan..I added weight inside a backpack.. Started to walk over 3-miles per day.. === Soon I was doing 7-miles with no problem.. === I started useing a Soy Powder Multi-Vitamin--amino acid product.. I was making milkshakes..each morning.. === At six months..I added chicken back to my diet.. Also..dairy products.. I didn't use red meat..until 12-months along.. === I started useing weights in a backpack..I added weight to my chest--to balance out the work-out.. I still have some injuries--from those weights wacking me in the chest.. I would suggest a weighted vest--sold by Gold's GYM..products.. === By 9-months...my hyper-tension and diabetes 2 was gone.. I had been useing a Glucose Meter--to monitor my meals.. I think that is a good move--to use.. === You must use very good footware.. I always use NIKE--footware.. ..everything else just won't do..it breaks down..because of the weights.. === I began to make breakfast..Oatmeal..plain.. Or oatmeal and Wheatena..mixed togeter--plain.. NO SUGAR.. === I also did a complete apartment--make-over.. The cigarette smoking destroyed my living space.. If I could not wash it--I threw it in the garbage.. === I still walk today.. That 9-months took me from 255-LBS. to 180-LBS. But I ate back to 190-LBS. because I just didn't feel all that great at 180-LBS. === Today--I'm a constant 200-LBS. I eat better..but I eat quite a lot of food.. === I recommend--walking as low impact.. Get a Blood Pressure-Heart Monitor.. Glucose Meter Digital Body Weight Scale Notebook Digital Thermometer === 600-calories is nearly starving.. 1200-calories is recommended as a daily diet.. My walking exercise was having me drop..10-pounds each time.. I think that was all water weight.. So...the milkshakes and bottled water are very important.. === Today--when I walk even 7-miles..I seldom lose any weight--maybe 2-pounds if I'm lucky.. === It really comes down to pushing yourself.. You will exercise--and then reach a STOP-Point.. I would suggest trying the hills..walk up hills..at this point.. I was useing 21-LBS. in my packpack..about 11-pounds on my chest for counter-weight.. === My Gold's GYM..vest weighs 30-pounds.. Its very comfortable..it doesn't leave body marks or damage.. === I have a good understanding of my body.. So..at times I could back-OFF..and not harm myself.. But I did suffer some injuries.. Its risky-adding the weights..but its also very necessary.. === Hope that helps.. Take NOTES../be careful.
