Getting Started with Running in the Body You Have

Running provides cardiovascular benefits and can be enjoyable. Starting with a conversational pace, known as the 'sexy pace,' is recommended. Regardless of body type, anyone can start running by alternating 15 seconds of running with 1 minute of walking. Motivation and positive affirmations help overcome inner criticism. It's important to wear proper running shoes, avoid cotton fabrics to prevent chafing, and use body lube. Cross-training and stretching should be incorporated into the routine for overall fitness and injury prevention.
