How to develop stamina for jogging? After three minutes of it, I feel my heart is going to explode!help
Also getting up early in the morning seems impossible n jogging in the evening seems weird since no one is doing that at that hour ..n can jogging help you tone up fast? I'm slightly overweight but shedding off the few extra kilos seems like an impossible task

You need to develop it first by walking and then walk/run/walk/run each time a little longer. Everyday your stamina will improve!

It's interesting when you are on a treadmill to see that you can jog to the same slower speeds that you can walk at quite comfortably. So what I'm saying is that a good brisk walk pace will get your heart rate up....which is what the goal is.

I've read that having sex burns as many calories as running a mile. If that is true, why don't the doctors just tell us to have sex instead of running?Like (1)

Swimming is good to build up stamina. It's a more "gentle" form of excercise, but actually you're using every muscle in your body- so you're working harder than you realise. I went lane swimming a few months before I started running to build up my stamina level...think it worked. :)

Skip dinner altogether and see how your weight drops. Have a hearty B'fast in the morning.

Keep going...when it gets to 10 or 15 minutes it's really easy to keep going. Just walking instead of jogging will help too.

Well, I'm an endurance athlete myself. Seems to me you're not used to being active, so yes, this may take a while. Patience is key here. First off, start lightly, first 5 minutes, just walk normally. After that, start power walking to get your heart rate up a bit more. It's important to breathe while doing this, you're not straining yourself yet, so remember to breathe so your muscle get enough oxygen, it will help you keep up the activity since it's still aerobic respiration and no lactic acid will be built up. Power walk for about 10-15 minutes. Then, start jogging at a slow pace, and by slow, I mean starting out really slow. When you feel you're used to is, increase pace. Once you reach a pace where you can't keep up, slow down and adjust to where you can maintain pace, keep your heart rate at a good level but still manage to keep up. Now ou'll find you can jog, but it's not at the level you probably want. Do this for a week, and during the next week, push yourself a bit further, try to work above a comfortable level. You've already built a base endurance in the first week, so in the second you'll want to push yourself to boost that base level. Every week, push yourself more and more. What I like to do, is during the last 5-10 minutes of jogging. I sprint at a considerably fast past. Wind sprints help build up your cardiovascular endurance. You should integrate wind sprints in the third week. By the 4th week you'll feel relatively fit and your endurance will be much much better. Once you've reach a certain endurance level, you'll feel you can go on for quite some time. Now obviously, you won't necessarily be able to go for a while hour from the first week. So, here's a suggested list of jogging times for each week.
First week: 30 minutes
Second week: 45 minutes, last 15 minutes you're pushing your self above comfort zone.
Third week: 1 hour, integrate wind sprint into the last 5-10 minutes.
Fourth Week: Go at full intensity jogs for at least an hour (you can go further if you want)
[Note: We're talking daily jogging, that takes commitment]
That's the physical part, you have to also watch what you eat. Stay away from quick energizing carbs that only temporarily boost your energy. Anything with a lot of sugar or simple carbs that are digested quickly, you should avoid. Go for complex carb that are digested gradually, they help maintain a consistent energy level. High glucose foods will give you a big boost for maybe 5-10 minutes, but once you've used it up and your blood sugar goes down, you'll feel drained. I recommend a low carb, high protein diet. Low carb will help you shed the weight, protein will help you build the muscle. Eat a lot veggies, they'll sustain your energy levels, and the fiber will help your digestion as well. Beans are a good source of protein and fiber, I go for black eyes beans, personally. Good sources of protein are lean meats, chicken is good lunch or dinner, egg whites work for b
