I have faith that the exercise plan I'm following will eventually get me into good physical condition. I'm overweight and out of shape. I walk up a flight of stairs and am out of breath. Unacceptable, so I'm following a plan to get me to being a jogger. It's a plan that sets goals toward running that are small increments. For example, I started out by walking for 5 minutes and jogging for one. You get the picture - you increase the jogging gradually until eventually you will jog the entire time. I've been doing it for a month now. I jog slow but am building up endurance, I think. I also have been modifying my diet to include veggies and healthy chit, excluding burgers and hot dogs and pasta and wonderful ice cream. I wanted to see if my conditioning has made me more fit so I timed myself today for a distance of about 1/3rd mile. That's as far as I've been able to go so far, but its increasing gradually. My jogging time was 6.5 minutes. Then I walked the same distance at a normal walking pace, and timed that. The result - 8 minutes.
