splurge on good shoes. running outdoors is bad on the joints.
i hate cardio, but if i had to chose an outdoorsy one to do, it would be mountain biking, or just biking in general.
i'm more of a gym girl. gimme some music in my ears and one of those elliptical machines and i'm good to go. |

Get a dog. that will be your motivation. He'll bark and nag you if you don't walk him everyday. He'll even pull you along.
Start out walking then move up to running. I'm usually motivated to run to get it over quicker because I've got to do something after.
Btw, running isn't the best thing for you. You might find your knees/feet don't like the pounding.
Another type of motivation sign up for 5k race. You won't want to look like a fool who's the last one or has to walk it out. Shame and competition is a great motivator. |

| Meh, I'm not too worried about my knees. I've been dancing on them hard for years, plus I used to ski and . They're good! I have an athletic body...runs in the family. |

Why is a treadmill so bad? I'm asking because I run on one. |
It's not BAD - just not as good as running outside. I'm time limited so I can't always get out into nature to run, though recently I've been jogging around my neighbourhood (like today).
I found that treadmill work *can* get boring but it really does come down to how focused you are.
The benefit of running outside is that there are natural variances in levels, as you go from flat areas to hills, etc. So there's no need to play around with the treadmill settings. Because of these variances you get challenged more.
Either way, regular exercise is better than no exercise :) |

+1 for a bike.
I used to run, run, run until I started feeling it in my knees (especially over the winter running on a treadmill). Now I ride a (road) bike, and I wish I'd done it from the start. Much more fun, much cooler on a hot day, and you can actually use it for transportation if need be. Plus, if you race and you're a guy, you get to shave your legs. |

| jenny when i started i would go for about 30 minutes 4 times a week. i would just make a route along my neighborhood. i really liked running outside. it's just something you make yourself do until it becomes a routine. best of luck to you! |
