Beginners Jogging Schedule

Beginners jogging schedule is a basic guide to get you started on losing weight, building endurance, reducing stress and much more. If you've never before jogged in your life than you may be surprised at how simple it can be. Yes, it's not difficult. It does take time, but if you devote time for yourself to begin jogging you will be surprised at what you can achieve.

Before Starting A Beginners Jogging Schedule

• Talk with a doctor first before doing anything since they know your medical history and whether or not this is the right kind of aerobic fitness for you.

• Invest in a good pair of running shoes to avoid injuries and blisters.

• Wear a watch to track your time or carry a pedometer if you're measuring the number of steps you're taking. Some people like to track the numbers of steps they take to achieve a specific daily number in their weight loss efforts. Do what works for you.

• Warm up for at least five minutes. Do some light stretching too to get your muscles ready. Of course, you should always conclude your jogging routines with a cool down and additional stretching.

Once you've found a location where you're comfortable jogging you can begin. Find a place that is relatively flat since hills will overwhelm you. If it's possible jog on dirt or grass since cement is harder on your joints.

Know in your mind how far you're going to jog and when you're going to stop and begin your cool down.

Begin Jogging

After your warm up begin jogging for 30 seconds. Walk for three minutes. Jog for 30 seconds again and then walk for two minutes.Continue doing this until you've completed your work out time. Ideally you should do this schedule for twenty minutes since you're taking five minutes to warm up and five minutes to cool down. Try this schedule for the first week.

In your second week begin jogging for a full minute and walk for two minutes. Do this until you've completed your work out. Continue this schedule for your second week. If a full minute is too much, go back to thirty seconds. Listen to your body.

In your third week begin jogging for two minutes and then walk for two minutes. Lengthen the recovery time if you feel two minutes of walking isn't enough. But don't walk so long that you've lowered your heart rate and are no longer in your heart rate zone.

In your fourth week begin jogging for three minutes and walk for two minutes. Continue the jog-walk-jog method until you've completed your exercise routine.

Conclusion

Each subsequent week you'll want to add a full minute of jogging to your schedule until you reach twenty minutes of jogging. You may still want to walk but keep the walks short and try to stay within your target heart rate zone since you want your time to be spent effectively burning calories.

A beginners jogging schedule should be slow and steady. Always listen to your body for any unusual or sharp pains. Get them looked at by your doctor if they persist for more than a day or two. You should be tired and achy, but nothing too serious.

After a month of doing this beginners jogging schedule regularly you will feel stronger. It won't be as difficult as it was when you started and you may begin noticing some of the benefits of regular exercise. Keep your jogs fun! And definitely keep at it until you get the results you want. In no time you'll be jogging a complete mile and that will be an exciting achievement.



Once you've jogged that first mile (and subsequent miles) you'll know there's nothing that can stop you. You will have overcome that first hump (completing your first mile) and you will feel terrific!
