I had my second baby three months ago and I'm kind of out of shape (I've been preggo 4 times in 3 years and about 40 lbs heavier then when I started). I was never on the track team or anything, but I used to enjoy running when I was in school. Is this a good way to lose weight?? I need to lose all over but especially around my middle. I live really close to a school with a track and would like to start. What's a good way to start without getting discouraged so I can keep it up?
Also, should I invest in some running shoes? If so what kind...any other kind of gear I would need?
Answer
This is my running guide for beginner.
even if you are in good shape and perfect health, it is important that you go to your physician to seek consultation before you pick up running. sometimes, we just won't know what's happening in our body, moreover you have asthma.
after you confirmed that you are fit to run, the first rule you must obey is, "don't let yourself hate running". so you can start from walking, brisk walking, slow jogging anything that sweat you out within your comfort zone. try to do it at least thrice a week, half hour each time since that's the effective exercising period.
second rule "enjoy running". try to get a companion, motivate each other. get a mp3 player, listen to music while running. get a comfortable outfit, a pair of good running shoes. since you'll be working hard, pampered yourself. look out for any running event in your neighborhood. participate, even if you know you can't run that far, as long as you can walk that far. this is where you can get motivated.
third rule you need to remember "control your appetite and watch your diet". many people gained weight after exercising due to over eating. after exercised, they feel hungry. thinking that they had worked it out, they intake more calories than they burnt.
last rule "be patient". many people give up after sometimes because their weight did not go down. losing weight through exercising is and should be a gradual process. in general, you need to burn 3500kcal to lose 1lb. yet a half hour run burnt you less than 500kcal. assuming you workout 3 times a week, each time you run half hour, you may not even lose a pathetic pound after 2 weeks. so be patient, you should set a target of maybe losing 10lbs in a year. not 10lbs in a month.

Isn't this fun? Watch out for morning sickness returning and heartburn so bad you vomit straight stomach acid, oh and has anyone mentioned hemorrhoids? Just kidding : ) Try to find a copy of "the girlfriends guide to pregnancy" and "what to expect when you're expecting" read ahead abit and you'll be ready for anything your expanding body can throw at you. Good luck and try to enjoy being pregnant it really is amazing and believe it or not you will miss it after awhile. You can't get much closer to your baby then right now so revel in the miracle of creating life it is the most powerful gift we have as women
