6 week running program
Lose weight with this 6-week training program for beginners.
Haven't run since you were 10? No sweat. This plan, designed by fitness guru Amy Dixon, will help you build from a walk to a run. By the end, you'll be able to run 30 minutes without stopping and you'll be showing off a rock hard body under your running shorts.
Do all walking and running at an intensity level that feels challenging but comfortable. Feel free to switch the rest day, but make sure you do one day of rest each week.
And don't forget to stretch after each workout.

Do 2 sets, resting for 30 seconds between set.
