Train to Walk or Jog a Full or Half-Marathon in Six Months - Anybody Can Do It!Now is the time to start improving your exercise routine.

  • Start out slowly with 5-10 minutes of activity at a time and build up to at least 30 minutes of moderately intense activity to get the most benefit. Try to build up to at least  2 1/2 hours of moderate activity a week.
  • Being active at least three days a week is best. When you’re ready to go further, first build up the length of activity, and then the intensity.
  • Avoid injury, wear proper shoes, dress appropriately for the weather and drink plenty of water when doing activity that makes you sweat.
  • Make exercise and movement a regular part of your day by making it a priority. Enlist a friend to keep you going, make it fun.
  • Join a walking/jogging training group or exercise class at your local community center or park. 
  • Vary your activities to keep it interesting and reduce risk of injury.
  • Plan on activities you can do in different weather conditions or during the dark winter months.outdoor-exercising
