    Exactly. My coworker is very overweight and they’re trying to lose it, and they’re explicitly avoiding running and focusing on walking for exactly this reason.

    Even if you’re not overweight, walk before you run so you can build up all the supporting muscles you’ll need so you don’t injure yourself.

      Yeah I’d say you should probably try swimming or something instead. Unsure of any other activities that are easier for the body.
