Well, it's fairly easy. It goes a bit like this: You move in a forward motion, putting one foot in front of the other, rather like what we call "walking." Gradually, you increase your speed. Quite easy, actually ! I'm sure you'll do fine !

Step 1: Stand Up Step 2: Push your legs forward causing a reaction that moves the whole body lol Step 3: Try to move your legs faster Step 4: Move at a steady pace Step 5 (Optional): If you are a rather large person, throw your stomach in front of you and your body should follow lol Step 6: Repeat Steps 2-4

Take a look at the runners world web site, they have some beginners programs developed by some really good coaches. also some discussions in the public area.

It is best to start out slow and easy, like at a fast walk or a jog working your way up to a fast run. Don't forget to stretch.

Well, you could try left foot first, or right foot first. Its 50/50 here and there really is no wrong answer. JUST DO IT ALREADY!

"Running" isn't a good form of exercise if you're looking to lose weight or just stay in shape. It does little more than a daily walk and involves more impact on your joints which may contribute to future deterioration. The only advantage walking has is that it promotes circulation - running increases the circulation a little more, but it also overworks the heart. As for calories burned there aren't that many. I walk when the weather permits and a two-mile walk only burns about 150-175. You put that back on when you down that energy drink afterward.

Best to start walking first if you are unfit, this also lessens the impact on your joints, then work your way up to running. Make sure you have a decent pair of running shoes, that help with shock absorption and supports your arches.
