Sedentary to an active 1hour running, from walking

 By Rameshon


People who are sedentary have asked me questions on how to keep themselves active over time. It should be noted that cancer and heart problems can be prevented by one taking to physical activity. Moreover, one should also do one's own best to learn Qi Kong or Pranayama to prevent all forms of diseases. It is good to indulge on asanas or yoga poses as well as it increases one's health, physically. The importance is seen more when one becomes older and the best way to retard aging is to exercise all the way throughout life. 


Here in this essay, I will put a summary of how a sedentary person can plan out a program to finally do an hour of running and keep doing it about 4 times per week.
