Yes ladies and gentlemen I am going to do some jogging again. I downloaded a podcast with 27 lessons. But I have doubts on whether it is tailored to my level or not.
I've listened to the first lesson and the scheme was as follows:
Lesson 1
1. Run 1 minute.
2. Walk 1 minute.
3. Run 2 minutes.
4. Walk 2 minutes
5. Run 3 minutes.
6. Walk 3 minutes.
But isn't this a bit too much for an overweight beginner like me? I've jogged in the past and I always did 30 seconds and 1 minute of walking, and that until I felt I could proceed to one minute.
What is your advice?

Yes that seem a bit much for beginners. I would say make sure you stretch before any type of work out first.
Than maybe start walking the first day. The second day I would try to jog until you feel it is a bit to much and always, always walk after a jog for at least 3 - 5 minutes so the muscles do not tighten up.
I would definitely consult a doctor before starting form of work out that would be my best advice.
Good luck with that.
Anyway thanks for your reply, gurl.
