That is EXACTLY what it takes Adam! Don’t be discouraged by the endurance- it comes quickly with consistency. And you’re right, as you drop a little weight, you’ll feel the difference. 💪🏼🏃🏻
I posted another comment but I really hope you see this because I feel so strongly about the Jeff Galloway method. There is an app to download and you can research him and his run/walk method. I completed many a race using this method.
As a person ages, it does take longer to lose weight and get into shape. It all has to do with metabolism and organ functions. Slow & steady wins the race. It may take longer, but you can do it.
The reason it felt so jarring is because your brain is remembering how smooth the treadmill is. That shock goes away after a few days. When I started, I could only jog slowly to the end of the block. Within a few days I was up to a half mile and a few weeks, two miles. I was 50 lbs overweight. After a few months I was running instead of jogging. Dont give up!
This is not true, the shock does not "go away". Running is high-impact and very hard on your body. If you ask a doctor they will tell you to walk fast or use the elliptical machine and not to run. It's rough even on slim young bodies and prone to causing injuries but even more so on older heavy bodies. That being said, I'm a runner and I love it. Please work up to it and take proper precautions against injury. To go from nothing right into running is insanity. Marathons are about endurance and cardio, start there.
@@peppranne6314 Sorry, I didnt mean the physical impact, I meant the way you feel running on pavement after training solely on a treadmill. The difference is mentally shocking until you get used to it.
I did the exact same thing you are doing 3 years ago. 60 lbs down and have kept it off. Couldn't run 200 yards the day I began, now running 10k's and halfs, also trail running. Keep it up my friend!
Proud of you for taking the first step. Instead of focusing on a distance at first and failing, focus on time. Try 3 rounds of 2 minutes jogging and a 5 minutes walking and see how far you can get. Then as you build that stamina you can adjust as needed. Little more jog, little less walking as you get better and faster. TRUST ME THIS WORKS. I lost over 100 pounds and became an avid runner using this method. Keep at it Adam, we're all rootin for you!
Watch your knees. Starting to jog or run after not for a long time is very hard on the knees and joints. Better off just brisk walking - gets the heartrate up and easier on the joints. IF you must jog, ease into it over a month or so.
A friend of mine, in relatively good shape, decided to run a marathon. His knees have given him trouble ever since. Be careful. It's a lot harder on you than you may realize.@@TheDailyWoo
@@meyerbuttreeks8589 This is a great point that almost none of us take into account. We all think about the health aspect of exercise, but there are, or can be negative aspects to too much of a good thing. Thank you.
I strongly suggest you follow a half marathon plan for beginners. You will wear out fast if you just go out and jog as long as you can. You need to build up and you have plenty of time to do that. I suggest a walk/run. Timed out example: run 1 min walk one min and gradually increase the run time. You can do the whole race run/walk. Trying to go out and run a whole mile at the start like you did in this video is a good way to get injured! Good luck! I know you can do this!
I've used the Couch to 5K app in the past and it helped me more than anything. It got me outside and moving, little increases over a set period of time, endorphins kick in.. I felt better and actually completed the 5K before the staff took down the banners and folded the tables. Never did more than a really fast walk - 99% of those who participated ran the entire 5k as a warm up for that afternoon's 10K. Not me. I went home and soaked in a tub of epsom salts. I was 47 when I did my first 5K. Just have 5 months left as a 57'er to do my 2nd. HAHA!!
Protect your knees & ankles at all cost. I jog/walk in a pool back & forth for hours at a time. I dont care how crazy it looks...gravity is not kind to knees & ankles.
Totally! And stretching afterwards is SOOO important! Or even during. When I used to run 5 miles a day, I always stopped halfway and did the half-step on the curb thing, pressing down those heels and stretching those hammies! 😁
Amen. I have a lot of family members in their mid-60's and up, that are having major problems with their knees, hips and sometimes ankles. YES, water exercise is good. Weightless wonderful.
Hello adam, first time I've ever commented. 58 years old. I am watching you every day do this journey and I give you lots of kudos. Not trying to put you on the spot but you are an inspiration. Stay safe and strong
As a runner .....take it nice and steady Adam , nothing wrong in run and walk ...just don't beat yourself up ...every little bit you do , you will benefit on the day ....Good luck
I love how you are keeping it real with us. I have been using a treadmill and elliptical and doing ok, but the first time I tried to run/jog on pavement, I injured my knee and developed IT band syndrome. It took months to heal.
Thank you for being honest in your healthy journey! I turned 50 last year and those pounds really creep up on you! You’ve been an inspiration for me and I’m slowly in the journey with you man! Keep going you’ll get there!
My husband is a runner, he did the Dopey. Please look up a running program. Makes it easier to transition into running❤ Also, keep in mind your body is not used to all of this. People are spot on with saying to get your heart checked out. They are also correct in saying that your joints are the same age as you, when people push too much in the beginning they typically end up with an injury like a meniscus tear. So be kind and go easy❤
Lao Tzu: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." You can do this man! No matter how good or bad the run session is - you got out, you did it, celebrate small steps and please take it slow and don't hurt yourself...leads to long delays and frustration.
15 years older than Adam here. I'm 155 on a 6' 1" frame. I can walk - brisk walk - with the best of them. But running is out. Even with a skinny body, at 65, running just ain't happening. So, when weather permits, I fast walk anywhere from a mile to 2.25 miles a day. Even if I physically could run, I think I'd still opt for the walking. Why? Because I worry about wear & tear on the feet, ankles, knees, and hips. I think walking is far easier on the bones.
I agree. So much better on all the joints. Running is for the birds (or teenagers!). 59 year old here and it’s fast walking for me, low impact cardio, strength training and core work. That gets the job done. ✔️
The first run is always super important to see how you feel and the progress you will make in the future. Fellow runner in Celebration, there's plenty of great trails all around. Keep it up!
I have an Apple Watch, but honestly I LOVE the Oura ring!! look into it if you can.. it tracks so much including HRV, step, your sleep in detail, heart rate, temp .. it’s a game changer.. also a non stem pre workout might help since it will buffer some of the lactic acid build up.. you can use a regular pre workout if you are ok with caffeine.. walking is perfectly fine if you can not run.. we are all rooting for you ☺️
Hey man,really proud of you.Keep on pumping and shaping up...oh,and one suggestion-when doing those abs,try to keep your legs slightly separated and when you lift your knees your feet should be at least under them (90 degrees or more)... it's harder but more effective
Hello Adam. At the age of 70, for my birthday, I did a Fast Walk for a 2 1/4 mile from my house to our Starbucks. I had to prove to myself that I could still do it… wow, that was crazy, but I did it! It’s not like I could jog, so a fast walk was my option. And seriously, the idea at my age maybe not such a good idea; but like you, I wanted to see if I could do it! Building your muscles up from a brisk walk to faster, then jogging is a good way to get where you want to be. Don’t over-work your joints too quickly. We’ve watched you for years now and know once you set your mind to do something, you’ll get there. We are rooting for you! Enjoy your weekend and remember that you are important and an amazing person! From Life After 70, here in Anaheim… see you in your next video! ❤️jogging ❤
Good job, Adam! Just remember, slow and steady wins YOUR race. Stretch often and celebrate the small successes as you go along. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Go Adam, Go!!! You’re killing it! So motivational for all of your viewers. You don’t realize, but you’re looking fitter than ever. Fast walking 3 miles is the way to go. I do that a lot and noticed a huge difference in my stamina and fitness. You’ll be fit by 50. No doubt. Keep up the great work. 🖖🏼
Mad props for your effort! You will accomplish this endeavor 👍🏻😊 Fast-paced speed walking, lots of stretching, then slow jog, then pick up the pace, then start running. Your body will thank you. Best outcome will be speed walking daily and eschew with the running, which is too hard on the old knees. You'll get the same exercise benefits from fast-paced walking. Good luck! Keep going 👍🏻😊👏🏻
I suggest maybe looking into a learn to run/5k program at a local running store. Interval training, starting with a 1min Run, 2 minute walk until you get to 10 min run 1 minute walk will pay off in the long run. Also set a short goal of a local 5k run so you can keep the motivation up!
You’re doing great! Endurance is a process!! And work on breathing effectively and maintaining good posture. 2 things that were have changers for me completing the Disney Half! You got this!! 🤗
Get walking. walk half the distance then walk the whole distance, daily. Then integrate jogging where comfortable. Get confident and strong walking the distance fast and the need to jog will follow. Just integrate jogging slowly.
Outstanding brother, my daughter that works for Disney, now in Japan about to finish a two year tsix month executive journey involving all twelve Disney parks will come to an in Anaheim in September. Myself and my other three daughters will be spending an entire month with her there when she returns. We are going to make certain to attend the event and cheer TheWoo on. A little advice to an aging brother, stop by Dicks Sporting Goods and invest in some high quality knee, ankle, and lower back supports and even a hot tub, as your training progresses you'll thank me later. Best of luck my brother.
My dude, no failures!!! You're up and at em that's 100% WIN!!!!!! I'm eating Girl Scouts cookies sitting on the couch watching this AFTER thinking, I should join along the journey!!! 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
A lot of people dieing suddenly from heart problems these days due to being cohersed into taking poison medicine. That and rapid cancer. Outrageous what they did to people.
Well yeah, there are shitty dr out there like there are shitty plumbers and teachers. You have to be an advocate for yourself and understand what is going on health wise and what treatments are best. Cancer is horrible. Some of cancer can be avoided by first taking care of yourself. Yearly checkups and eating well. Eating fast food and highly processed food will definitely increase your chances of cancer or cardiovascular disease. @@martymartin2894
I feel you man it is tough. I will be 50 this year, too. My wife has been getting on me to get fit for my health. I drive a truck for Walmart that doesn't help me either. It's hard to go walking or anything after i get stopped at night. I am just so tired when I stopped for the night.
I love it when the endorphins kick in . I walk and do a little running.. i think we all need to make sure that we can run. Especially if someone is afraid you. Great video! Oh i want to try that leg lift machine.
Please keep up to it, Adam!! Long as you stretch before, every run becomes easier and takes you further!!! ✨️ Sooner than later, especially with doing the treadmill, you'll be able to run like the wind blows 🔥 🤘
Props to you, man. You're trying, and putting in an effort. I got my annual physical yesterday and I'm the heaviest I've ever been and I can feel it in my knees. Being 45, I know it's going to be harder to maintain, so your efforts are inspiring me to do better. Getting my lab results will also help me figure out where I'm at with my diet as well. I've been vegetarian for 24 years, I just need to cut back the starches/sugars, and watch my portions.
We’re pushing for you Adam. Good luck. You’ve inspired me. I started working out this week. Tomorrow will be my third session. Going to start walking more also and possibly a light run. Fit by 44 for me.
Much respect man. I will be 59 years old in 3 weeks... i never was a runner... and about 6 years ago, I signed up for a 5K ... wore crappy shoes.... and tore the tendons / ligaments in my right interior ankle. I just had my second surgery... this time, an ankle fusion surgery to line everything up and to keep it lined up in that ankle.,,, will NOT do the running again. The working out..,. and weight management... heck yah. for me, I just do primarily weight assisted dips....and when my ankle fully heals...I will be.back to walking about 10 miles a week JUST do YOU man..no need to prove anything to anyone. LOVE YOUR VIDS man, been watching for a long time.... from Marietta, Ga.
When I started training to do the Star Wars Disney half marathon, I went from not running AT ALL, to finishing the race by training with the app Couch to 5K. It's a great way to break into running. It starts off with shorts bursts of jogging and builds your endurance up to jog the entire 5K. I know the half marathon is a lot longer, but this is a great way to get you in shape without over doing it right away and hindering your training.
If you get a Garmin 955/965 you can get a training plan to help you get used to running and help increase your distance and pace. Its cheaper than a Apple Watch Ultra with long battery life. I have both and end up wearing my Garmin more than my apple watch. Also, we share a birthday week and the same age. Thanks for some inspiration to move more. Anyone can be a "runner" I have two replaced knees and still getting there
Well be proud of what you've accomplished. You are doing great with being healthy man. That is a massive change in your body to be able run that marathon. We are cheering you on regardless of what you do.
I love the effort! You are definitely motivated! Just take it slow and work your way up! I think your idea to walk briskly for some time and not start running until dropping some weight is a good plan. Any extra weight is brutal on your knees. I know from experience! 😊
Hello, when I was in Florida from the Uk in august last year I did the Clermont park run which is on every Saturday and is 5k, that could help with your training and you would get to run with other people also?! Good luck 🤞 😊
You got this, Adam! The fact that you’re out there doing it is an incredible! Just work on your breathing and every day you will get better and it will become easier! Just stay consistent Adam you got this!!! Super proud of you! Fitness journey is hard, no matter what age!!!
I admire you for even doing this. Love your honesty about what you can & can't do. Getting a physical is a really great idea. Just be careful and take it slow. Rest well tonight Adam you've earned it.
I am over 50 and its good you are getting a head start on this because as you get older its harder to get in shape and lose weight. You got this! You are really motivating me as well. We just set up our treadmill in our garage too!
Step by step, Adam, take it easy. Good that you are taking care of yourself. 😊 I'm 49 and I do cycling. I can't run, because of my knees, but it's great exercise as well.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I’m in my early 70’s and I try to maintain a 4 mile per hour pace or better for 6 miles. Most people can’t comprehend how fast you have to walk to hold that pace. If Adam walked the 1/2 marathon at 4mph for 3hours and 15 minutes, I would consider that successful. Plus his body would say thank you.
I found that starting with a brisk walk and using the lamp posts or timing your self for 30 seconds to 1 minute, doing a walk for 30 seconds then brisk walk and alternate between the two to build endurance,. Then you can build speed from brisk walk to jog. You will find it hard to start with, but after a week or two you will find it better. Don't forget to do some rest days to let your muscles grow stronger.Yoga or palates does help with the stiffness. Start slow and grow on it.👍
U r doing great! Pace yourself. Physical great advice. Brisk walking with weights is great too. Jogging is rough on ankles, knees and back. Healthy walking is awesome. Best of Luck! U will find what is good for u! Awesome share to all! Thank u! ❤️
I started running in my 40's too. I run/walk too. My best half marathon is 2:32 which I hope to beat in my 50's now. Taking this year off due to money issues and needing new running shoes, but I hope to get back into it next year. You can do it!
ADAM - You'll be amazed how fast the weight goes once you start a running routine. Try at least 3 times a week , the slowly graduate to 4+. Do intervolts of running and walking to begin, then graduate to longer running stretches. After 10 days it will be a habit!
Hi Adam!! Thanks for your dedication and for sharing your fitness and health journey. You’re inspiring!! I’m overweight and have found HOKA running shoes are the best support for feet, knees & my back. I don’t run or jog but for brisk walking they’ve been amazing. I didn’t have the same results with on clouds. I wanted to love them but no luck. Just a suggestion for ya. Also looking forward to your travel MLB vlogs!!!! Have a blessed weekend 😊
I am 50 now. I run 11 miles a day from 3:00am till 5:00 am daily before work. I started 2 years ago but during the first few months I barely did 4 miles a day. I have lost 100 lbs but decided to gain 20 back because I felt too weak. I am at 145lbs today . Only negative my knees are both damaged
That is amazing how far you jogged. protect your knees. I used to jog but kept tripping because sprain my right ankle 3 times then broke the same foot.Now indoor walking. Have a great day😊
I started running again in my late 40’s. One of the the greatest tips I received was when you start out running focus on an object, looking straight at it whether that’s a tree a sign and then just keep focusing on that and when you get past that obstacle then focus on the next thing it’ll help you to focus your breathing while you’re running, you’re doing great Adam at our age we got to keep moving
@@TheDailyWoolook into Jeff Galloway, he made the run walk run method famous. Any walk segment over 30 seconds doesn’t provide value though. Start run 30, walk 30, run 30, on repeat. You’d be surprised how fast you can run a race with walking. I run 90, walk 30, run 90, and run a sub 2 hour Half marathon, 9:00 minute pace…with walking! Happy to chat about it offline sometime
You’re gonna do this Adam! It’s always intimidating at first but that first 5k is always the biggest hurdle. Once you’ve got that you’re golden. You’re doing great!!
I’ve been there and yes, it is an awakening. I started by fast walking with a goal of 15 min/mile for 4 miles… took me several weeks to achieve that as the first time I did it I was at about 17 min avg. Once I hit 15, I started to jog about a block, then fast walked until heart rate went back down then jogged again. Eventually, I was able to jog longer periods more often. I have a bad knee so I find it difficult to jog but fast walking still seems to do the trick. Keep it up!!! Definitely recommend the walking jogging but try walking fast instead as more fast walking and less jogging is better than jogging a bit and walking slowly and probably better than the treadmill as I find that boring. Look forward to seeing you progress.
Hey I think it's great what you're doing. I'm giving unsolicited advice so I apologize in advance. You may have already considered this. And of course I don't know your reasons for wanting to run. However walking is much better for your body especially after years of not being in shape. It's less strenuous on the spine and joints. And you still get a lot of benefits from it. I mean a lot. With running you don't get as much muscle balance as you do with walking. Also check out the ketogenic diet and carnivore. I had years of pain that was undiagnosed. The doctor kept insisting that the slight scoliosis I had could not be to blame for all of the pain I was having. Turns out they were right. I had chronic inflammation. Carbs and sugar. a few months on keto my triglycerides went way down, they were nearly 300! Also I no longer had to wear my crocs around the house because my foot pain was gone. Back pain? Completely cured. Also I lost 40 pounds in just under one year. At first I lost weight very quickly because it was inflammation. About 14 pounds. That explains why I had so much pain. Anyway the point is it's not easy getting older and feeling out of shape. I'm 54 and I'm doing much better but I still need to lose about 30 pounds.due to vacations and other things I stopped eating keto and some of my problems have returned but thankfully not as bad as they were. I just decided to start eating ketogenic again to keep those problems from coming back. Good luck to you!
You can do it Adam. I find that using an eliptical is better than running for me. Less impact on your ...everything. Same general movements. Great cardio. Could be a nice stepping stone.
Love your content! Also wanted to share: There are quite a few books published on the mental and social disorders of trolls & keyboard warriors who stalk content creators. Turns out they are the true “stans” of social media content providers.
Today's vlog would make for a great Dark Ride basically trying to run through a series of sets depicting celebration and in every single room, somebody with a leaf blower chases you.
Enjoy the videos, watch every day. These next few months will be an inspiration to many. Slow pace to get body ready. Good luck to you, waiting for Saturday morning video
Woah my man. Please don't jump into something like this before getting checked out by a physician. Really. You have not really been kind to your body over the past years. Since your BMI is probably not ideal, you might undiagnosed sleep apnea which can wreck your heart and other organs. We don't want you to stroke out or drop while while you train. Also, with your height and weight, you can do severe damage to your joints. Not good to have damaged joints going into your 50s and beyond. I hope like minded fans here will back the health advice and concern that's being shared. The people that tell you to just push through are not doing you any service.
When I turned 50 in September 2022 (approx 20 years truck driving), my cholesterol, A1C, and blood pressure were high. Changing my diet with my physician's assistance (including hypertension meds), I lost 65lbs and all those numbers are now normal. No, you do not have to give up your "piping hot caffeinated beverage", just take it black (nothing added) and make sure your sugars are less than 75% of RDA. Same with sodium (aka salt). You'll see those lbs melt away! And I walk around 3-5 miles per week.
@@toddsimpson9164yep same! I went from 185 back to 165 in 3 months simply by intermittent fasting and drinking coffee in morning with a banana until lunch time, light lunch and chipotle bowls for dinner. Stopped eating like I did during the pandemic. Targeted 1650 cals a day plus 10k steps daily (easier done w a dog). But definitely agree it’s important to ease into it!
@@toddsimpson9164 I was pushing 300 about 10 years ago, got down to 145 and was underweight. Then got up to 180-185 and stayed there for about 6 years. But the past 2 years I've gone up to 205.
I’m horrible at cross country and track and field. I’m just bad at running the entire time. The run/walk/run method is my preferred method of cardio for me.
Adam...as a 55 year old...just walk fast...and over time push yourself to walk as fast as you can consistently and then you can easy transition to the run!
Oh Adam! How pleased I am to see this! You are not only going to benefit in so many ways, you are being a positive influence on so many. It is quite moving for me to see you loving yourself in this most important way. Happy. Have fun! Enjoy. 🥲👏🏻💝
I just turned 43 and I can definitely relate. I have put on some weight and it is making a big difference in my lifestyle. I am planning to jog this weekend and I anticipate the same feeling as you
It's rough at first but you can build your cardio and strength. Some good advice posted here, i say definitely don't stress your pace right now, walk / jog intervals as you can, you have several mobths to train and get accustomed. Very proud of you, kerp eorking hard to achieve your goals
