Question
Scott
I would like to begin a daily walking program to help lose weight.
I am 50,no health issues but overweight.I have sensitive feet that hurt after about 30 minutes.
I would like to start running but that hurts my knees.
Any advice on technique,apparel,appreciated.

Answer
I obviously can't give you a specific program in this setting, but I can review the main concepts.

First, you need good running shoes from a running specialty store. They can help you find good fitting shoes of high quality to protect your feet and legs.

Starting from wherever you are, you need to gradually build up to a full hour of walking every day. After you can walk comfortably for an hour at a time, you can work on your walking speed with short speed-ups at first and lengthening them later. Only after you have lost some weight should you consider trying some jogging.

Weight loss should be gradual -- no more than 1.5 pounds per week. You do this by a small cut back in food consumption combined with the exercise regimen. You might need to consult a dietitian to develop a healthy eating plan, but please don't fall for any fad or crash diets.

Additional exercises are recommended, such as stretching and some light resistance exercise.

As for apparel, you don't have to buy expensive items, just clothing that doesn't chafe. Some people spend way too much time and money trying to look spiffy while exercising. The idea is to get fit so you can be healthy and look good while doing other activities.
