whats your day routine? do you have physical activity integrated in this?
have you thought about getting out and about wanting to do something yet? tired of being there where you are in mind body and soul yet? you want to do something about it and fancy a go but dont know what to do or how to do it? how about going out for walk? summers here!

think of just getting yourself outside. a walk to the park nearby if possible. maybe a stroll around 5 blocks if its safe to be in the neighborhood and streets.

warm up with a stretch. stretching is a good way to get muscles warmed up its imperative to not bounce to reach as you stretch. instead go as far as you can mindful of the muscles your stretching. in time you will find balance and stretch further through consistency and effort.

stretching helps me get into a mindset of whats to happen in the upcoming hour...

stretch it out from top to bottom
neck roll for full range of motion
shoulders by winding arms in circles for full range of motion
arms by taking an arm crossing body and using the other arm to hold it across body. do both sides holding the arm for about 15seconds each
arms by taking arm up over your head and taking your hand to the your neck. you should be able to pat yourself just below your neck and feel the stretch of your triceps. do for both sides holding the stretch for about 15 sec each.
back by reaching up into the sky and holding for about 15sec
now spread your feet apart shoulder length and bend over as far you can to reach your feet. you dont have to lock knees but keep legs straight.
quadriceps stretch. stand and balance on a leg using a wall or chair for balance support while stretching your quads. hold 15-20 sec each leg. again dont bounce. focus on balance and the the muscle.
stretching calves. lounge position with a leg forward and the other back. mindful of your posture here. head above shoulders. on your back leg where your pivoting the heel is above the ground slowly balance that heel so you can stretch your calf muscle. again dont bounce and hold the stretch for 15sec. switch and do the same for the other side.

now its time to walk. you have a general layout of your neighborhood. wheres a good place for a walk? there a nearby park? hows traffic in area? safe?

walk technique. heres the challenge to keep mind occupied and where you focus on posture and breaths
shoulders back
head above shoulders
back straight
tummy tight but not tight where your barely breathing. abs should be activated while on this walk but not bad enough to strain you. youll get what im talking about after a week of walking.
your arms should be natural as you step forward then swing back as you take the next step
walk toes going forward in your normal stride

you want to cover distance. go as far as drinking half your water bottle then return. dont drink when youre thristy, thats too late. drink to sustain a level of not thirsty but not drinking too much. youll find it.the balance is the key. after a month of walking try walking nearby for 15min out then returning. pick up the pace in walking for about a month after that. when youre ready, get a pair of good running shoes and start jogging. jog til half the bottle then jog back. later jog out for 15min and back. after doing that for a month, jog and run til half the water bottle for the next month. after that, jog and run for 15min then back. after that month, run that half bottle and 15min thing. after that its gonna be run and sprint...

the 1 month thing is to keep your body from settling to the cardio. go at your pace of course but keep it challenging to yourself otherwise youll find excuses not to cardio. when youre at the comfort of looking forward at the walking, think about what kind of strength training you want to do. at this phase, calisthenics can help build the larger muscles to prep you for weight training.
