That's how my wife and I started, we just walked around the block. Looking back I am amazed at how much effort it took just to do that 5 years ago.

Now I am do interval training, running for 1 min, walking for 2 min and repeating the process. Burns a ton of calories in 30 min.

I did tobada for a while (three minute jog, then eight intervals of thirty second balls-to-the-wall sprints followed by ninety seconds of jogging and then three minutes of jogging at the end). It was hell, but I got incredibly fast results from it.

I stopped because between that, my boxing, and my long distance running, it was just too much. I may start it up again this Spring and not run long distance quite as often (focusing on longer runs less often).
