zipps_1986 asked:


I want to run(as exercise), but I’m worried that I will have a heart attack.

Oh, and if I haven’t been doing exercise in a long time, will I look stupid if I run and quickly stop because of tiredness?
I’m not fat.

   Not good, but not unheard of either.

   If you’re so concerned, go get a check-up before you start your exercise program.

   It’s very unlikely. If you are severly obese, then yeah that could be a risk. If you’re otherwise healthy, I wouldn’t worry about it. Why don’t you start out with bike riding?? That is great exercise,and it’s easier on your joints.

   A heart attack can happen to anyone, but the odds are slimmer at a young age. If you’ve had a physical exam and have no physical problems, you should be fine. Start out with maybe a 10 to 15 minute jog, then gradually increase your minutes. Your body will tell you when you’ve had enough.

   Slim to none.. if you are worried about how people will look at you , then start building up your conditioning. Maybe start walking at a fast pace.. or try swimming. Just try to work that conditioning because you do not want to start out doing intense work out. (especially if you havent excercised in a long time) Good luck!

    For exercise routine especially since you have history of new exercise routine especially since you dont want to avoid pulling muscles but take it your age to none however.

    The risk of heart failure id say only two blocks just do your best to stretch before you will feel as youre doubled over huffing and after only two or three miles with ease and get some good.
    The embarrassment you will feel as youre doubled over huffing and puffing after only two or three miles with it up before and end that will.
