Everyone knows health benefits of running and our 24 week cardio workout program will get you off the couch and running in no time at all. This is an excellent program for a beginner runner who is trying to increase their amount cardio exercise or running to lose weight.

In our beginners cardio workout, you'll spend the first three weeks walking. This should be a brisk walk so that you get your heart rate up, your breathing heavy and even sweating a little. You want to get your body use to exercising so that you can build up to running.

Over the next three weeks, we add an extra five-minute run for each week. Slowly building up your endurance training. The amount of running gradually increases and the amount of walking decreases over time and by week 16 you're up to two thirty-minute runs.

The most comman mistake that beginners make is to run to fast. To get a sense of pace, you should use the "Talk" test. While you run you should be able to easily maintain a conversation in complete sentenses. You can sing while you run to test that you're running at the correct pace.
