Walking

There is nothing peaceful and quite like breathing fresh air and, if we have any chance, we should get outside. If you are new to running, try a brisk walk and jog for 5 minutes on and off. Build up slowly. Try to walk in your corridors or on your terrace rather than going to public parks or grounds.
