Holly got me started, in the last 18 months Ive lost over 100lbs so far and Im not done. When I started I couldn't even run 1/10th of a mile without walking. Now I average 4 miles a day and Ive run a half marathon. Trust TRE, they are amazing.

I’ve literally been crying for an hour. Feeling lonely and depressed, wishing I could loose the weight I’ve gained. I’m only 30 and every time I try to go to the gym something happens and knocks me off track. Last time I tried running I injured my knee and kept me from going to the gym almost a month. 😢 but I open my feed tonight and finally a video to help me overcome this. Thanks so much. People don’t understand how hard it can be to get your life back after becoming overweight.

The doggie just rolling around in the back lmao love it!

The dog is enjoying his self in the back ground

The thing I love most about these videos is the people in the background. 😂

Off topic. Love her arms😍

When you’re trying to film yourself stretching and people just wander into camera and stand there looking like they have no idea what’s going on.

Wish they actually had people that are 100lbs 50lbs 30lbs over weight so we can see how it works with bodies that look and work like ours

I needed this so much- thank you! One of the biggest struggles of someone who has been fit and healthy and now is obese- is finding a gentle way to begin again without feeling like giving up even before the first time. When you’re obese- you literally feel like you’re trapped in someone else’s body bc in your mind you still remember being able to be active. I’m going to memorize this video.

Where/Why tf was this not recommended two weeks ago wen I was bout die 😂

I'm not even a plus size runner, i do boxing. I just thought to click on this video cause why not and you made this very interesting. I should go run for once in my life. Thanks for sharing this and Yah Bless you to know him in Yashua's name.

I can’t wait to get started on this💪🏻 Thank you Holly ❤️

I LOVE this week format. I’m overweight but not extreme, but the format of this video is awesome. I’ve been working on building in strength training and getting better at stretching after. But I get kind of overwhelmed on all of the workout and stretch options. I really just like someone telling me what to do 😆. Thanks so much for the great work on this video and thank you for sharing this content!

Thank you for this. Learned lots of new exercises. I used to jog when I was already fit, I recently moved and work from home now. I gained a ton of weight. So I feel like I have to start all over again.

Thank you for this video...I will absolutely give this a try!!

If I have a park like this in my neighborhood, I'd be more motivated! Such a cool place 😲

Thank you The Run Experience

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. They have been so helpful. I love to re-watch them to keep myself focused on my goals and proper technique.

Love this video!

The dog 🐕 🥰🤣 thanks for the great video!!! I’ve been super motivated the last 3 weeks. I’ve gained a lot of weight due to personal issues and depression then I said “enough is enough”. I’ve done some damage to my knees because I didn’t realize how heavy I’ve gotten (5’10 195lbs) to start running everyday and that my fitness level isn’t where it used to be. Wish I would of seen this before 🤪 live and learn 💪🏼😘

I'm 32 and weigh 215. My height is 5'4 I use to weigh 240!!!.... intermittent fasting for like a month and a half and I did three and a half days of water fasting afterwards and it literally put me at 215 lbs. And because of that I'm able to work out better because 25 lb of heaviness is no longer there. And no I did not go to the gym the most I did was walk and do the elliptical that's it.. once or twice a week. Be encouraged my goal is to get to 175 and I literally did not hire a trainer ..nor do I pressure myself ...I just fast!! If you don't eat right working out really want help you. DISCIPLINE YOUR APPETITE & FAST AND PRAY. .. NOOOOW I'M WORKING OUT 3 TO 5 DAYS A WEEK.. STILL INTERMITTENT FASTING DAILY ..I water faster biweekly. You'll be surprised at the pink Himalayan sea salt flush have allowed me to have energy by cleansing yourself. Eat CLEAN.

Are you all reading my mind?! 40 pounds heavy. How did I get here... 😤

I just watched this. Thank you bunches!!

Thank you for this video. I'd like to run but I have no idea where to start.

PLEASE DO NOT RUN WHILE YOU ARE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER WEIGHT, WALK AND DO BASIC CARDIO, GIVE LOVE TO YOUR JOINTS!!!♥️

Like the videos but u really need to put heavy people or ova weight people on here.. because wat ur saying is gud but us big people need to actually c big people doin the... Thks 😊😊

Excellent tutorial. Previously I have been a very fit chap but now at 55 and 210lbs need something to get me back on a sensible gradient. I think this will do nicely. By the way this young lady is very fit and has a very athletic body. She also is a great communicator and knows what she is on about. Cheers

Totally off topic, but the harness on Nora there is the best kind! They’re kind of hard to find, but great for your dog, and you!

Just want to add that she is practicing a concept called "hip hinging". KZfaq it if needed as it's critical to stretching the hammies correctly.

The dog is so cuteee. ♥️

Please put together a video for people who are overweight with back injury

Loving the dog 😀😀

I'd like to know where that Beautiful Park is,it looks like wonderful energy for working out .your knees( legs )are my envy glad I found u thanks

Who's dog was that? lol I love how you just kept going without missing a beat. This is my new years resolution, I want to lose weight, I'm sure I'm near 400 lbs and I hate it. I don't get rest when I sleep even though I slept for 10 hours. I have two young children and I want to be around a very long time for them.

This just motivated me, it's been hard and my self esteem is too low. New subbie...thanks

Wow you're awesome!

Whether you should keep your toes straight ahead while squatting depends on the build of your hips. Some people should point their toes outward. There are vids explaining how to easily check how your hips are built. I recommend checking them out.

Congrats to the person shooting hoops on the court in back making a granny shot nothing but net about a minute in!

Great video I will try this and see how it goes after I KZfaq how to do air squats when your are overweight.

I've started doing this video just today. I'm overweight just gave birth 5 months ago, I have had a back surgery but i have been training before my pregnancy so I'm not so couch potatoe, how long must I do this and what do you recomend the next step of training should be? Thanks!!

What park is this? I live in the city and I've been looking for new places to exercise.

My trainer told me never ever to pick up the knees all the way up while doing squats because it creates more pressure on the knee ligaments and it can hurt you if you are not already very flexible and warmed up

hi this is a good routine. I like the exercises and stretches but what about if you already run 3 days a week, how would u modify the schedule to work with running days?

Oh man!! I’m tired just by looking at the video.. I need to start ASAP 🙄

Nice vest

I'm power walking or cycling. I'm 100# overweight, ain't trying to kill my knees, they been thru enough! 😅

Try swimming or cycling as basic Cardio that’s easier on the joints if you are severely overweight

I have lost 55lbs so far with walking and bootcamp. I feel as if I need to add running to bust this plateau I’m stuck on...

I’m 5’6 226lbs just ran 10 miles straight at 12 min mile . Don’t over think it get out there!!!

Nora, needs her own video..

21:47 the granny shot in the background was great, swished that first one. Also I really do appreciate the video

The best exercise to prepare for running is the leg press. If you're struggling, your leg muscles are weak. Do a leg workout program with weights, primarily the leg press, for 6-8 weeks before starting running. Lift heavy 6-8 reps, 4 sets. You're going to build strength, put down new vascularity, and burn out intramuscular fat, all of which are game changers for running. Good luck!

Hello, how do you avoid shin splints?

💪🏼🔥

Things i wished I knew before i screwed my knees years ago; and i wasnt overweight, i was obese

Can we do circuit training everyday ?

Is this program on the app in full? (Or something like it?) I know this video is from 4 years ago.

After a long horrible marriage and painful divorce I topped out at 232 lbs. The stress of trying to make myself comfortable with this weight was killing me. I am an athlete. I run 5-10ks for fun. I played bball, tennis, and ran track. I was used to a body that functioned well, and looked great. At 232 walking was painful. I'm 5'5 with a small bone structure. Although I fell off of my athletic lifestyle, my MENTALITY about fitness NEVER CHANGED. I knew self discipline, diet, training, mental state is EVERYTHING! FOOD AND FITNESS ARE A PORTION OF IT. Getting rid of, GRADUALLY, bad habits will start you on your journey. Fitness requires constant movement. People think you workoit great 6 months and you good. No! Fitness should be part of yourlifestyle ! Currently I tore my shoulder. I still train because it is my HABIT. CREATE NEW HABITS. it starts in the mind. Oh! I also have clinical depression. my weight management is highly difficult. Consistency in working out is difficult. but my mind is geared to move because it's good for me. Get ahead of the negative voices and get moving. Be consistent. You will see results!

Good video Holly, that routine looks like it would be good for beginner runners not just over weight people, I’ve been injury free for 2 years but, have been running around 10 years, do half marathons 3 or 4 a year, noticed in the last few weeks have a groin injury, doesn’t hurt running up hill & on the flat but mainly when I run down hill is sore, what exercises would you recommend to strengthen the hip area core, groin lower & abdomen muscles, thanks

My friend is 67 used to run. She has had both good replaced due to running.

Hey hi HOLLY

Thanks ,great,sometime less is more

These are full workouts for beginners overweight people. I appreciate the effort though.

I wish my dog was that well behaved!!!

How do I deal with soreness? The other day we had a powerwalk of 8 miles (16 min per mile) and the next 1.5 days we were done and super sore. How can I recover faster and get back to running?

Tq mam

I have a lower back problem. Can I still do this?

How do you know if your too heavy to be running ?? I am 197 pounds... 6 “1 ... 24% body fat....

What town is this ?

Is this okay for people with knee pain?

Holly.......l love you 💓👏👌👍😘

Does anyone get unbearably itchy legs whenever you try to run?

I don't think getting heart rate high is such a good idea. You really want to be in Z1 or Z2 for most benefits that are relevant for an overweight person. Which is a conversational pace -- you should be able to talk in full sentences. If you cross above first aerobic threshold (into Z3) what you are getting is your body starts burning more sugars, it starts accumulating lactate which is going to reduce the length of the exercise, will require more recovery (meaning you can't do it every day) and it will also cause more pain and suffering which may reduce participation. My suggestion is to first get comfortable walking long distances. Only once you are comfortable walking for over an hour at a time you should start increasing pace but still you should be at a comfortable conversational pace. Step three is to try to add more than one walk a day, take a morning walk and maybe another walk after your main meal -- it will also help reduce glycemic index of your main meal and help with insulin insensitivity. When you can do two 1h sessions of brisk pace walking, start *converting* some of that walking distance into running. So if you decide to run 2 miles in the morning, remove similar distance from your walk. Why so much walking before you start running? I observed people who never exercised are much more likely to stick to walking and continue walking every day and build a habit of going outside and spending time on exercise. Walking also allows you to build the volume much faster and with much less possibility for injury. For many people it would take years to get to run 10 miles every day but they can get to walking 10 miles a day within a month or two. Another important note is that consistency beats how hard you train. It is so much more important that you can do the exercise every day and build a habit than being able to do a hard training session but not doing it regularly.

Love the video but who else was watching the guy shooting hoops in the background?

my knees pop everytime I do some air squats

I want a running date with coach holly

Don't worry, we're not distracted by those people ❤

The app is only available for Apple iPhone 😠

And not one big person.

This plan is for inactive people, not necessarily overweight! Not every thin person is physically active or fit and I can imagine a lot of overweight folks who wouldn’t make much out of such a basic plan. Weight and fitness should be addressed separately.

It bothered me they couldn't get the ball in the net in the beginning of the video :D

Can we talk about how the person in the back in shooting those hoops?

Nobody sees the granny shot 3 pointers in the background??

She sounds like holly from bojack horsemen

you can do a full video with all rounds lol....beginners get confused fast with this and will tend to give up right away.

Your arms

What about obese?

There aren't enough comments about the dog.

How did KZfaq know I was overweight

Thank for this video.i like you leegs

How to tell if you are overweight. Four sticks of butter is 1 pound. If you are 20 pounds overweight, imagine 20 pounds of butter.

Is that Stephen Curry in the background?

Doggy ... squats got it... doggy ....
