Well I would love to do running, but I get stomach cramps pretty well. Is it healthy to push yourself like that? To run with the massive cramp in my stomach? While I'm running I'm not as tired as when I stop. And when I stop I'm exhausted.

yeah, if your not in good shape you will get cramps. Also if you eat too much before you run or if you dont eat at all before you run. Buy some power bars and eat one like 45 minutes before you go for a run.

They should go away as you get into better shape.

i dont think there is anyway for someone to continue running through that pain either, i certianly have to stop iof it happens

its believed to be spasms of the diaphragm. u have to control deep breathing better and take it a bit easier as it happens.

On inhalation, we take air into the lungs, pressing the diaphragm downward. When we exhale, the diaphragm moves up. If the body has some trapped air/gas below the diaphragm, if we've eaten too close to exercise, or if we start exercising too vigorously, the diaphragm may cramp, causing pain under the rib cage on the right side.

you can also try rollerblading instead of running, or swimming is good if you hate sweating and stinky laundry.

you just want to get your heart rate in the range of 140-160 for while, lets say 15-30 minutes per day non-stop. I think you might want to try out an easy start on say... an elliptical and once you get some habit going, jog a mile every other day. When things become somewhat comfortable, increase your workload. You probably want to buy a heart rate watch to monitor your heart rate too. Mine costed $50 but ive seen them at 30 at sports authority.
Oh and for that cramping, Ive heard that potassium prevents it for the most part (something like it aids in muscle function). Look for bananas, pomegrants, kiwis, and some protein bars might have some.

are you joking lol.. muscle burn doesn't mean you're actually burning your muscles away ... it just describes the feeling of your muscles being torn or whatever which is how they grow.. they get ripped and torn from working out then repair themselves stronger than before
