Illuminating Radiance

Start Slow
Don't expect to be 5K-ready as soon as you begin your new running hobby. At the beginning, running for even a minute without stopping can be hard — which can discourage even the most enthusiastic new runner.

Be Prepared
As with any workout, you need the right gear to help you stay comfortable, safe, and happy while you run. Planning for a run takes a little bit of forethought — when to go, what to eat, and what to wear should be part of your daily running checklist.

Invest in Shoes
It's extremely important to find the right running shoes for your body; otherwise you'll be prone to running injuries that will derail even your best intentions.

Prioritize sleep!
It’s challenging to get a full eight hours of sleep when your baby needs you throughout the night. But being sleep deprived will make fat loss harder.

Do it at home!
“Getting slim without the gym” has been my new favorite motto. As you know, there are some days when getting out of the house to exercise is not an option.

Set realistic goals!
When it does come time to get serious about your fat loss, make sure you keep your expectations in check.
