Tried this with some friends, and no one seems to be wanting to get or stay fit!

I'm basically in pretty dull shape right now, not obese or anything, just want to be able to run for longer than a minute or play sports without getting winded! I want to basically work on my cardio and stamina, as well as overall shape.

I am extremely well versed in losing weight without going on stupid diets, so I know how to get and stay in an optimal weight range, but things like running is something I want to train for and also do a bit of anaerobic workouts to get some muscle toning going, etc. My goal is to be able to eventually run 2-3 km's regularly.

I'm wondering, is there anyone out there that wants to join me in getting to a better level of fitness?

I have been off of this type of activity for the past 6-7 years, so I want to start slow and work my way up from there. I would want to start with brisk walks in the beginning and slowly pick it up from there (I can run for about a minute right now before I start feeling like shit so I need some work, lol)!

So if anyone out there wants to explore the possibility of doing this together, let me know and we can discuss what our goals and abilities are and take it from there!

By the way, I'm new to the board so just a bit about me so people don't get creeped out:

I'm a male in my late 20's, live in the Derry/Thomson area. I'm a working film and television industry professional and I'm married and have a beautiful newborn baby girl!

im down with that... PM if youre serious and we can chat/set something up.

my training methodology is Crossfit based, without the olympic lifting for the time being. I am working on buying that equipment as we speak...

I workout in my garage... which sounds kinda ghetto when I say it out loud, but I have everything I need... for the most part.
