I have put on a lot of weight since last 2 years. I have tried running but I don't know why my nose and my throat starts getting dry . This makes me very uncomfortable. What should i do?

I like walking better

Why a picture of men's legs? Nice article though.

Sapna, you'd be amazed what your body can do even with weak knees. Try a running app like couch to 5k. I know someone with arthritis and many body issues and she runs. I used to hate running in school. I would huff and puff and was one of the last ones. I run 4 miles easily
