1. Put on your comfortable tennis shoes and comfortable workout clothes and go outside on nice day. Go to the nice, flat concrete surface.
2. If it's your first time running, start out in a slow walk to warm up. You can also stretch out if you want to.
3. Start moving your legs quicker than normal. Also, pick the legs up and stride them to get a larger step. When the leg that has been going up and striding reaches the surface, quickly pick up the next leg and repeat this process.
