Tried walking for the first time and it nearly killed me

So I’m a pretty overweight guy and super sedentary i spend most of my day sitting. I decided to start walking to change that a bit.

So today I woke up early, feeling motivated, put on my running shoes and went for a walk. At some point a guy ran past me and I got inspired, so I started running too…

Well, about 10 seconds in I was completely out of breath and my heart was racing like crazy. I genuinely thought I was going to die and had to sit down on the ground. After a few minutes I managed to catch my breath and calm down, then went back home with my confidence pretty much destroyed. :))
