LOL!

I am laughing because I was so huffy and puffy from the begining too!

I started out slowly because I was really overweight, even though I played soccer for nine years.
I ramped my exercise up pretty quickly by pushing myself consistantly by adding incline and speed, but always dropping back down to my start point to let my muscles and my heart recover for a moment, and then I would go right back into pushing it up again.

Another thing that increased my pace quickly, as well as my stamina, was doing wind sprints. For example, walk at 3.7 for five minutes and then at 5:20 ramping up the speed to 4.3 (still walking) for forty seconds and then dropping back to 3.7, keeping that pace for four or five minutes and then back up to 4.3. I incorporated at first three and then pretty quickly, six to eight windsprints per workout and it really helped me increase my pace and the ability to breathe slower and deeper. I ultimately want fat loss, so I want my heart rate to stay pretty stable.

Maybe this will help a bit???

Good luck to you!
