Newbie Workout:
Every single person on this earth is different.
"Well duh, Lilly. Of course they are!" ...that is probably what you're thinking right now.
But since every person is different and has a different way of living, one running schedule or training plan will not be sufficient for all people. Whether your goal is to loose weight or to train for an upcoming race (where you will show your friends who's boss!), my goal is to help you to enjoy your running experience.
Before you read any of the workouts below, please read the article from this link. Running 101: A Beginner's Guide
This article covers aspects I didn't even think about discussing, such as dealing with side stitches.
A negative aspect of this article is that it can overwhelm someone who is oblivious to the running world. Running is very low maintenance. You do not have to own the nicest pair of shoes and use a fancy heart monitor. (I do recommend a running watch/ stopwatch. Mine was $10 at Walmart) If you begin to invest a lot of time in running and you WANT the nicest equipment, then go right ahead my friend! But my favorite thing about running is I don't have to think or try... I just have to do!

I found these workouts on Google. If you don't like these, then find one you do! You can also mix a match until you find your rhythm! Find what you can accomplish and what is enjoyable.
It is also beneficial to add core work onto your running routine. Basic exercises to start with are:
~Sit ups
~Push-ups (make 'em girly if you have to!)
~Planks
~Calf raises
~Russian Twists
~Wall sits
