Try the elliptical machine, I couldn’t run whatsoever and so I did the elliptical machine everyday, then one day at the gym they were all full so I hoped on a tredmill and I couldn’t believe how much I could run…. elliptical wont make you winded and tired as fast as running, but it burns almost the same amount of calories and is really good for your legs

i’m afraid life isn’t as easy as you want it to be. i was just like you when i started boxing. i couldn’t even do pressups and i was lagging behind when everone went out for a jog. but i’ve been going for about 6 months now and everytime i just try my hardest and am one of the fittest there. don’t worry, with time, you’ll get fitter and fitter, just make sure you put effort into it.

First of all, WELL DONE!!!!!! I am like you, considered overweight but am actually very muscley.
I would suggest starting slow, you can try a military pace for “running” (jog 30, walk 30 steps) but as well as that try at home aerobics dvds (I suspect you’d love the tae bo ones)
just 30-40 mins of aerobics exercise on top of what you do a day will increase your stamina and get you jogging a dream :)
good luck
