I started trying to run now actually. I hate cardio but it looks so good when people can run and it looks effortless. So I have set a 2 month plan for myself now to get on running machine every second day and do 20 minutes of mixed uphill walking and running.
Chat gpt says I will see results in 2 months, so im hoping for it. :) My goal is to be able to run 20 minutes with no walking.
I admittedly dont run very often or very well, but I just did a 5k that I only kind of prepped for, I managed to get to a consistent 7 min/km in about a week and a half of consistent attempts, granted I was walking part of that way, but when the 5k rolled around on Saturday, I did manage to do the first like 1.5 km with no walking. Obviously this isn’t for everyone, but I found for me that I hate treadmills and I hate just running with no direction (even though I will wander aimlessly for hours when I’m walking) so having a set 1km lap that I could use as a baseline was really beneficial to running, and on the day of the 5k having a massive group was quite motivating to try and keep running rather than walk, regardless of how fast or slow.
walking is good but running (upright) is much better. Deadlifts and squats are an absolute hack

Cool :) Yeah I know that feeling of accomplishment, it’s so nice to feel progress like that. I need some goals to accomplish or I’m just not happy. :)
I think you will for sure see results in 2 months! Keep at it :)
Will be fun to see :) Thanks!
