Hi, as a Registered Nurse and an Asthmatic, I have a suggestion. Instead of initially having a goal based on distance- maybe have a goal based on time. For the first few runs set a goal of being able to run for 1 minute non stop- walk for 10-30 seconds- then run again.... Try that for the first few runs- then do a goal of 2 min etc- As you start having better endurance- then set the goal with distance in mind. I find that when people start with distance as a goal first- it can be a little disheartening, and some people (not you), but some then feel like the goal is to out of reach, cause they notice how much endurance is required - and that theirs at that time is too weak- This way the goal isnt length- it is endurance/ strength of lungs building (if that makes sense lol). Then go for length. Also, I just want to say that I love how real you are in these vlogs, and that you are inspiring a lot of people to do better for themselves and that's never a bad thing :o). And I'm sure you'll be running a full mile sooner than you think

[@TheNumanumalover]

The vulnerability in this and the nervous glances u shared with ur man genuinly made me tear up. You two are awesome

[@blondieblu8819]

The way your husband supported you literally made me cry.

[@kermit3622]

Same 😭 Girls get you a husband like Yarman 💕

[@rachaelmiller6506]

Alex please read this!!! I just ran my FIRST 5K two weeks ago at 209lb after a 9 month weight loss journey which started at 274lb in January and I couldn’t run 1000 feet let alone a half mile. YOU WILL DO THIS. Some tips for running as a plus size person: BREATHING. IS. EVERYTHING. In through the nose, out through the mouth. If you can work on your breathing and gain control of it, it will help you TREMENDOUSLY. When I first started running as a plus size girl I was doing all mouth breathing and felt like my lungs were going to explode. It’s vital. It’s not easy to master your breathing while running but it’s a skill you need to learn. Also, couch to 5k is a great app to get started with distance running. And lastly, as a plus size girl, posture is also important while running. Keeping your back straight and upright instead of hunched over improved my stamina and how long I could go before stopping. I hope these help you!! I am proof it is possible.

[@reneesternhagen1872]

I cried during this video. Last month my boyfriend as I started our fitness and weight loss journey (I was rock bottom, 291, and just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes). We’ve both lost 12 lbs, hiking and working out and counting calories. Today, we hiked a mountain that I could only do a mile of a month ago. 6 miles today. I’m so proud of you, and sending you so much love and light. Let’s keep it going!

[@jae1726]

I feel like all women need this reminder that my trainer told me, which really gave me freedom: you don't have to run to be healthy. Running is hard on your joints at any size, and you can get your lungs, heart, and muscles in shape in other ways. Running is popular, but if it doesn't bring you joy, don't do it.If this is what makes Alex feel happy, that's her choice -- but don't put pressure on yourself to exercise in one certain way. Move in ways that make you happy and are sustainable for YOU, and don't feel guilty if running just ain't your thang. 🥰

[@colbyclymer1270]

Yar’s energy is so important for things like this. He is truly a blessing for you. Great job, everyone starts somewhere and you started! You’re amazing!

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

Thank you babe!!! He is my ROCK✨

[@venetianprincess]

Wow, girl you're killing it!! I am tired just watching you. I couldn't make it past a few feet running lol. You have been working your ass off and it's paying off! You look so happy in your health journey. Go you!!

[@Lise91]

You effin go Alex, and go Yar for being so supportive! Thats how it should be always!

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

He’s an angel

[@akire602]

“Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed.”💕

[@nolitasamisoni1240]

“The magic happens outside of your comfort zone” Yessssssss!! There’s so much freedom beyond your comfort zone especially when you stop worrying about what others think/say and just focus on your own progress. You’re inspiring me girl and I’ve honestly been a silent subscriber for a while but you’ve definitely been someone I look up to on a personal level. Love you so much Alex!! Keep on doing you gorgeous!❤️

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

Love you so much!!! That means so so much❤️

[@destinyk3612]

Don’t be scared of those people Alex! I have anxiety also. So I know it’s easier said than done, but. Remember that judgement is truly a confession of character. Some people are judging from their open wounds and not their healed scars. Know the difference. You are so amazing and I am so proud of you. You are dope af and killin it! Oh yeah. Yarmayn is a kick ass husband for being so supportive!

[@genevaloera1835]

I literally got so emotional when you were running and you were unsure if you could do it. I totally understand the anxiety and nervousness of running. I'm so happy you got out there and tried. You've inspired me to do the same 🥰 Yarmen was so calm and lifted you up so well. I'm going to go get some tissue and wipe my eyes now 😅

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

I love you so much 🥺 so proud of you babe!

[@laceycoenen1534]

It would be so cool to see an unedited version of this. That way we could run along with you. It would be like having a running buddy. And getting Yar's encouraging comments would be nice as we try to run/work out.

[@nikoleviegas7962]

Omg yess!! This would be everything!!

[@colleenstrayer2917]

Did anyone else almost start crying when she started running?????? You go girl, you’re going to get there and you’re doing it exactly right.

[@patico11113]

I almost did something really hit me exactly at that moment...✨🥺

[@vanessagerard4713]

Yes omg literal tears coming out of my eyes! Lol

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

Thank you angel🥺🥺

[@tiffanytullock8192]

This made me cry because I am this person. I get so discouraged when I can’t do it. I’m so proud of you for posting this. Thank you for the sheer real-ness of this video. Also, Yar, you the real MVP. 💜

[@Bookswithnanii]

Ok but Yar being the best hype man ever?? Everyone needs a yarman in their life lol. Keep it up girl you’ll be able to run a mile in no time!

[@emilybrittain751]

HE’S SO SUPPORTIVE IM SHOOK what an amazing human being

[@kimbak7178]

Can we all have a Yar to motivate us?? ❤️ You guys are so sweet to each other 😊

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

🥰❤️🥰❤️

[@clarissamua4753]

Way to go!!! I’ve lost 140+ pounds over the last year and fell in love with running in March! You can do this!!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey and your truth! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️

[@amberfox7164]

People don’t understand the vulnerability of putting yourself online in this kind of way, unless they’ve done it. As a fellow plus sized woman, who USED to be a runner & an athlete, I feel this. I cried watching you do this because I needed to see it. You have inspired me in a way no one else could. So thank you for being vulnerable with us, despite any haters that might say negative things. People like me appreciate you.

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

That means a lot 🤍

[@erikalynnxoxox5939]

The way that Yar encourages her though is EVERYTHING. Yes. That's a great husband right there.

[@firedxupp]

I watched this with subtitles on, and it interpreted the cars passing as applause. Love this 👏🏻

[@brittany9705]

Wow I started crying when Yar started saying “you got this” “just keep going”. Alex you are so inspiring. I’m a plus size girl and I always feel self conscious working out in front of people. I love everything about this video. Thank you for doing what you do. I’m sure others appreciate your fearlessness and inspiration as much as I do.

[@SnowyOwl1588]

You’re doing great girlie. I love how your man is your biggest cheerleader. That’s how it should be in relationships. Encourage and love.

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

He really is the best ever🥰

[@melissamantz6743]

My 4 year old is watching this with me and she said “look at her style! She is so cute, she is so beautiful!” 🥰

[@ericajuan7042]

Not going to lie... literally got emotional watching you run with your husband cheering you on!! May God continue to bless you on this beautiful journey!! We are all cheering you on girl!! ❤️🔥

[@noj3896]

We need more Yarman's in this world! Love how supportive and encouraging he is. Awesome job, Alex!

[@bethleon7006]

Quote: Allow yourself to be a beginner, no one starts out being excellent. This was amazing! You are amazing! This video made my day. I’m working on myself too and I love watching your progress as I go through mine too. You are an inspiration!

[@theposters]

I’ve been watching your channel since 2014, and this is the first time in a REALLY LONG TIME that I felt like you were 100% honest and I LOVED IT. Yarmayn is so supportive, and I’m so glad to see that your genuine happiness is shining through to the outside. Great job!

[@TheMrsBeagle]

YES!!! I'm a late bloomer athlete who only discovered running in my thirties and now it's my therapy. Don't worry about being fast. Just keep moving. Walk when you need. And one day it clicks and you get that first "high" and it's beautiful ❤️

[@TiffanyShanicee]

So inspirational! You are the reason I started my journey I’ve lost 12lbs so far and one of my long term fitness goals is to be able to run a mile nonstop. I loved the way Yarmayn encouraged you while you were out there as well. It’s so awesome to have someone who supports you regardless. Eventually that half mile will be a breeze for you and you’ll be able to look back on this and see how far you’ve come!! Keep at it girl, you don’t know how many of us you’re inspiring❤️

[@Goose378]

SO proud of you. I know how hard this is, and what counts is the effort you're putting forward!

[@cassandramcculley5985]

Wait, why am I crying? Your form is awesome, your husband's ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT was AMAZING. He didn't tell you/force you to keep going, he told you to do what makes you comfortable and encouraged you either way?? I'm crying. You're both amazing. Way to frickin go, girl.

[@lindseyquinn_]

Now this is an installment of the Fearless Series if you ask me! Look at you girl! You have been pushing yourself and it has been paying off in spades. I'm so happy for you and proud of you. It's amazing what you can do when you have the unconditional support of a loved one. In this case, Yarmayn. I truly believe his unwavering support has been the difference in this being a lasting lifestyle for you. Look how far you've come in 3 years! It's amazing to watch and you should be nothing but proud girl.

[@jessicaartz489]

I'm 44 and you inspire me! I have always taken care of others and now I'm trying to take care of me. I feel like quitting when I don't do as good as I think I should. I love your honestly in all you do and share. Thank you so much for keeping me inspired!

[@Kristlelynn96]

I love this video so much. I'm currently trying to get back into the gym but the thought of people looking at me gives me terrible anxiety. But who cares?? Im there for me, not them!!! Tomorrow, im going to try and run on the treadmill thanks to you, Alex. Love you and your videos so much

[@sergiopacheco2939]

How you've been doing?

[@melwhitworth3077]

YESSSS.... I’m proud of you. I’m a walker. I cannot run. Bad back and knees all the things never thought I’d walk properly again after last injury. But never give up. I never stopped even when people told me otherwise. But girl I’m proud of you. And your hubby way to go man. You just encouraged her. I’m inspired by you for that. Can’t wait to see where you go in your new journey. Be brave. Be bold. Be you.

[@nadinemontejano5734]

Awww whenever I see a Plus guy or woman at the gym or running I cheer for them because that’s awsome! They’re trying to better themselves and the people who bully them are just a bunch of A-holes. And I LOVE your outfit and the color!!! Don’t be embarrassed!!! You’re doing it for YOU!

[@mrsfunkyrolln1048]

You did great! Im 58 yrs old and plus size and changing my life style for a better and healthier me. You give me so much encouragement to keep pushing forward. I have two beautiful granddaughters and want to be around for a long time. I love the way Yarmsn supports you, you guys are so cute! 😊. Thank you for sharing your journey 😊

[@karinarobles2136]

THE 👏🏼 WAY 👏🏼 YOUR👏🏼 HUSBAND👏🏼 SUPPORTS 👏🏼 YOU👏🏼 You did amazing and so did he! 💜

[@christinebroom8516]

The way Yar was helping you and comforting you almost made me cry!! He is truly a keeper. Oh man. Every girl needs a guy like that. Thanks for being so vulnerable I know this probably wasn’t easy to post. Your content is always 100%! 💕💕💕💕

[@digsbeauty8903]

“the magic happens outside of your comfort zone” ❤️ needed that.

[@maceyhrechkosy4417]

I'm already gushing at how cute and supportive your husband is. He loves you so much. I love this

[@africagonzalez58]

WOW!!!!! I can see a drastic change in your body. I haven't seen you in a while I have been so busy with the kids school and other stuff, but a few minutes ago I was cooking and saw the notification I tell you this I am very proud of you! You look amazing like wow!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍 Keep it up!

[@ashleypr156]

Girl, you are doing amazing! I was run/walking half marathons before I could straight up run a full mile nonstop. A couple injuries and about 3 years later I’m finally starting to get back into it. You really are an inspiration. Thank you for posting your journey! 💕

[@erineberhard]

Your amazing . And im so glad to see you found Yar. He honestly brings out the best in you.

[@meljoy131]

I'm a runner and anytime I see a plus-sized person in a race or even running on the street, I am inspired! Keep up the great work! You'll never get to where you want to be without plugging through the unpleasant parts.

[@kansasgirl8371]

Proud of you! You're doing great and are looking healthier and stronger every week. Take good care of that hubby of yours. He's a real man with strong character and kindness.

[@livsbookishnook]

Yar is Husband of the year!!! Alex you’re a lucky woman, he is by your side in this I’m literally tearing up. Running can be scary and I tend to feel kinda dumb. But this inspired me! I love you guys!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@PaigelovesDan4]

Yar's support and calm attitude in this gave me all the feels. Plus, you inspire me to do more.

[@sunnysmilesxo]

Alex, incorporating 1-2 minute bursts of running into your walk/workout is SO good for your cardiovascular health. And over time the bursts of running will become easier/longer naturally. When I used to go to Orange Theory, they make you do 20 minutes of cardio - and that can be walking, running/jogging, biking, or elliptical. And they specifically teach you to go at your "comfortable pace" for a couple of minutes, then "push pace" for 1-2 minutes, then "all out pace" for 30 sec or so. This kind of interval training is good for your heart & cardiovascular system. So keep it up with the walk/jog/run intervals!! This is awesome!

[@143FL]

You are doing a fantastic job and this is such an inspiration to those of us who are trying to do this as well . It takes work step by step. Thank you for doing this and giving us a boost of confidence to go try it and keep trying because the more we do the more we accomplish ❤️❤️❤️

[@heathermelcher9268]

Girl I see a HUGE difference in your body! You are KILLING IT. You are pushing your self and that’s all that matters! You inspire me ❤️

[@mariafechter4586]

Yeah I am still kind of scared of working out at the gym because of the fear of being judged.Also I just want to say thank you for being such and inspiration your videos do help me make more confident in myself.Also proud of you ❤️

[@vanessacevallos5803]

I'm so proud of you, Alex! I low key got emotional watching this video. Your courage and ability to be so transparent with your viewers in order to inspire them to challenge themselves is so beautiful. I love you, mama! 😘 I also loved how supportive Yar was. My God...you guys are awesome! Sending you my love and support! 🙋🏻‍♀️💕🙏🏼

[@christineg6123]

0.5 mile is 0.8km. Like damn you trying to run almost a full km???? Damn girl wtg!!!!! So happy for your progress 😊

[@kimberlye528]

My One year anniversary for my health journey is tomorrow. I decided after losing my Dad to diabetes that I refuse to go down that road anymore. I was 357lbs pre-diabetic and my A1C was 6.3 A year later, I am 298lbs no longer pre-diabetic and my A1C is 5.7 I have lost 59 lbs. I feel amazing! Still on my health journey. "The only thing I fear, is never trying!" You did great Alex! Great Job!

[@gabriellearena7470]

YAR WAS SO SUPPORTIVE I COULD CRY!!!!🥺❤️ I love following this journey! Keep up the amazing and brave work!!!!

[@nanceOhLicious]

It’s soo sweet how supportive your husband is. Cheering you on and coaching you along the way.

[@MsDmatthews1]

Girl I’m sitting here crying watching you so proud of you!!!

[@angiemac5023]

Yar is the sweetest man on the planet! I am so glad you have the support you deserve! ❤️❤️

[@rebeccamarshman3197]

OMg I'm crying I am so proud of you ! Wow and the beautiful lines developing on your body is unreal and so beautiful , the support you have from your husband is so so wonderful , you are a wonderful person , and have helped me through the quarantine I now work out eat right bake healthier because of you Thank you Alex and Yar xoxoxoxooxoxoxo

[@jhedlich]

Loved this video! I used to run but due to a few ankle injuries I no longer can. Yar's support the entire time made me want to cry, we love a supportive partner! Don't give up on your running journey, it's a struggle but it's so fulfilling. I believe in you! ❤️

[@Livinglifewithkaliyah]

I'm so happy and proud of you. I definitely had to fight back tears when you started to run. You have definitely inspired me. I can't wait until I'm able to run. I have knee pain but as soon as I get some more weight off I'm definitely going to try. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@celiag.2127]

The realness of this video was everything, well done. The key thing is you came out and tried and kept going regardless of things not going exactly the way you wanted. You are a winner.

[@LarynIman]

To be fair I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and I don’t think I could run 1/2 a mile straight 😂 you go girl!

[@joelouden6592]

Don't feel bad. I ran for 30 years and stopped for 10 years. I, too, go to the gym 3-4 days a week. I can now barely run 2 miles at a slow 6 mph, but I'm gasping for air before 1/2 mile and struggle the entire last mile.

[@StandingInMyPower]

You were amazing!!! When I started running it was really hard. I use to bump into a couple of guys and at first they didn’t think I was committed. Then one of them said you can run then walk and sprint. He gave me some advice that starting, walking and sprint would help me burn calories faster. He also said that I would build up endurance in the process. Once we ran into each other consistently they gave me a high five and became my cheerleaders. I lost 80 lbs. This pandemic has made me gain weight again but watching you has given me that fire 🔥 I need. I don’t want to be skinny. I want to be healthy. Yar!!! Dude!!! You are such an amazing husband supporting your lady. So much love for your girl!!! I am loving this journey.

[@sillybraebabe]

I was crying cheering you on from my phone! You are strong! You are fearless! You are amazing!

[@thandobenn1929]

Your husband the best support system ever and just the fact that you are trying is all that matters honestly

[@shelbykleismit5306]

Dude you’re amazing! I’ve never seen you thrive so hard girl ❤️ inspiration

[@kimberlyspence5269]

He is the best supportive and encouraging husband. You did great Alex!

[@bethemmma]

Love Yar for being the supportive man he is! Proud of you Alex! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SuperAshley127]

Yar is so amazing and supportive! So happy and proud of you Alex! I started running for the first time in my life this past spring and I was JUST AS NERVOUS as you I started!

[@angelastar23]

I thought this was a recent video because she looks the same

[@natashakunzler648]

I rarely ever comment on videos but this was wonderful. From a plus size woman, thank you for showing that this process is difficult and being vulnerable. And I'm so happy you've found your own personal cheerleader. 💛

[@littlehouseinthebigwoods9968]

I'm 9 months pregnant hysterically crying.....your man loves you and you are doing amazing. I'd probably cry if I wasn't pregnant but whatever 🥲

[@alyciad2886]

This made me so happy!! Hell yeah to everything you said :) Thanks for continuing others to push their comfort zones and being authentically genuine throughout. The smile on your face when you asked if you should start running again after walking a bit made my day, THAT is what this is about! Amazing!

[@dungeonsanddeadlifts3344]

Rock on. When I was obese and started to try to run my low back would kill. Tbh it still can. My issue is I run soooo upright. A forward lean helps me a lot. If you feel some low back tightness tomorrow, consider your posture the next time...cause I totally know you're not gonna stop. Eventually that muscle burn you mentioned (lactic acid) will begin to decipate. The key is when you feel it creep in, just push for a few seconds longer and then begin your walk intervals. You'll build up a tolerance to it. For me, and all runners (yar would agree) lactic acid is always a thing st some point at the start of a run, but there's a point a couple minutes into feeling it, that once your tolerance is built up you'll be able to push through that feeling and then I promise it goes away. And then you can sink into your pace and enjoy the movement

[@moonspirit2119]

I love the vulnerable look that you give him for reassurance. And he gives you that support. I’m really happy that you’re able to receive this kind of love and give it back. It’s special to witness.

[@thechoiceofnyc3888]

This made me cry ! Glad you went for it !Good job hubby !

[@00mysunrise00]

Alex, your approach to fitness as a plus sized babe is awesome. I really liked how you said you wanna be the healthiest version of yourself and that, for me, is self love. I usually have problems with the majority of other plus sized people who attack you as soon as you mention sports and healthy habits. Yeah, i agree that you should love yourself in every size, but you should also be kind to your body, nurture it and strive to be the healthiest you can be. So good luck on your fitness journey! So proud of you!

[@maricelaperez1214]

You rock Alex, keep going. I know you’ll be able to do it soon, you have been working so hard. You have such an amazing support from the hubby. Can’t wait for next video.

[@SC-fw1lm]

So relatable! Plus sized people are criticized for not working out and also criticized and judged when we do try to work out. Thanks for doing this!

[@beantownzfinest1247]

I got so emotional watching and listening to you before & during your run 😭! Was legit crying & cheering you on! You are so encouraging & are inspiring SOOOO MANY of us to work on our health as well. It isn’t easy & some of us don’t have much in the way of support. So I thank you for sharing your journey honestly, with love, encouragement & with such positive energy!!! The world needs more of that, especially right now😍❤️...

[@redwildflowerheart]

I never leave comments, but am a long time subscriber. I was just really moved by this. The positive message and honesty is wonderful! Thank you for being you! And a shout out to your husband for being so supportive and positive as well!

[@laladoglady]

I'm so sorry you're getting bullied and judged. I hate seeing these hate videos pop up about you. People who are judging you, have something wrong with THEM. I honestly don't know how you do it! You're brave and worthy just as you are. Don't let them get you down. xo

[@amandafumia3782]

Wow!! I got tears in my eyes listening to how motivational and encouraging Yar is to you. I love you guys together. He seems to really make you better an accepts you, for you! You got this, girl. You are inspiring!

[@nike123rocks]

Literally so proud of you omg. You’ve come along way and your growth is nothing short of inspiration. Keep it up you are so much stronger than you think.

[@courtneyjaeger5123]

[@maryvilleda1591]

I love how supportive husband is. Zero negativy. 100percent love and support. Even alone she is amazing the self love is on point. I love your channel

[@ViolinViolaMasterclass]

I “run” for 15 minutes every couple days...1 min run fast, 4 mins walk😄 eventually will shake it up when I’m stronger. Running long distance doesn’t work well for my body...

[@lizziebeggimbo]

You are such an inspiration. I am very overweight now as a result of a disabling leg fracture and complicated healing. I don't even recognise myself in the mirror anymore. Like you, my other half encourages me and loves me as I am and it makes all the difference. You are doing amazing

[@Meghanisms]

I’m literally crying I’m plus size as well always have been u inspire me so much love u 🤎

[@francesca0276]

I seriously cannot stop smiling! I am cheering your on BabyGirl!! You inspire me...ME!! A 44yrs OLD WOMAN! I have gained this this year myself and i have been procrastinating. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I appreciate you! A huge pat on the back goes to Yarman! God bless you always for being a husband that is so present in her life!! Love you both!

[@lindseywyatt8534]

You did amazing!!! Congratulations on your journey so far. You’re only going to get better and better :) I used to be really nervous doing active things in public but I’ve honestly never had a bad interaction, I think we tend to get in our heads and But I always think to myself, what other people think of me is none of my business. Even if someone is laughing at me, honestly who cares. I’m never going to see that person again, and how lame are they that they think a chunky girl working out is funny. Do you boo boo!!

[@AlexandraIreneRodriguez]

YESSS! That’s THE BEST mindset my mom taught me (esp when we did photo shoots in public lol) who cares what these strangers think of you?! You’ll never see them again!! Lol

[@blake43122]

Your husband is amazing. He was soo soo good with keeping you motivated and confident. I love it. You go girl. You got this . You are my inspiration! ❤

[@kerryh4332]

Crying while watching this!!!! Sooo proud of you and your husband was so encouraging 😍😍. Keep it up!!!!! Beautiful ❣️❣️❣️

[@carolehooton8068]

Hello Alex. I have watched your videos for must be 3 years now and have never ever commented. Seeing you run bought tears to my eyes it must have been so hard and I had to say Well done you!! Having Yar to support you must be a great incentive. You are so brave to do this on camera. Well done again. 💕
