Learn a series of GPP exercises that can be practice indoors at home before running. This is a way to strengthen your muscles to prepare your body for running and avoid injuries. We're going to look at 4 types of exercises: the plank, pushups, half squats and the wall-sit.
For starters, select a non-slippery surface and wear running shoes for better comfort. Start with a 3-minute warm-up set by slow jogging on the spot by lifting your legs to knee height and swing your arms at an easy pace. Lean slightly forward and try to land on the balls of your feet.

This is a good running exercise to get your heart pump faster. Start with a slow run-up and down the stairs for 1-2 times, once you get the flow slowly increase your pace and run up the stairs and while coming walk down the stairs, do this for 5-7 times.
First, plan a route through your home. Even if you don't like the idea of running in place you can still practice your run. Plan it in such a way that it allows you to move from room to room without any hindrance. To make it a bit challenging, you can connect it with stair running.
If there is a good space in your backyard, you can jog from one end to the other end with minimal rest for frequent runners and beginner runners can take small breaks or walk for 45 seconds and again resume jogging. You can repeat it 10 - 12 times depending on your backyard space.
To do all this, make sure you wear a reliable pair of running shoes that offer good grip and support.
