Answers:
Start walking 5 km/day......increase distance to 8+ km.. Then use ankle weights on your walks (starting again at 5km and moving up)......this is to increase cardio conditioning to prepare you for running.. It seems cardio is the only answer here.. Start slowly and build up over time..
As for pull-ups, start doing lat pulldowns, deltoid extensions (weights in each hand and extend them away from your body to shoulder height) and work on bicep curls/exercises.. Pull-ups are almost all back except for some bicep involvement.. So no, benching is of limited use for this exerciseHealth Question & Answer

if you can only 1 pull up.. You should do pull ups for a hour.. that should leave you sore for a couple of days.. after you recover do a hour of pull ups again.. let your muscles heal.. Resiliency is the key.. Then you will increase your pull up amount.. Your body will get use to pull ups and you'll be able to do more..Health Question & Answer
