Hey /fit/, what stretches would you suggest for those who want to start running, but are a bit overweight? By like 15 pounds.

I know to do the Forward Lunge, Rear Lunge, the bent-leg body-twist, sticking one foot slightly out and reaching for it, some squats, and the single-leg over.

I have a buddy who's in the army, and those are the only things I can remember him doing clearly.

Before running you should be doing dynamic stretches. Things like leg swings etc. Google should provide you with plenty of examples. If you are going to be doing static stretches (i.e. ones where you hold a position for time) then do these after running or on a different day (after warming up slightly). I found that just running made my legs (hamstrings specifically) a lot more flexible even with minimal stretching afterwards, so just give it a go.
