Couple of questions about exercising....

LilyBugsMommy

1. Does anyone have the instructions on how to complete the C25K and are willing to share them?

2. When I am on the treadmill, it always says my heart rate is in the cardio zone, which is higher than the weight loss zone....is that okay? I am assuming that I am buning fat because I am beyond the weight loss zone.

3. Does anyone know any core exercises? My back gets sore very easily due to past work experience. It even hurts when I use the treadmill and I think that if I strengthen my core muscles then it will feel better.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

re: 3, planks and crunches are great for the core,,,,there are other floor exercises too that will help, I'm thinking you can find picture details if you were to google it, as I am not very good at describing the "how to"

good luck with your journey
