I'm on week 3, and I've tried to do it every other day.0 -

Yes, the program is designed for 3 times week, with days off to allow for recovery. You might want to consider starting at a later stage of the program if the first few weeks are too easy for you.0

Do it as often as you want to. if youn feel you can, then why not???0

Thank u! I wouldnt say its to easy i sweat up a storm, and burn just as much as a jillian michaels dvd! Love it! And its so peaceful!0 -
It's important to allow your muscles time to repair so 3 times a week is plenty. You could try another exerceis on the off days such as the 100 pushups programme.0

I have literally just got off the treadmill after doing second session of week 3.
The first week, I did feel like I could do it every day, but yesterday my hamstrings were a bit sore and I couldn't have done it again.0 -

I do the couch to 5k program every other day I'm suppose to start the first day of the third week and I don't know if my body especially my hamstrings are going to let me do it.0

I only do it Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I weight lift and work on abs on the off days. Today is Day 3 of Week 6. 22 min. Good luck!0

I do it three times a week, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. I am on Week 7 and did Day 2 last night. It's really important to take a rest day in between to allow your body to recover.0
