Warm up & Cool down Rountines

Neondragonfly

Hello peeps,

I was wondering what everyone is doing for their warm up and cool down routines.

I'm doing the Couch to 5K Programme (just completed Week 1: Day 1) and it says a 5 mins brisk walk before and after the session. Today I tried to follow a DVD workout for 30 mins. Right now, my legs are absolutely caning. I can barely get through the sitting down/getting up motion.

I don't want this to hinder my return to fitness and exercise as it has done many times in the past (the old me would have quit this morning when she woke up and found painful legs and then complained about it)
