Fitness for 50 Days?

Hi! What's the Couch-2-5K?
It's a running plan for beginners (who are on the "couch") and it gives you a plan, with walk/jog intervals, that will eventually get you to the point you can run a 5K/3 miles without stopping. It's really popular because it is a really good, slow-and-steady, introduction to running. There are a variety of C25K programs out there - many of them free. I followed the plan from CoolRunning.com a few years ago and it really worked!
Good luck!!0 -
OIC, thank you. I am 59 years old and have fibro and arthritis, and it's difficult for me to even walk most days. I have a myofascial release program that I'm supposed to be doing with a balance ball and walking. This is my first week at this, so bear with me. I might have to take the challenge for another 50 days after this!! I am combining this with my FlyLady routines, so I will do it! Some days are much harder than others, but with all of you to motivate me, I'll get there! God bless you!0

I just finished w3d3 on my C25K training last night. I start week 4 tomorrow. I am hoping to get through week 4. I have been told that wk 4 is the week most beginners either redo or just quit. I will not quit, but may have to do it over. We will see in one week! :ohwell:0

I've had an issue with one of the muscles in my hip, mainly from running, so I've been pretty much off this week. I also have a chest cold
so I'm on an exercize low at the moment. HOWEVER, I would really like to do some of the classes they offer at my gym, like spinning and strength training. I want to try and do my working out in the morning so that I can't skip it at the end of the day- I can always find a million reasons not to work out at the end of the day! 0 -
I really wish I had someone who could show me what I need to do for strength training but I absolutely cannot afford a trainer. Any good sites you can recommend?
I personally do Jillian Michaels DVDs. I have 3 of her DVDs, she's a crazy woman, but she will make you ache. I have her 40 minute "No More Trouble Zones" and her 20 minute "30 Day Shred" which are both good for strength training. Circuit training is really good because it not only strengthens but burns fat efficiently for the time you work out. Her DVDs can be found just about anywhere, for 20 bucks more or less. Much cheaper than a trainer. She's a beast! Go easy at first, your butt will be sore, haha.0 -
My goal is to work out 50 of the 61 days left in 2012. A one hour workout at least, burning 400 calories. I combine cardio and weights and sometimes do P90X. I'll generally go to the gym before work in the morning, and sometimes I do "two-a-days" and workout with my husband or son in the afternoons.0

Wow - great work already on the weight loss. I like your workout goals! Good luck for the rest of the year!0
