I am currently using a treadmill every other day using the c25k program. Should I be doing something on the off days and if so does anyone have any advice on what to do? Thanks for the help!

    For weight loss? Why don't you take up a weight-lifting program? Resistance training is really important. If you don't have access to weights, Google "Convict Conditioning" or "Body weight exercises." C25K isn't really much exercise...about 30 minutes per session.

    30 minutes per session is 30 minutes more that what I used to do. I have lost 24lbs since Jan 1 by watching what I eat and using the treadmill every other day. Just didn't know what to fill in with on the off days because I dont have access to weights nor do I know the first thing about lifting.

    I second the suggestion for searching for "body weight" exercises. Pushups, squats, lunges, etc. can be a great start to using those muscles on your "off" days.
