Hey guys,

Had a baby 5 months ago & thus far have managed to lose weight without exercise apart from general baby-care & walking everywhere! But I really want to start running - been considering doing the Couch to 5k programme but find it hard to envision having time in the day!

Any mums/dads out there who have kiddies doing the programme? How are you finding it?

    Hi Siobhan,

    I am doing the c25k, and knowing that it only takes approx 28 minutes out of my day, i make sure that the kids are fed and attended to, the family are all doing their own thing, i then get my headphones on and hit the treadmill for my very own 28 minutes.

    Good luck, you will love it, its addictive.

    From all I've read and heard, runnign is one of the most time-efficient forms of exercise. C25K is a brilliant program, and it really works! I don't think there are too many exercise programs that are shorter than 30 minutes, are there?

    I'm not a mom but did complete C25K in Feb. It was the best decision of my life. I love running. Taking time to improve your health and fitness will improve your relationship with your child. Have you thought about a jogging stroller so that your child can go with you?
