I did Week 1, Day 1 of C25K last night. It was GREAT! I must admit that by the third round of running (2 minutes walking/1 minute running X 8 rounds), I was a bit tired. Just when I thought my legs might cave in during the "running part," it was time to walk for 2 minutes. I especially like that I can listen to the music on my phone and an announcer interrupts to say (start walking) and then (start running) -- so I don't have to read anything or try to remember. I must say that this was much easier to learn than country line dancing (don't even ask)? There are 3 sessions in each week, and you are supposed to take a day off in between. I will be doing W1, D2 (Week 1, Day 2) tomorrow after work. ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME! This is a great way to "erase" an calorie overages I might have. :)

    Ok, I am going to be brave and try this. I am so out of shape! I am familiar with it to a very small degree. I did do this once before, well...."do this" means I did it for about 2 weeks. I really need some good cardio and to get in better shape. I can download it on my phone? (iphone) app store?

    Welcome, Annabelle! Please let us know how you feel after your first session. I will be doing W1, D3 (Week 1, Day 3) tomorrow (Saturday). I am so tempted to do it every day to see how far I can push myself, but it is very important to have a day of rest in between each session for muscle repair. I have found that i have a lot of energy after I am done sweating! :) Have fun!

    ooh looks like yours is a bit tougher start than mine is, although i guess we get to the same goal, and it is still 8 mins running and the rest walking with a 5 mins warm up cool down :)

    I just did W1 D1 tonight. I am going to try to do it three days in a row, a rest day, then the next three days.

    Are you sure?? You're supposed to have a rest day between each workout. I actually needed 3!!

    Or are you already used to running?
