Ok so week 2 of C25K and starting level 2 of shred.
Took a few days off due to shine splints and cut heels(new shoes)
How is everyone finding level 2 of shred?0 -
The lifting the hands in a V shape was probably the worst part of Level 2 for me, I found it really hard to keep going!0

Glad I'm not the only one. I didn't wanna think I was just wimpy. lol0

I really need to get a HRM:laugh: I am about to head out the door to do my first day week 1 C2K and I'm wondering how I'll figure out my calories, I looked at the Walmart thing but it doesn't have anything I noticed I can use, and I looked at the excercise's on here and there are alot of options but how do you know which one is the right one to choose? I don't want to give myself too much credit, but I also don't want to not give myself enough :laugh: Any suggestions?
Do you have a smartphone? I used a C25k app and it calculated calories burned based on my run pace, walk pace, and weight. It also provided me with a map of my route in the end which was a lot of fun--especially when it got longer!
What is the app called? I'd love something like that!0 -
How's c25k going for everyone? Tomorrow's wk3 d3 for me..I'm enjoying week 3. When I was in week 1, I looked ahead and laughed at the idea of running for a full 3 minutes, but it's not horrible; I can run a whole lap around the track. In a sadistic sort of way, I'm looking forward to week 4; I'm ready (well, in my mind, at least) for 5 and 8 minute runs. I'm sure that'll change when it comes time to do them, though. :laugh: I'm still soooooo slow. I'm not even attempting to gain speed at this point, though. Anyone else feel like a snail?0

Just finished W2D3!! My podcast cut out at the end so I had no idea where I was in my last 90 sec run but I just kept going until I couldn't do it any more.
Yes, I do feel like a snail but a snail that runs! LOL I am slow and steady but from what I read that's okay. We will have plenty of time to build up speed.
I am a little nervous about W3. To be honest, I never, EVER thought I would be running at my weight (currently 225).
What do you do, if anything, on your 'rest' day? I have been walking or doing the elliptical.0 -

Don't be worried about week 3. Today is my w3d3 and it's not too bad; especially since you run for exactly as long as you walk. On rest days I do 30DS and sometimes I go for a walk.

Hi everyone.
Glad to see you are all doing well. I have been feeling so tired the last few days as i have not been exercising like really tired nearly falling asleep standing up lol.
So it is back to shred today and C25k in the morning. I have also joined up to two more courses of zumba so will be doing them monday and wednesday nights.
Does anyone feel there body changing? I have more people told me i look like i have lost weight since i started shred & c25k than since starting my whole weight loss.
So is level 2 that hard? I am scared!!!!!!!!!0 -

So, I have no clue how to post pictures on a message board, but I did add some new ones to my profile. The obligatory "before" (my college graduation; 260 pounds) and a couple of new "during" pics. I took them yesterday right before I went running. (Maroon shirt..205, baby!)0

I've got 4 more days of level 2, and I'm starting wk4 on Monday! Where's everyone else?0

I did W2D1 of C25K today..I have to say i was pleased with myself i thought i would be back to the start after having a few days breaks but i did it. I was sunny so i could not complain. Anyone have the cool running app? I ran today(Sunday) and it is telling me my next run should be Thursday. Why is this?
What does everyone think of when they are running?
I seem to think of how lucky i am to be able to do this....lucky to have my boyfriend beside me supporting me all the way when i know this is easy to him and he only does it for me...How when i lose weight this time i am going to keep it off and when i get to my goal weight i am going to stay there not keep telling myself i have loads more to lose...how much better i feel about myself.
Level 2 Day 11 of shred DONE.
I have to say i liked it i was getting bored of level 1. At first i was jumping into level 1 moves without thinking. Hehe.
Well done to everyone you are all killing it0 -

I have to say i will the cool running app,i can listen to my own music when it is time to run/walk the nice lady lowers my music and tells me to run then it goes back up again lol.
I bet your bf would be super happy to know you are checking him out when you are running.
Level 2 Day 12 shred DONE. I have to say i felt like i knew what i was doing today. I am not a fan of the walking planks/push ups.
I can do sit ups all day but push ups hell no.
How is everyones day?0 -
Congrats! You were our 100th post!! Lol. Today's good so far, sorta. Now that I don't have a/c, I normally shred early while it's still "cool" in the house (like 87), but it never got that low. I woke up at 7 this morning and it was 90. However, I'm starting week 4 of c25k tonight (in about an hour!) so I'm not too torn up about it. I don't mind walk out planks, but I HAAAATE those V squats. I have to switch to my 3 lb weights (I usually use 5 lb). Also, oblique twists aren't fun, but they're getting easier. Omg how about the very last ab routine? The plank twists? SO HARD! I like them, though.0
