Week 1, the 3 exercises this week are all the same, here we go!

Day 1:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
five-minute cool down walk.

Day 2:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
five-minute cool down walk.

Day 3:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Good luck!! We can do this! If you are having trouble then take it slow and repeat the week if you have to! Remember to put a x on the spreadsheet (or a number if you have to do one multiple times).

    Please post in here as you complete the days for this week, let us know how it went and how you are doing so we can motivate each other.

    I completed day 1 yesterday and it went pretty good and I am looking forward to the up coming weeks.

    I'm a little ahead of you guys but it's so nice to have a support group to finish this app. I've done it before but gave up 1/2 way through it. Anyway, last week I got through Week 1 (on a treadmill) but I was going to re-do Week 1 and increase my speed on the interval laps slightly.

    Day 1 yesterday. I went slow but made sure to completely jog the full 60 secconds, walk the full 90 seconds etc. I haven't ran in, well, I don't remember the last time! Those 60 second intervals seemed to get longer and longer each time LOL

    I have completed the first two days! They both went well. I have completed the Couch to5k program before, but this time I am working to improve my speed!

    I did week 1 day 1 on Sunday evening, with one of my dogs.
    It went well, but I was relieved on the last round. it was a 10 minute walk back home, which was NICE.
    I was thrilled that it was the first time that I got my fitbit flower up to 6 leaves.

    I completed week 1 day 1 on Monday and my ankle started aching the next day. It feels worlds better now but I think my first week is going to stretch out longer than most. I want to make sure it's 100% before I start again.

    Make sure you take it easy! I did C25k in October and had to quit in week 3 due to tendinitis in my ankle.

    Started day 1 today... Waited for my S.O. to join me, because he will provide the motivation to stick it out. Otherwise, I know I would just quit. It was great to have him beside me, suffering with me lol. Although he's got a higher metabolism and a skinny body naturally, he's just as out of shape as I am. That made me feel better about the whole thing!

    Keep going!
