in Fitness and Exercise
I'm finally starting to develop mine. The past two years I've just been walking with light yoga daily, three weeks ago I started the Couch to 5K running program (LOVE IT!) and a week ago I've started pilates with the help of youtuber Blogilates (look her up she has SO many free workouts that are just kickass!)

So right now my schedule is:

Sunday-Blogilates (30 min)
Mon-C25k (30 min)
Tues-Yoga/Blogilates (1 hour all together)
Wed-C25k (30 min)
Thurs-Blogilates (30 min)
Fri-C25k
Sat-rest


Any tips? I'm open to any advice, and I'm also curious as to what you all are doing.

    My advice would be add a resistance training session, it could be bodyweight or with free weights if you can have them.
    Strenght will make your running much easier and should help build muscle - (tonning for the ladies)- i don t know your goals, you want to look good, want to be healthier, or just improve your running...

    Here is the schedule I have currently.

    Mon - Aqua Combo
    Tues - Aqua Cardio
    Wed - Strength Circuit
    Thur - Aqua Cardio
    Fri - Strength Circuit
    Sat- Deep Water - going to try Tai Chi this weekend :)
    Sun- Strength Circuit

    All of the aqua classes are 1 hour and the strength circuits are usually 75-90 minutes depending on what I do. I know it's alot of qater aerobics but that is what I like to do. During that time of the month I change those to a different type of group class but it depends.

    Right now I am doing the stationary bicycle every day because I broke my wrist a month ago and the doctor said to limit my upper body exercise. I am starting physical therapy this week and in August I will be adding a once a week Hip Hop dance session. I'm hoping to join a gym in September and start doing Zumba 3 or 4 times a week.

    After reading the above, i think mine is reallly pathetic. Basically its just

    Monday - 45 to 60 minutes of swimming
    Friday- 45 to 60 minutes of swimming

    Is it too little? I dont have much weight to lose ( around 5 more Ibs to go) and I really dont have the time to workout that often.

    Monday - overhead press + assistance
    Tuesday - deadlifts + assistance
    Thurday - bench press + assistance
    Friday - squats + assistance

    Sometimes i add cardio 1-2 times per week

    Recommendation on your schedule - incorporate strength training 2-3x per week. You're gonna love the way you look and feel.

    Hi
    Just saw your post and had to reply. I've always disliked jogging, but I too am loving couch to 5k. It is great ! I'm also using Gorilla gym which adds the strength and weight training without the need for a gym or expensive equipment. the little videos on ho to do the excercise correctly are clear. another great app for getting in shape.
    good luck

    I am almost finished with a 5K trainer. I have one day left and ran 3.14 miles tonight at a 9.5 min/mile pace. Such an awesome feeling since I've always hated running lol. My work schedule varies so I don't have a set work out schedule but right now I aim to run 2x a week, do Jillian's ripped in 30 video 5x a week and go to Zumba 1x a week. I am wondering if the Jillian video is enough strength or do I need more? Thoughts/advice on this are appreciated :)

    I'm currently doing the 30 Day Shred routine, I started level two the other day, so I am doing level two in the mornings, and then level one in the afternoons. I try and go for a 5k run about three times a week as well.
