Have a look at Jeff Galloway’s Run/Walk method. Jeff is an experienced runner and coach and loads of folks have had great success with his method. Lots of free resources on his site and internet about the method. Keep getting out there, run a few mins then walk a few mins and you’ll soon build up. Good luck!…

Hello! I’m planning a new round of Insanity Max30 starting Monday

Hi @Mahdi22, I've just started a 2nd round of Max30. On Week1 day2 Tabata Power. Never feels easier!

Hi all, I'm almost 44 and it's definitely become harder to keep the lbs off but not impossible. I've always been a cardio queen but have started strength training two months ago and looking forwards to seeing better results.

Insanity Max30 - Max out Power today. This is week 5, day 2. Strange workout, struggled to get my heart rate up as I cannot do the plyo pushups (and there are tons of variations of them!) so calorie burn seemed low compared to month 1. Still felt really tough though, even modifying the pushups. Hoping the plyo push ups…

Great! That's you started. Let us know how the first workout went? Good luck, you can do this!

Insanity will definitely improve your running speed!

Hello. I'm 5'4", 43 years old and around 124lbs. Starting weight was around 131-132lbs. Trying to get to 115lbs

Current doing Insanity Max 30, so I know not starting at same time but happy to offer daily support to get it done ✅

Max 30, Friday Fight for me too. On week 4. Feeling weak today, bring on the weekend

Hi! Yes, I'll join you. Starting today? I've done it once through before and got great results.

Yes, I've done Insanity, and Hammer and Chisel. Loved them both. Just started Insanity Max30 as I like Shaun T's workouts. I've got PiYo but could not get into it, really must try and commit to it! I would like to try Body Beast too. I like the variety BB gives you.

Hello northernbites :)

Hi, hope its not too late to join? My stats as of yesterday were; 5'4" SW: 130lbs CW:130lbs GW: 116lbs Good luck all!

Hi, you are doing great! A 10k is certainly 'doable'. @pondee629 has good advice re. Fitness blender ( also YouTube) for simple strength training routines and also re. Getting a few 5k's under your belt. They will really boost your confidence to keep going and increasing mileage to 10k. It sounds like you are enjoying your…

Dismayed at the 'hating' going on here and on MFP in general..... :(

Fantastic progress! Just keep doing what you're doing and keep experimenting with the shoe / sock combo issue. It will be bliss when you find the perfect combination. Training on the type of terrain you'll race on is also crucial as is running with the extra weight of your pack. Have you tried 'INOV8' shoes? (INOV8 also do…

Hey! Fantastic work finishing up week 2. I'm finishing up week 3 tomorrow with Plyo Cardio Circuit. I have noticed a big difference in my stamina this week. Great job to you too @cardertaxidermy, month one in the bag! Recovery week coming up and you'll be ready for the Max workouts. L x

Hello! I'm about 4 weeks back in to MFP and regular exercise again. My diary is open and happy to connect. Lorraine ☺️

@pootsquee Hello! Try not to take MFP personally, most folks on here are just logging their own progress. 40's are a strange time, full of mixed feelings about life!! I hate to sound preachy, because I'm really not like that, but focusing on health and feeling good is absolutely the thing to try and get your head around.…

Yes! Quite often. I just remind myself to take the intensity down a notch if I feel my muscles seizing up.

Good morning! Glad to see there are a good few of us still going strong. Week 3 for me, Plyo cardio circuit today. I hope everyone's starting to feel the changes in fitness now? Keep pressing play!

Hope you got it done nice and early @billutzman?

Fantastic @Ewestlu, Week 1 over! How did you find it?

Expecting mine tomorrow. Also very excited. ☺️

What video did everyone else do today?????? [/quote] @cardertaxidermy, I'm behind this week as I had to take Tues & Wed off, so been playing catch up. Ditched Cardio recovery altogether as I don't enjoy it. I did Cardio Power & Resistance today. Pure cardio & abs tomorrow. I'm feeling the improvements starting now at end…

Hi @cardertaxidermy, don't worry about not being able to 'keep up' with the group on screen. Remember Shaun T repeats 'form over speed' again and again. As long as you are doing the best you can to keep up, using proper form, you will be improving all the time. Month two workouts are longer and so will feel tougher. No…

Hi @cardertaxidermy, looking forward to week 2 here. Hoping for some signs of improvement this week to boost my confidence. Good luck with the fit test tomorrow! ☺️

I don't enjoy the Cardio Recovery days either @cardertaxidermy. It just doesn't hold my attention and I don't like 'body balance' stuff, although I keep telling myself it's good for my core. I actually did a Jillian Michaels DVD after it this morning! I suppose i'm missing the point of the recovery element. Once you move…
