Couch To 5K Workout 1

All I have to say is OMG :o ! I thought I was going to die or fall off the treadmill...

 

I kept seeing posts about this Couch to 5k and I had no idea, so I looked it up today. I found one for the treadmill and printed it out. Got home from work, changed and got on the treadmill with printout in hand. Mind you I have been sprinting every 5 minutes of my mile workouts but that was nothing compared to this 5k workout. Like I said I thought I was going to die or fall off. Now I am smiling as I write this because I just pushed myself to finish. Previously I would of given up because it was too hard. I still can't believe I finished and I will get back on the treadmill on Thursday for workout 2. If you haven't tried or bored then I would recommend. It was a great workout and I sweated my butt off. Now I need to jump in the shower and cook dinner. :D

    Yes, I'm hooked also....it also kick started another weight loss for me which I did not think I had left in me.

    You should try the audio version. Plays your own music, and has audio prompts telling you when to jog and walk. If you use it on your I-pod, it has a video timer also.

    $1.99 for the app.

    The iphone app is great! You can buy the app or just use the free one and just deal with the ads. I honestly didn't think I was capable of actually running but I'm doing it! I started the program two weeks before my surgery. Now I am three days post-op and ready for my body to feel strong again. I run really slow but everyone has to start somewhere! Good luck!
