I've been a little apprehensive about starting to exercise, however I spoke with a friend last night about something that might help. I downloaded c25k 5k trainer, its free and supposed to take you from couch to being able to do a 5k in some period of time. I am not sure the time period I didn't do that much research on it and after day 1 I'm actually looking forward to day 2. It started out with a 5 min warm up then alternated between 60 sec of jogging and 90 sec or walking (20 min total) then a 5 min cool down for a complete 30 mins. I actually laughed at the app when it said begin running. Instead of running I increased the incline and speed on the treadmill then when it told me to begin walking I dropped it back down. To be honest I didn't think i would make it through the entire 30 mins but I am goal oriented and kept an eye on the timer and kept telling myself to push forward. You also have the option to listen to music while doing it and it will interrupt and tell you to speed up or walk or cool down.
