I'm in! I started it a while ago then got pregnant with DD so kinda didn't finish. I did mine a mix on the xtrainer and outdoors. I want to do it for the structure and routine.
I want to give this a go too! Will also be starting tomorrow :)
I don't have an Iphone or an actual 'Ipod' as such, I have an MP3 player, can I still download the 'instructions' for the timing etc? I asssume that's what you gys are talking about? Would be a PITA to have to time the 60 & 90 second intervals myself and I doubt I have the motivation to keep that coordination up just yet haha!
Am I still able to download them for a normal MP3 player? Where do I find the downloads?
Thanks girls!
Alicia, yep you can use any mp3 player. If you go to the c25k website, they have some links there, otherwise just google couch 2 5k mp3 tracks
Count me in too! I'm another who knows I need to exercise for both physical and mental health, but I don't make the time. Having a group to keep me accountable will be a big help.
So who is starting tomorrow? I will be if the gym is open, still trying to work this out! If not, I might wait until next week and join in starting from week 2 as I know the crèche will re-open then and I will have no excuses :)
So, who's done their first run today? I've just done mine. Very hot and sweaty now on this humid Perth day!
Im heading off to the gym soon to start the c25km. I hope by the end of the 9wks I will be able to run outside the whole lot.
I'm starting tomorrow chicklets! I have my ebay armband holder coming soon (hurry up!!) and all ready to go, and I have joined WW online again! I also have a treadmill coming my way - can you do the program with a treaddy or does it have to be outside?
My BIL and SIL have been here from Canada for the last 3 weeks so it's been SO tough to be good ( I haven't had an alcohol free day in over a week :o) So as of tomorrow that is IT and I am doing no big 4 junk take aways for 3 mths as well! :) Good luck chicks! For those who have started how did you go? Did you find it very difficult? I have loads of hills near here - eeek!
Count me in too!!! I've been looking for something like this for ages I'm sooooo unfit it's embarrassing
How realistic is it to hope to be able to do this with a BMI of 35? I've never been very fit but really have to do something about it - my sister is coming over to see us in July and I'd love to be able to stun her by looking more like her baby sister than a blimp!
On the main page of the website for c25k they have a program for using a treadmill, I printed it out this morning because I will be doing mine mostly on the treadmill to start with :):
I may have to delay starting mine, storm just hit us and AF has made a very painful appearance *sigh* Hopefully tomorrow I can get to the gym and start.
I'm in... but probably not till march.
My exercise routine has gone from housework to...
40 mins on the treadmill every second day...
Power walks up hill every Mon/Wed
Walking to school every day, when they go back (on the way back I'll be taking a detour up a nasty hill)
Wii Fit
Roller Skating (starting from Feb)
I have also lost nearly 17 kgs... whilst I feel great I want to be a little fitter for running (even though I know they take it slow) as I have back issues.
Ms Fi, I've been doing a heck of a lot of exercise with a BMI of more than 35. It is definitely doable... definitely.
You are going to do awesomely Ms. Sarie... and you won't know yourself after!
I'm becoming one of those people I used to make fun of... I'm continually trying to find more ways to fit exercise IN to my lifestyle ;)
Rouge - thanks :)
Guess what I'll be doing after work tomorrow??!! The dog had better watch out we can be knackered together.
I did my first run today (one day late oops!) and I loved it! Took me a while to work out the app and realised that if I shut it off I didn't get the verbal cue just a vibrate? Is there any way to change it so you can hide the screen and let it still do the verbal thingy? I haven't got my arm band yet so I had to run holding my phone which is fine, but I kept pausing it etc and doing all sorts of weird things!
Anyhoo - it was really great and I am rapt with it! Just can't wait for my arm band to arrive from ebay - silly me bought from the US, but it was only $7 with postage!
How is everyone else going?!
Started today. I actually don't feel too bad. I managed all but the last jogging interval which I just walked.
Hi guys. Count me in. I am seriously stacking on weight and I need to get fit again. I am not a big runner but I can surely do this! Will be great to join into a group. Are you guys all starting off in week one?
I did week 2 day 2 yesterday and nearly died! Was good though but damn those hills around my house! Still waiting for my armband though but getting the treadmill this weekend and then it's ON!
Has anyone heard from Kryss???? hope you are safe honey.
Hope you are all well!
