Grateful

I’ve wanted to get in shape for years but was convinced that I should resign myself to just being frumpy. When one of my kids joined track, I remembered how much I loved track when I was the same age. (At all other ages before and after I didn’t like running though lol) I’ve made small efforts here and there to adjust my lifestyle so that I could be healthier for myself and my family. Fear of actually winding up overweight and frumpy for the rest of my life, and fear that I’d never get energy back, be at a healthy weight, or see my actual knees and have real calves again, led me to decide to use the C25K program. I was surprised how many people hadn’t heard of the program, but I’ve been sharing it through social media and through word of mouth whenever I finish a session. The app makes it easy to share to social media so that my friends and family can cheer me on and keep me accountable, while giving me pride in seeing what I’ve accomplished. There’s a community area of other people using the program, and even a place on the app to locate local 5K runs to sign up for so you have a goal to push towards! I’m excited about continuing my journey, and happily surprised at how easy it is. I recommend setting up a playlist on your music since the app chooses the same series of songs otherwise. Just trust yourself to get the first few steps out of the door and let the app do the rest! HAPPY RUNNING!

DO IT!!!

I never ever write reviews because I don’t care about this kind of thing enough usually to do that. But this app truly changed my life. I hate running. I hate exercising. I also hate feeling fat and gross after having three kids so I decided to make an effort by exercising. The problem is, I’m 33 years old and have never truly put effort into any kind of exercise so my body was all around out of shape. This app helped me completely ease into becoming a regular runner. I am one day away from completing the program and I’ve lost almost 20 lbs. I have WAY more energy to play with my kids and I feel like a better person all around. I plan to start the 10K training after I finish the 5k (today!) and I’m feeling so proud of myself. If you’re willing to just do the dang thing, you’ll find that you actually can. Don’t tell yourself that you’re not a runner. Don’t tell yourself that you’re too fat or out of shape to do this...trust me, if I can, you can too. My closest friends and family are now doing this app because I can’t stop talking about it...and guess what, they’re losing weight and getting healthy too! JUST DO IT!!!!

Back into shape and an active life

I used to be an avid runner- my Mile was down to 4:50 pace. As you get older, muscles and dynamics change especially if one does not keep up with fitness. I was trying to get back down to 6min but was going about it the wrong way with a slow jog and getting mileage in. It was frustrating and would take a lot of time just to run. I couldn’t keep at it because I also had this sore on the side of my knee. Come to find out I was going about my run all wrong because of my defeated mentality.
This app has changed all that. The mixture of walking and jogging encourages a faster pace and to kick up your knees. The reason; because it’s only 30 min- it’s like that carrot dangling to encourage one to run harder and correctly to build not only calve and thigh muscles, but also the glutes. I cannot emphasize enough on how this app encourages kicking up my knees and picking up my pace during the running portion, thus targets the correct muscles and taking pressure off my knees. Because of all those factors, I can remain consistent and actually look forward to it. I still don’t like running- but 30 min isn’t that long and is a nice escape either with music or talk radio. The best part- being active helps me keep up with my son when I’m playing with him. Just 30 min of my own three days a week- enables me to go the extra mile with my son after a difficult day at work.
