C25K Week 1 Day 1 (W1D1)

Wednesday I started the C25K training program and boy did Day 1 kick my butt! I am proud to say I finished it though! It starts out with 5 mins of brisk walking then alternates between 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. I didn't stretch before which was a big no no! Always stretch before you start your C25K day and after you complete the 20 minute workout. I ended up stretching in the middle of the jogging because my calf started cramping up. We don't live on a very flat street so it makes it rather hard on me because having to go up the hills.. but what goes up must come down right? On Thursday my thighs did hurt quite a bit but that's just because they were working out so hard! 3 Ibuprofen pills later they felt better. Today being the day after the rest day they feel back to normal! So my regimen is going to be every other day with Saturday and Sunday also as off days. My schedule will look like this: Workout Wednesday, Rest Thursday, Workout Friday, Rest Saturday and Sunday, Workout Monday, Rest Tuesday then start the next week on Wednesday again. That puts me at my 3 days a week! :) Good Luck on your Weight Loss Journey and lets start shedding those pounds!!
