So talk to me about C25K
I need to find a new method of exercise.
I am so not a gym person and my yearly Bikram membership is coming to an end soon.........and I feel like I've totally slacked off with it since the summer.
Probably because it is such a time committment.
Like 3 hours almost by the time you factor driving there, getting there early for a spot and if class runs over.
I know posters have mentioned this before and how successful they were.
So please send me motivation.
I actually bought new sneakers but have yet to actually start the program.

Re: So talk to me about C25K
I have an app on my phone for this. Simple c25k. I could barely run a minute. 9 weeks later and i can run 30 minutes straight. I started off slow on the treadmill, but I know a lot of people run on the street.
also in 9 weeks with watching my food intake i lost 15 pounds.
myfitnesspal is a an awesome website/ app on my phone also.

Basically exactly this. It's kind of a miracle. I've tried to get myself to start running multiple times in my life, and have done absolutely no exercise for the last 2 years. I decided to try this, because my neighbor suggested that we start running together. I stuck with it and went from being unable to run for more than 30 seconds straight to being able to run for 30 minutes. Today I started the 10k trainer. I suggest it wholeheartedly. I also agree that myfitnesspal is amazing.

Same here, could barely do the 60 seconds and nine weeks later I was doing 30 minutes without stopping. A year and a half later I ran my first full marathon....it works!!

Re: So talk to me about C25K
I am a NON runner. I started this recently and am on Week 2 and love it. Actually look forward to the days I know I have to do it. Great because it is NOT overwhelming. Only 3 days a week! I can't imagine being able to run 1/2 hour straight, but we will see! DO it! Good luck!

The app I used is called C25K Free. It was really good. I also downloaded the Couch-to-5K app from active.com, which I think is supposed to have GPS, but I never used it. I use the C25K app along with MapMyRun, which tracks distance and calories.
