I have had a few years of running off and on, including running a couple half and a full marathon, and I still never considered myself a runner. It never got in my blood. I did it for my health and weight. But, to my surprise, running did not make me lose weight. I believe it helped me maintain somewhat, but never lose. As it's been said, 80% of weight loss begins in the kitchen--it's nutrition. Nutrition alone has helped me lose weight. I am blessed with a wonderful regimen that floods my body with excellent nutrition. But the fireworks really happen when you combine great nutrition with consistence exercise. So I'm back at it! Exercise+nutrition = optimal health! I started on week 4.

hi all, I have been wanting to give running a go for ages but didn't know how to start. I discovered C25K last week so I started it on Monday. I completed week 1 day 2 today but have had nighly lower back pain for the last couple of hours - any ideas?? Thanks Shell

Hi There and Welcome to you! Keep us posted, You can do it!

How do you use your core is that pulling in and tightening your stomach muscles while you jog and how do you breath with diaphragm. I never been a jogger but I want to start for the heath benefits. To be honest I don't even know if I can jog a full minute straight right now but I'm gonna try!
