Ok, Post your workouts here Everyday. I am back on it. Today was T25 Beta Cardio and Leg Weight Training. Feel Great! Happy Monday!

I'm on week 4 and am slowly getting back into the rhythm of running. I've been focussing on technique and stamina, but I've been feeling good. My plan is to pause the program after week 8 and focus on speed for a few weeks before I move on - not least because I'm prone to injury and want to make sure I'm building muscle! Any speed exercise recommendations? My old fallback is sprint intervals, but I'm interested in new suggestions!

Hey all, Thank you for all the advice and encouragement! I started looking up while and run and tried to better my posture which has helped a lot and has gotten me to run over 2 miles for the first time in my life!! Woo

I am preparing to walk out my front door in just a few minutes to begin my lifestyle change. I am 52 years old and a year ago I weighed 228 pounds. I carried this on my 5ft 3 inch frame. Both of my anterior knees were replaced 3 years ago. I was prediabetic, high blood pressure, horrible joint pain. I had gastric sleeve surgery in August of 2015. My weight is down to 169. I feel better. However I know that I can do better by adding exercise to my program. I am committed, I was an athlete in my youth and I intend to become one and maintain the status for the rest of my life. On my way now.

More experience runners have suggested that you should move in two directions (simultaneously) - one is increasing distance and second is interval speed training. My goal is 3.2mi with 6.5mph and 3% incline (treadmill). I've restarted my program and got to the week 4. Then I realize that this was to ambitious for me . Now I am "rocking the boat" - I do distance (4mi) or speeding weeks. It is actually fun to think up new exercises every week and stick with them. I got myself to the 3.2mi, 6.1mph or 2mi with 6.5mph. (See my posts in "Accountability 2016")

Week 5 Day 3 conquered at last..!! Felt like I could have run a couple more minutes extra after completing it..!!

Hi I'm new too. Im starting this program for the first time. I walk a lot, about 5 miles 5 days a week and I would like to start running. Figured this is the beat way to begin.

you don't have to be in pain when you are doing leg exercises. you can try using elastic bands and exercise with it and may be listen to your favorite music?

Lots of air squats maybe. No weights. But, if you don't like the pain then you need to work on some mental toughness before you worry about anything else. Unless the pain is physically harming your body, if it's just uncomfortable because it's hard suck it up and do it.
