Couch to 5K Challenge

So, there are loads out there but it was Change for Life that made me decide to try it.

We've been trying to eat healthier and get back into shape (after various health problems I've been on bed rest for months - on and off for years before that) and so we signed up for Change for Life Smart Swap, we were sent some coupons, leaflets and a swap spinner thing that offers healthy alternatives to soft drinks etc.

There is also an app that has recipes and a meal mixer for meal planners that let's you add ingredients straight to a shopping list.

While downloading that I had a nosey at the similar apps and stumbled across the Couch to 5K app.

It's a three day a week challenge that lasts nine weeks. You walk for five minutes to warm up, then alternate running and walking for twenty minutes and build up until you're running for twenty five minutes.

The app even times for you and tells you when to switch!

Sunday should be my third day (they don't have to all be in a row) and I plan to do an update then on how I'm doing and finding it. Once we're a little more settled into it we will be adding more exercises.
