First, WOW, you all seem to love short hair! I go in on Tuesday so we'll just have to wait and see what I end up doing, because I'm a chicken and I could flake out on cutting it!
Has anyone heard of the Couch to 5k program? Done it? I'm on SparkPeople, which is a free weight loss/workout site where you can keep track of goals, calculate your bmi, calorie intake and calories burned for the day etc. It has a TON of great information not only on losing weight but on exercising. If you have some sort of injury you can plug that in and it gives you workouts that you can still do while not injuring yourself further.
Anyway, I was reading an article on there about Couch to 5k so I looked it up here. Basically you follow their program 3 times a week for 9 weeks and at the end you should be able to jog/run a 5k (3 miles). I've been thinking about it for awhile because, well, I don't run. Period. Unless chased by someone who has a gun - and even then, if I don't think I could outrun them, I probably wouldn't try. Just sayin.
So today was the day. I thought it would be super simple - walk for 90 seconds, jog for 60 - and repeat for a total of 20 min's. I did a 5 min warmup walk and a 5 min cool down walk so it was a 30 min workout. Anyone can do that right? Well, barely. As in I barely did it. I felt so out of shape!
So if you're in the same boat as me, checkout SP. I'll link to one of their calorie counters below. And remember, it's totally free!
