I am a runner πŸ€— Well I am now. Only on day two but I did it! So so proud of myself. I joined a gym but find it incredibly boring. I am a very active person and I'm at my target weight thanks to weight watchers. I do yoga but really wanted to get fitter and more toned. Glad I found this link!

Thanks Polly. I felt rubbish before starting my second day. I cried with joy when I had finished. Thanks for your encouraging words πŸ˜ƒ
