This is another great program with Laura that helps to keep your muscles and joints strong and subtle and it really compliments the C25K.
The program is not new and I know some of you have done it and it would be great to have your input within the forum to help others get that basis for starting the proper routine that you got from it.
The new thing is that I, along with Poppypug and Ju-Ju will be the new admins so we are looking to Inject some life into it.
We have noticed recently that there is a bit of injury coming when the transition to bridge to10km happens and we asked Healthunlocked to help us find something to help all of us. They kindly reminded us that the NHS had thought of that with the Stregnth and flex and then suggested we took it under our wing.
There is a graduations badge to be had after a 5 week period. It can be done while you do the C25K, they compliment each other brilliantly. There will be non runners on the forum as well but we will all be doing the same program.
Then you can keep going with the week 5 workouts or when you graduate from C25K and go to the bridge to10km you can progress further.
Just for info... I've added these podcasts to the others that I'm sharing as not everyone (incl me) has an iTunes account and may prefer to just download the MP3's.
Excellent news! I shall add this to my routine when I am able! Thank you all for organising and being such great administrators! We all really appreciate your efforts. 🏋🏻♀️🏋🏻👏🏻👏🏻😀😀
Great, having all my friends on the forum will spur me on to do these exercises again. I was a bit lonely when I did my five weeks in July/August, but I did keep on posting my progress .
Excellent, I'll give it a go. I managed to hurt my back after a 10k on Sunday and think strengthening my core would help prevent that again - hopefully ?
Wonderful idea. Thank you guys for thinking about it. I have been sort of doing it on and off, more off than on. I think I may get it back and work on it. You more or less are giving me the initiative to do so. 👍
Mind you, I would have been just as happy if C25K had decided as a surprise to have a get together Xmas party with free travel to get there and accommodation. Never mind.... next time....😹
Great development... wanted to finish c25k before committing to more exercise days. Due to finish in a week or so segues nicely. Been stretching after each c25k run and I'm sure it's made a difference to me. Building strength next will be good as I want to run further. Cheers
Maybe put this in the pinned posts Realfoodieclub so its easy to find the link.
Do you actually go for a walk outside to do it or can you walk on the spot inside? lm going to have a look on my pc later so I can watch the videos etc. and download to my mp3.
I have pinned the post now. I think I am going to be doing a combination of both. Indoors and out, the pull ups are the ones I working out how to do them indoors but I'm a sure there is a way.
Brilliant, this works out so nicely for me. I started with both programs together but didnt seem to be getting enough leg rest so focused on c25k.
On week 7 so ive been working a graduation plan and i was thinking of going through the c25k plan again from the beginning (and hopefully improving on the speeds and distances i managed this time round) and completing stregth and flex on my rest days. Should be fun 😊
