Some people do the Strength and Flex programme which is fab... if you arent used to exercise then a rest may be what you need. Otherwise a nice walk, swim, cycle... go to the gym. There is loads you could do :)

Hi, sorry maybe a stupid question, I'm new here. What is this running program everyone talks about and where do I look it up? I'd like to start running and exercising. I read people are one week one etc... where is that schedule?

Or there is the C25K podcast with the delightful Laura as your coach:

If you see references on this site to Julie, Laura, awful music... that's the podcast.
