Hi we also watched bbc breakfast this morning and hubby and me dig out our keep fit wear and gave it ago ! Both have been members of gyms but the cost outweighed everything , great that you get reminders and inspiration along the way in your ears ! Very proud of our first outing .. what a beautiful day to start

2 overweight over 50s ready to change for the better ! 👍

You can have your own music on if you use the bbc get inspired C25k app, same thing but a bit more up to date.

Thank you all for your great support ! Means so much , yes we had our music on and Jo Whiley kept me going with her soothing voice , my husband had some comedian !

When we started I was abit nervous was haven’t run for over 30 more years! As you say it’s a gentle start so nothing that is too much , I will keep posting our journey !
