Monday I’m going to start very self conscious but decided I need to get health and get out off my comfort zone

I've just started too, and I was worrying what everyone was thinking and that I was all hot and sweaty. That didn't matter though I've realised! Its great fun, and helps improve health. Have fun with it! I wish you lots of luck 🏃🏼‍♀️.

Stay strong 💪

Hi Bairn , well done on taking the first step. You have said you want to do this for your health. I also started this programme for me and was nervous to first go out and start but just keep reminding yourself this is for you!

Keep posting on here for motivation and tips and good luck for your first run 😁

Will let you all know how it goes

The biggest victory of all is making a start and walking out of the front door so believe in yourself and keep the reason you're doing this at the forefront of your mind.
