Welcome. I just completed wk2 and am very pleased with myself. I also feel so much better generally after only 2 weeks of exercise! At 55 and 18 stone coming into this it was a bit daunting, but I now believe I can do it. Good luck!

Read the guides and read them again it’s all good advice. Take it at a slow pace and do the stretches. Still a novice myself but all the advice does work and help. Enjoy, and be warned it is addictive

👋 Hi! Am a newbie myself about to complete Week 1. Totally agree with what the guys say about reading the guide. I couldn’t understand why I felt it so hard after my first run, then I read the guide……. I was running too fast and picking my feet up weigh too high! 🙄 I now run really slow and exactly as the guide video explained and am so enjoying it. Well done for joining and keep us updated! 👏🏻 👏🏻

Hello Wendywoo71. Welcome to the forum. I find that the information offered here is very educational and helpful.Developing a fitness program is a great idea. I go to the gym five days a week. I also run five days. The fitter we stay the more likely we are to fight off colds, flus, and depression. I used to be a fitness instructor at a couple of gyms. I'm sure you're well aware that one must start slowly whether running or weight lifting. Good footwear is important.

There are many people on this site to help with any question.
