Fitness Friday : C25K Training


I am loving being back running.
I forgot how much I love it and how good you feel after a good workout.

Were starting week 3 of our Couch to 5k training program that the local Fitness Group, Feale Fit, have set up for us.
If I'm being honest, I'm finding it hard to get out during the week. Between weather, kids and all the other madness in my life, it's HARD!

Here is week 2 and 3 of the training.

Week 2
 Brisk five-minute warm-up walk.
Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)

I have also started some workout classes in the hopes of shaping up. Skinny jeans and sculpted abs are the name of the two classes. I really enjoyed the skinny jean class. It was tough and I nearly died. My legs were like jelly. I was afraid to sit down for fear that I wouldn't be able to get up. But I was worth it and I'm going back for more.

I'm heading to sculpted abs class this afternoon and I'm excited to feel the burn again.

My diet is improving too. Cutting down on sugar and salt which are two of the worst things I add to my food. I'm also using this juice I found on Pinterest. You can head on over to my my health and fitness board and see some of the pins I found.

The juice in called Dr. Oz swimsuit slim-down juice.
Combine
1 cup of grapefruit juice
2 teaspoons on apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of honey
 Drink this combination before every meal. Apple cider vinegar helps you burn and break down fat. This drink combination also burns away your fat, literally. Drink it 3 x per day before meals.


Now I'm not one for trying every new thing I see on the internet of TV but it Dr. Oz. The man has been on Oprah like a million times. Well, maybe not a million but if he was on Oprah then that's good enough for me.



And that's pretty much it for this week. I'm linking up for Fitness Friday over at A Daily Dose of Davis.

  1. Great job this week! I saw that Dr. Oz drink and wanted to try it. Unfortunately I can't have grapefruit juice bc it messes with my heart medication. I found another version I'm going to try. Totally you feel ya on the not wanting to sit down thing after a great workout :) Stopping by from the link up.

  2. I have heard of this Dr. Oz drink before too but I seriously hate the taste of grapefruit!! Maybe it won't taste as bad mixed with the other stuff though. And I am with you on the weekday running girlfriend...SO HARD to get out there with this weather and all the craziness of the week. But props to all of us for trying at least!!! Have a great week...thanks for linking up again!!
