Spring Training: 5K Challenge Link Up

button


 Today, I am linking up with Katie J @ KTJ Weighing In for the Spring Training: 5K Challenge.. I linked up with her a few weeks ago but the last couple weeks I slacked :( Today was great though..


  I did the Couch 2 5 K on the Elliptical. Today was Week 3 Day 2 and I plowed through it making it over a mile by the end. It felt great!! I hope to be ready to try Week 4 again real soon. 

  I also did the Biggest Loser At Home Challenge DVD- Strength training. I had to modify one move (a squat into a back lunge) I just couldnt do both moves together, so I just did squats the whole time.. Ha! Thats a lot of squats. Oh and I did the modified versions of the plank moves.. I just can do the full plank moves, hurts my hands/wrists.. Before the end of the month, Ill be able to do it!! :)

  Hope you are/were able to get up and get moving today!

    Way to get back to it! Exercise has never been my strong suit. I have to make myself do it because I like to sit around WAY too much. Congratulations on your successes this week.

    Good for you! So great that you are getting back into the swing of things! I haven't tried any of the biggest loser workout DVDs, are there any in particular you recommend?

      Katie, I have only tried the Biggest Loser At Home Challenge DVD and so far I havent done it long enough (continuously) to see if it is really doing anything for me.. I do like doing it and it is way easier then Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (which keels me after day 2)

    Great for you - I couldn't do the squat to lunge either but you did the squats and they are just as worthy!

      From what I have heard and read you do not get the same work out you do on a treadmill or outside. However, I know I am getting a work out from it. Also, if I try to run outside, my legs hurt and I just cant push my self as hard... However, if I get to the end of the program and can do a 3.1 on the elliptical but not outside, Ill take it! lol
