Couch to 5k: Week 1

Current Weight: 145

I am planning on doing to couch to 5k program, the program is designed to last nine weeks and get you ready to run a 5k. I will be posting the exercises for the program every week so you can all do it with me.

Week 1 Day 1, Day 2, Day 3
Brisk five-minute warmup walk.
Alternate between 60 seconds of jogging,
90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes.

It should look like this:
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog
90 Walk
60 Jog

Five-minute cool down walk.

Its all very simple just do this for three days your first week. Don't feel bad if you have to repeat weeks, ESPECIALLY if you are new to running.

Good luck!
