Exercise. I need encouragement! For me, this is tougher than changing the foods I eat. I reached out to my Facebook and had a wonderful response. I know I can do this if I am not alone.
Yesterday was my first day doing an app (HCP suggested) called Couch 2 5K. There are a hundred apps for this, including free ones! I went with one made by Active at $2.99. The app takes you over a course of 9 weeks to build your body to a 5K. There are 3 sessions per week. You get a choice of "trainers" that goes over the session with you. The trainer talks to you to keep you moving and tells you what to do. Session 1 was a combination of walking and jogging.
Needless to say I did it. The kids were fascinated at it, so I chose the Zombie as my trainer. They were quite amused. Guess what? I did the entire 30 minutes without quitting. Now I admit my calves were pretty tight the last 9 minutes out of 30. I was so worried about not being able to move. I woke up today though with only the slightest bit of soreness in my calves. I survived. I even survived the zombie trainer! Tomorrow, maybe I shall try the unicorn.
