exercise club - signing up now for new year

Ok. Just seeing if anyone is interested in the couch to 10k app and wanted to start in the new year. This can be a little support group free from prejudice to encourage and cheer eaxh other on.

Maybe if there is a few of us, when the 10k is finally acheivable maybe we can do a nuts sponsored 10k for charity.

Anyone one up for it?

Anyone?

I suspect there may be one or two couch potatoes on this forum! 

That's what i was counting on rt. No one is forthcoming though

I'm already ripped

I walk 20 miles a day. I'm OK.

I'm going to do a fitness thing starting Jan, but not up for a 10k, sorry y2j. Happy to share to let you laugh at my failures, and cheer at any successes

That's the spirit manda. I thought this was going to be a non starter but apparently everyone is fit as a butchers dog on here

Good luck Manda. Everyone starts with good intentions in January,but so many give up prematurely.
Stick with it,you'll get plenty of support here,I'm sure.

I have the body of a God.

Although for a while back there it was Ganesh....

What's this thing about. I might be up for it..

Couch to 10k. An app i found. Starting in the new year.

Can you tell me more about it? The basic idea? But a bit more detail than couch to 10k.

Its an app you get for your phone. It trains you from not being able to run loads to being able to do 10k in 14 weeks. So the first day you brisk walk for 5 minutes and then alternate between walking for 90 seconds and jogging for 60 seconds for 20 minutes and then a 5 minute walk to cool down. Each week it ups the ante a little to involve more jogging and less walking.

The app tells you when to walk and when to run through your headphones and also can play a playlist of music you preselected

...and if you don't keep up with the pace it gives you an electric shock and tells you how pathetic you are.

My boss uses a similar tactic.

Ignore lusty. A gym in norfolk consists of a sheep trapped in a fence

That's a 'squat thrust' you wouldn't want to see.

Sadly Norfolk is bereft of sheep. It be sugar beet, wheat and barley* country none of which compare to family if it's a good workout you're after.



Factoid: Norfolk produces the majority of the barley used in whisky production.
