Lets take a RUN!

So at the beginnning of this month I decided to set a goal for myself and run 3 miles. Running is one of the best ways to burn those calories. So I decided to follow this plan I read in self and its going pretty well and decided to share the plan with the rest of you.

1st week- walk for 5 minutes at about a level 3. Do intervals for 18 minutes : Jog at level 5 for 2 minutes and walk at level 3 for 1 minute. Do this sequence 6 times and then cool down at your own pace. Total time would be 23 minutes

2nd week- Repeat week 1 but add 1 minute of running and substract 30 seconds of walking for each interval.

3rd week- Repeat week 2 but add 1 minute of running for each interval.

4th week- add 1 minute of running and eliminate the walking from your interval.

Sounds pretty easy huh? Try it and maybe soon running will be one of your new favorite activites :D
