Workout Routine

First, a quick update on the scale.  I am down about 1 pound this morning.  Today is a hard workout day, and I swear if I weigh in tomorrow morning having gained weight, I may just stop working out all together.

Now on to the real post, I wanted to just give an update on what I've been doing for exercise.  I am 6 weeks in to the Couch to 5K program (C25K).  The whole program is 9 weeks long, so I can see the end in sight.  It consists of running/walking for about 30 minutes, 3 times a week .  Here is what week 6 looks consists of:

Week 6, Day 1 (Monday)

• Brisk 5 minute warmup walk, then:
• Jog 5 minutes
• Walk 3 minutes
• Jog 8 minutes
• Walk 3 minutes
• Jog 5 minutes
• Cooldown 5 minute walk

 Week 6, Day 2 (Thursday)

• Brisk 5 minute warmup walk, then:
• Jog 10 minutes
• Walk 3 minutes
• Jog 10 minutes
• Cooldown 5 minute walk

Week 6, Day 3 (Saturday)

• Brisk 5 minute warmup walk, then:
• Jog 25 minutes with no walking
• Cooldown 5 minute walk

I did Day 1 on Monday and today, I will do Day 2.  Day 1 was actually pretty easy.  I'm afraid Day 2 is going to be tough.  It might be an easy workout for a lot of people, but not for me!

In addition to the C25K, I just started doing Power Yoga on DVD this week.  I needed to add in some strength training and I thought Power Yoga would be a good start towards that.  Eventually, I will want to add in some weights or resistance bands.

I did Power Yoga on Tuesday and I was so sore on Wednesday and I am still sore today.
