During the first week I just made the goal of going every other day. I do like how every week on the app is only 3 days. It allows for quite a bit of error out of the week. I don't do very well with an everyday commitment because of being a full time student.
Week 1: Five minute warm-up walk. Alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking with a 5 minute cool down for a total of 30 minutes. My butt was actually sore after these three days! I know I haven't worked out my gluteus maximus in a while but geeze! I now know that wall sits and squats aren't enough. I liked the 90/60 pattern. It was simple to do and I knew that I could tough out 60 seconds of running on any speed to deserve my 90 second brisk walk break.
Week 2: Five minute warm-up walk. Alternate 90 seconds of jogging and two minutes of walking with a 5 minute cool down for a total of 31 minutes. I liked the longer jogging time for this week. Unfortunately I think the 2 minutes of walking time was too long. It made the run go by faster, but I was looking for the sweat I was building the first week. So on the second day I upped the speed for both the alternations and found that I was much happier with how I felt.
Week 3: Five minute warm-up walk. Do two repetitions of the following: Jog for 90 seconds; walk for 90 seconds; jog for 3 minutes; walk for 3 minutes with a 5 minute cooldown for a total of 28 minutes. UPDATE TO COME!
Pro:I first downloaded the app and liked how simple it was. Just press start and do what is on the screen.
Con: I can't choose to forgo the start-up of 5 minutes. I walk to my gym and usually it takes about this time.
Pro: You can listen to music or watch netflix etc. and it will notify what speed to do throughout your workout.
Pro: It only requires 3 days out of the week instead of an every day commitment
Would I recommend?
So far? Yes! I love that it gives me enough motivation to add more running to my workouts. The price is unbeatable since it is free. I'm excited to see if there are any changes to my body from adding more cardio. Tune in for more week to week updates!
