Congratulations, you have made it through the 1st week. Hopefully, everything is going well and you are feeling fine. This week we will go a little further. It should not be very difficult to go the extra time. It is not too late to get started, just start following from week 1.
Week 2 agenda
Low activity plan: Follow this plan if you are not very active in your daily life.
This week you should walk 10 minutes in the morning and 8-10 minutes in the evening. Do this everyday, or at least 5 days this week.
Moderate activity plan: Follow this plan if you normally walk or exercise, but want to get in better shape and increase the amount of exercise you want to be able to perform.
If following this plan you should perform a slow walk warm up for 5 minutes, increase your pace to where you notice yourself breathing a little bit harder for 15 minutes, then slow back down for 5 minutes. Try and do this everyday, but at least 5 days this week.
Running plan: Follow this plan if you are in a little better shape, but do not run much and you want to improve your conditioning.
For this week, walk 3 minutes then run for 6 minutes. Do this 2 times for a total of 18 minutes. Try and do this 3-4 times this week.
That’s it for week 2. Get out and continue move and I will see you in week 3.
As always, in addition to improving your overall health, the goal of this is to get you to finish the Mountain Heritage 5K run/walk. I encourage you to go ahead and sign-up for the race by contacting Rex Frohnapfel at 606-632-0820 or Ryan Sexton at 606-633-8888.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you may have. I enjoy reading or hearing any feedback you may want to give.
