Is this spring the time to spring into action?

Are you a person who thinks running any long distance is a goal that is out of reach for you? Many people think that running any distance, especially a 5k seems completely out of reach. Well, it's time to put those disbeliefs behind you and get those sneakers in front of you. Now that New Year resolutions have been made and most of them broken, we find many ways to motivate ourselves to keep exercising. Some think of the spring season as an excellent motivation as it can be seen by many as a new beginning. Many of you have heard of the running routine for beginner runners "couch to 5K", if you haven't let me fill you in. It is a nine-week program enables you to transform your sedentary lifestyle into an active one where you can run for 30 minutes or 5 kilometers (3.1 miles). The plan's structure prevents new runners from giving up and at the same time challenges them to continue moving forward. Josh Clark, a self-proclaimed, reasonably fit 20-year-old, founded the Couch-to-5K (C25K) Running Plan in 1996. Although he hated running at the time, he knew he would benefit if he could just get through the initial discomfort. Clark's strategy in developing the C25K was to make it as painless and user-friendly as possible in order to engage the new runner immediately. Best of all, anyone can use the C25K plan anywhere. The plan's manageable expectations offer early success, which serves as motivation to stick with it. When runners have mastered the nine-week program, many are content to stick with the 5K, while others move on to bigger challenges. Either option is better than sitting on the couch. No matter which path C25K graduates choose, after two months they will no doubt realize the mental and physical health benefits of running. Running not only burns more calories than other forms of exercise, but also helps lower the risk of early death due to diabetes, some cancers and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, running gives your mental health a boost, as exercise releases endorphins, the hormones that make you feel good. Although any exercise routine is great for anyone's body, it's always good to ensure it is nourished from the inside out by taking Arbonne's Essentials - Fit Essentials.
