My Couch to 5K Journey (June 2024)

Today's video is a bit different. I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few tips and reflections from my recent couch to 5K journey!

Hi there!
It’s great to meet you 🥰
My name is Maneetpaul Singh, but my friends call me Maneet (pronounced muh-neet). I'm a bookworm from Connecticut who loves tech. When I bought my first e-reader in 2020, I began reading more than I ever had before. I’ve made it my mission to help people fall in love with reading through Book Tech.
Think of me like the MKBHD of books.
There are three things I want you to know.
(1) If you'd like to read a new nonfiction book with me every month, join my book club with a community of 1,000+ bookworms: go.maneetpaul.com/book-club
(2) If you’re struggling to build a daily reading habit and want to know how I became a bookworm, check out my short book titled Just One More Chapter: geni.us/GQX7rKe
(3) If you just want to chat, email me anytime [e-mail]. I personally respond to every email.
Thanks so much for being here.
Happy reading!

Not only you are an inspiration for reading, now also for being healthy!~ thank you for sharing!

[@scottwarnock]

I've told you before...you inspire me. I like this type of video along with your past type videos. Variety is good. Keep up the good work 👍🏻.

[@Maneetpaul]

Thank you for always supporting me, Scott!

[@maureenb7399]

Good job Maneetpaul! You are such an inspiration to us who watch your videos.

[@LedgerAndLace]

Good for you! I think your advice is good for approaching any new activity; game-ifying and using technology and anything else that makes it easier to learn.
Years ago, my BIL gave my sister a Fitbit and she wasn't really into it. She put it on her 3 YO and had 10,000 steps by 11am!

[@AMUSIC33]

Congrats on the accomplishment and sticking with it!!!

[@christinapereira8380]

Great job! Congratulations! I hate running too. You are an inspiration!

[@caliinthevalley24681]

Your wrong this video was SUPER inspiring to me and came at the most perfect time for me. I used to be super active I worked out 7 days a week because I enjoyed it. Covid happened and several other unfortunate mental challenging things in my life sent me on a downward mental spiral. Your video was the push I needed to lace up my running shoes and get back on the road. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@Maneetpaul]

You got this! I’m so happy this video helped in even a small way. Best of luck!

[@jumping438]

Dude! Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing your story!

[@Terry_1111]

Maneet, I'm glad you shared your running journey! A long time ago you inspired me to read more and pay more attention to what I read. I watched your videos to find a Kindle that worked very well for me and, following your advice, I chose the one I'm still using. Now you're inspiring me to get up and move more, which is a good thing for all of us to do! Congrats on completing your first 5k! Thanks for sharing all that you do!

[@Maneetpaul]

This means a lot! Thank you very much for watching!

[@Grunfeld]

Nice work on the 5k and getting into the idea of doing activity for health. 🙂 PS I like the video's content; bookworms can move too!

[@Treemike1000]

Thank you! You got me motivated again.

[@ktwo08]

Awesome! Keep at it 👏

[@tejbirsingh3270]

Wonderful video. Excellent job on the 5k!

[@Maneetpaul]

Thank you very much for watching and the support! 🙏

[@suedoran4521]

Good job!!! That IS inspiring!!

[@gsogymrat]

Congratulations!

[@johnoc6072]

Well done!!

[@MizMagnoSalsa]

Great video. What a great accomplishment!

[@KB0101]

Congratulations.

[@spenceranderson4934]

Happy to hear about your fitness journey. I would add that if you were looking for other options to add to this journey, strength training/weight lifting will significantly increase your progress even more than running. Simple strength training workouts 2 to 3 times a week will have a major impact on your metabolism/weight loss.

[@Maneetpaul]

Thanks for suggesting this. Adding in some strength training to my weekly routine is on my todo list. I'll definitely look into it!

[@matthias7569]

keep it up brother!

[@ellemenop11253]

Congratulations on your running journey!! Thanks for the tips, I've really had to gameify my studying to make it feasible

[@jojharsethi5888]

congrats!

[@Maneetpaul]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Ali-gv1yw]

I always struggled with my weight since my childhood too

[@vincewhite5087]

Glad for you! Yes, keep being active. Watch too many metabolically sick people later.

[@hariSingh-qf1em]

Hi guys,Does anyone know from where to buy kindle scribe in India?

[@JosephSaltal]

Is there a particular app that's good?

[@Maneetpaul]

I used the “5K Runner” app on iPhone. I think it cost a little money, but it was well worth it. There are a ton of apps that do the same thing if you search for couch to 5k on the App Store

[@onkars]

Great job brother!

[@Maneetpaul]

Thank you, brother 🙏 Taking some inspiration from you and your fitness!

[@arpitmohan238]
