- Welcome to fitness Friday! I did the couch to 5K program back in 2009 when I decided to transition from being a couch potato to a runner. It was a long process but somewhere along the way I became a runner and you can too!

I did this in 3 months when I was 48 years old. I started in August and couldn't even run 1/4 of a mile without gasping. On Thanksgiving Day that same year, my hubby and I ran the Human Race 5k in Utah. I certainly wasn't fast but I did it and finished. It seriously was one of the hardest things I've ever done but so worth it to accomplish that goal.
Watching this video thinking….is 44 to old to start 🤔🤔🤔 your comment gives me hope!
Awesome, thanks for the push
That's amazing. Well done you! I've been thinking of taking up running recently. This video, and you, have inspired me!
@@karenb9037 I started running/jogging at 46, now I can run up to 4 miles non-stop. Never to late. 🙂
I will never forget the first time I went on my normal 4 mile run that was always very difficult and for some reason - that day - it wasn’t. I ran and ran. Never walked. I actually extended my run. I ran home and told my husband and I was in disbelief
✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My first 5K I walked the whole way. I had lost 100lbs and still weighed 380lbs. It took me an hour an 40 minutes, but I did it and cried after because I did. Your video reminded me how proud I was and I need to begin again. No running anytime soon, but my first goal is lose the weight I regained during lock down and finish my next 5K with a better time.
I would love to run a race with you!! One thing I would add to your list is to hydrate hydrate hydrate!! It’s so important!!!
My sister in law, Jennifer has been running for some time and up till the pandemic, volunteered for water stop duty for the Boston Marathon since the infamous 2013 marathon. She is partnered with a girl in the I Run for You program. The program pairs runners with people that can't run due to physical challenges. Jennifer surprised her partner a few years back by traveling to her state, renting a running wheel chair, and entered a race for them to run together for the first time. Her I Run For You partner inspires her to run. Jennifer also meets up with a local possy of girl friends most, if not every morning and are part of their specific I Run For You team.
I really needed this video. Feel like I’ve successfully organized my pantry, freezer is full of meals, but I HAVE to get moving! Thanks for adding the Friday fitness videos to your mix. 😊
The year of yes! When I divorced, I had this mantra. If someone asked me to do something, I said Yes! It ended up getting me out of my house and out of my post-divorce depression. At my brother's funeral, his friends spoke about him and all the ways he had changed and all the activities in which he was involved. His one friend once asked my brother about it and my brother mentioned the movie "Yes Man," about a man who had to say Yes to everything. Little did I know, we both had been living our lives on this same premise of saying Yes. More people should try it!!!
I’m not a big commenter, but here’s the thing. Christine you have helped me so much. I admire you a whole lot. You’re hilarious, fun, supportive, and inspiring. I love to cook and clean and organize. Watching your videos is my favorite calm down relax thing. I have seen some of your videos at least 20 times 😳 but it’s too good not to repeat! I am NOT a runner. I used to be relatively active but have fallen off the train. You have inspired me to consider running. I think it would help me feel great and healthy to be in better shape. Thanks for all that you do! :)
Ps. I wasn’t excited about fitness Friday’s because I always felt they didn’t pertain well to me because I’m only doing low impact light short workouts two days a week. I’m not even close to anything you do. I would love if you could do more beginner or workout motivations.
I know of a great fitness program that is great for beginners too: Leslie Sansone's Walk at home cardio exercises. You can choose between different difficulty levels: ranging from 10 minutes/1 mile to 45-50 min 5K exercises. It's not just walking, there are exercises built into it, but they start very gradually and easy to follow. O have two kids, and I like that program because I can follow it even when my children are running and shouting around me, trying to distract me. In some longer exercises, there is some jogging and a little jumping, but in the majority, there is no jumping. Knees up and kick up exercises help to move the muscles in the abdomen too, do you can work on your middle part as well. Similarly, twisting one leg before/behind the other helps to work on your sides. I try to do as much knees ups and kicks as I can (kicks only if the children are in a safe place) , because I hate situps and these are a good alternative to have a firmer waist line.
I just started the couch to 5K a month ago! I'm around 200 pounds and I love it! I love running so much
Great job!
I definitely would like a video about form when running. These exercise Friday videos are great and really helpful.
I have been enjoying them too, so I hope that Christine will continue posting them .
Me too!
As a DD sized person, I can attest to the effectiveness of the Shefit bras. I love how adjustable they are. 😀
Well, you are an inspiration, I’ll tell you that! I’m 63, overweight and desperately want to be stronger, slimmer and healthy. I’ve been through a very rough few years of grief and depression and it’s time to start living again. I have faithfully watched all of your videos and honestly, you’ve roped me out of the darkness more than once. So….I’m looking up “couch to 5k” and resuming my yoga practice. I’m going to Europe with my sister in 3 months and I need to get STRONG!!
Thanks so much for being such a good example in so many areas. You help lots of people Christine!! Don’t ever doubt that you were born to shine!!💫
Thank you so much!
Love this! I was a couch potato until I was 39 and then a became a runner! Someone told me the secret to running early on and it helped me a TON. This is it - "Running is hard and it doesn't get easier." Everyone from beginner runners running 17 minute miles to Olympic runners running 4 minute miles are in pain and out of breath when running. You are not doing it wrong! What happens after a while is that you can run further and/or go faster when you run but it will ALWAYS be hard. Embrace it and think about how good you will feel when you are done. It's the best!
Running never is and never will be my thing. I'd love something discussing other options to try if you aren't comfortable going to a gym at this point.
The first time I ran for 30 minutes straight, I couldn’t believe it! I was so proud of myself
There’s just something about that progress that is so helpful to your mental❤️
I need to get back into running. Used to do 5K daily... then a few pregnancies and some stressful life experiences later... I got in my own way.
Then the last 2.5 years of chronic joint pain and weight gain made it impossible to get back into it. I’m starting to lose weight and reduce inflammation and am finally able to walk longer distances again. I will get back to running! I’ve done it before and I can do it again! Thank you for the tips and motivation 🥰 you are my favourite person to follow.
You should make a video for how to workout from home, when you don’t have any fitness equipment, be creative, show us ways to stay fit even if we don’t have much equipment.
Thank you for this! I have never been a runner. My husband was a track and cross country star in highschool and when we went to college together I tried running with him. I was practically on the ground passed out and he hadn’t even broken a sweat so I said nevermind! Fast forward over 20 years later and April 2020 comes around and sitting around all day in quarantine is not gonna work for me. I did not want to gain weight, so something came over me and I decided to start running. We had an old treadmill on the back porch and I started out run/walking 3 miles at about 15 min mile pace. I decided I was going to run every single day and see if I could keep it up. I ended up running every day for a year! The treadmill broke and I transitioned to the street (I live in CA so I’m able to run outside year round) and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a treadmill. My 365th run was 7.5 miles at 8:53 pace! Now it’s almost another year later and my fastest 5k is 8:08 pace and I still run pretty much everyday. I’m 43 years old! I was 41 (almost 42) when I started running. I had no idea until I looked in my app a few weeks ago, but I ran 1,021 miles in 2021! So crazy. If I can become a runner, anyone can! I heard you talk about your friend #nobodycaresworkharder and I tell myself that when I want to quit or let up. It works! I also inspired my husband to get back into running daily. He’s continued to be a runner our entire marriage and has run multiple marathons but had not run in quite a few months when I started. Now he’s coaching cross country and track at our kids’ school and our kids have become runners too (a little against their will, ha ha, because our 14 year old son is a baseball player and our 16 year old daughter is a ballerina). Our almost 12 year old son is super excited Dad is coaching middle school track. He’s all about it! So I guess we have become a family of runners!
Wow that's so inspiring. I have been running up to 4 miles but my speed is slow about 14 minutes the mile. I am trying to improve... Great job!!
@@leslieroman5664 Thank you! Keep it up!
Now that was inspiring. Thank you for sharing that it really is hard to start, but completely possible. I am 26 and currently 20 weeks pregnant with my third. I have wanted to start running for years and always put it off. Last year I dealt with a lot of foot pain (possibly planter facetious however you spell it) and I couldn't even maintain my 5km walks. My goal and hope after this baby is to become a runner. I love being outside and being active and since having kids my activity level has gone down quite a lot.
I will be 57 tomorrow & have rules about running: 1)someone’s life had better be in danger, 2)If you see me running, see #1. So although I choose to NOT be a runner, I am more than highly inspired by you to resume working out. I. Hate. Working. Out. But I need to do it. Thank you for making me think I can.
Try out Leslie Sansone's Walk at home cardio exercises! I don't like working out either, and that is the first fitness program that I actually like and can stick to it! It's adjustable from 10 min/1 mile to almost hour long/5K exercises, and it's not just walking, there are exercises built into it but they are easy to follow. A 5K workout may contain some jumping or jogging exercises, but there are workouts without jumping too. 10-20 min workouts are great for beginners too.

You're amazing Christine
Thank you so much!!!!
I feel so inspired to give this a try I’ve always wanted to be a runner. Thanks for the honest tips.
I absolutely LOVE your content. This was so motivating. Thank you!!!
This video came at the perfect time for me ☺️ I started running a month ago with run/walk intervals on the treadmill at the gym. I am so motivated by music so I would walk a song, run a song, walk, run, etc until I hit 30 minutes. I started increasing it to one and a half songs running, one song walking. Fast forward to a month later and I ran my very first complete mile last week. I NEVER thought I would ever run a mile. EVER. I’m currently working towards 1.5 miles and then eventually would love to get to 3 in the next couple of months. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Thanks for this inspiring video. I feel like I want to start exercising.
I love this. I have been in a weird funk lately when it comes to fitness, and I've always hated running... but this makes me feel like maybe I can get over this rut and get back to fitness. It's even convinced me that maybe I could do a 5k this summer. I'm so happy that you've decided to do fitness Fridays.
I love videos about running and fitness.
That was the pep talk I needed for just life in general. Thank you
Now I need to become a runner. Thanks for taking your time to make this video, I loved it♥
Good morning from Texas. awesome video. I'm going to look into the program from a couch potato to a runner 💜
Love your music choices
I love fitness friday.
This was really great! Also I appreciate you telling us where you were. That was helpful too.
This is inspiring. I need to get off the couch! Thanks.
Truly loved this video. Very intelligent and encouraging. Thank you for sharing !!!
Thank you so much for this video- I want to start running
Awesome ❤️
I sooo needed this today. I've been following you for years now. I love seeing all of you videos and Instagram photos. My husband and I have started riding bikes and running more. I trained and finished my 1st half marathon because of watching you. Thank you so much.
You’re amazing.
Great vid, now let's go and run some miles! Thank you!
Well, Well, Well, I see you are up to 402K subs now.!!! Wow. Good for you. Thanks for the fitness Friday video and all the weirdness within.!!! You're not right and I absolutely love it.!!!
You are too funny! So inspiring, thanks for your infectious enthusiasm! I would LOVE to get your input on beginning with strength training. I’ve been wanting to get into that for years, but feel too overwhelmed to start 😅
Yeees ! loove that your are making more fitness content ! I just started my running training up again. my goal is to run 25 K this summer . Ran 9 KM today, it was sooo slow..
Very inspiring. As a runner, who st one time was NOT, I relate. I love your phrase, “the year of yes”. My new motto as I move forward.
Watching your older fitness videos for some inspiration! Miss these Fitness Fridays! Thank you for your content. It's been awesome watching your channel grow from 20,000 to almost half a million.
This is great !!
Thank you!
I ran cross country in high school. I wasn’t good but I always showed up. Now at 41 I do Orange Theory. Yesterday was the 1 mile bench mark and for the first time I ran a full mile no stopping.
Added a comment to your survey while watching your inspiration video. I need to start running again. Thank you for sharing.
I love this! I just started running and I’m dying! Haha but pushing through!
Thank you, like many commenters I really appreciated this video and feel like I needed it! I got into running a few years ago and reached the runner's high level and LOVED it .. now after two babies and a couple years of pandemic I want to get back into it so much. Was worried it'll be tough getting back into it but this is a good reminder that it will get better!!!
oh man the timing of this video, i literally started the couch to 5k program 3 wweeks ago to prep for a 5k this spring. i did it once before about 10 years ago and im finally in shape enough again that its fun rather than torturous xD i moved to snowy illinois this year and i needed some structure to make walking on the treadmill more interesting and so far its been a huge motivator
I really love your Fitness Friday videos. I have been trying (really a lie...I've been thinking) to get going again after 2020 and then spending 2021 sick. I remember getting going before, and I remember the path wasn't easy. I know it's mental. Your videos are helpful, even if I don't need a sports bra.
I'm enjoying the Fitness Friday videos, and I was pleasantly surprised to see your picture at East Carolina pop up. My son and my husband attend there and should be graduating in May. Go Pirates! Arrrrr!
Love Fitness Friday!! Thanks for sharing your experiences!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so, so, so much for this. You have no idea how much I needed EXACTLY this video at EXACTLY this morning.
Yay! Thanks for the beginner fitness content! And the reminder to make sure you get a high impact bra! It really makes a difference for us DD+ ladies!
I’m literally watching this as I am on the treadmill thank you so much for the inspiration!!!
OMG! I can't believe it's you Christine!!! Congrats on your success here on you tube. You're awesome. I remember seeing your posts about running, these pics took me back :-) I did this program because of your blog posts about it! Changed my life and still do fitness today. Thank you!
Love the sport bra advice. I love running it just makes me feel in control of myself. Thanks for sharing. 😁💪😁
“Don’t be your worst enemy” ugh you’re the best
This music list could have been you reading from my music list lol Such a great and encouraging video. Thank you
Thank you for the motivation! I was a runner before I had kids. I loved the runners high, it was my way to decompress. I’ve been wanting to get back into it and this video had given me the push I needed.
