Loved this post! You are funny, and i can totally relate! I am the fattest and most out of shape ever, and seriously just trying to get up and down off the floor or turning over from crunches to planks is a workout! My big belly is in the way! Would love to know more about what 90 day program you did. I have aspirations to do insanity but i am not ready yet.

I broke down and got the free trial to the Jillian Michaels app. I only subscribed for the workouts. The one I'm doing now is her Transformation 90 program. The rest of the app seems pretty useless. It does have very pretty food in the meal plan. Like Ricotta Berry Toast and Curried Salmon Pita. So um yeah.. I'm paying each month for a workout program and to look at pretty food that I will never make because it would require me to go to the store and buy food that would probably rot after the first attempt. BUT.. I'm following a workout plan so I can't complain too loudly.

Of course go! Even if you walk fast, 5K takes less than hour 🙂 I used to do morning jogging 6K in 47min, but tested myself in 10K Lifeboat run and completed in 56min on a hot day almost without the water( poor organisation of the event).. So, you never know how strong and fast you can be until challenging. Good luck! You can do it! 💪✌️

Just want to add, for home workouts I would recommend Fitnessblender on youtube. Very nice training, different exercises and all levels. And for free))
To be honest I know number of people whose trying JM programs but with not success, then they go to Fitnessblender and very pleased with training.

Try to go little by little, you will get stronger, I have Jillian Michaels DVDs and I love them, I started last year, and I have quit a few times but I know my arms are stronger now, Good luck!

You've done the hardest part ---BEGINNING! I wish you well on your endeavor, like the idea of a traditional 5k or some sort of marathon, sounds fun !!! Just not for me at the moment... (haha)--- As for the treadmill -perhaps replace with incumbent bike for awhile if your at a gym and able. This is how I started about 2 weeks ago. Additionally, dependent upon how old your workout shoes are - and if you are unable to replace them and the moment ---check to see if you can get a SPORT/ATHLETIC Insole....sometimes they can slide over top of your existing insole, other times they you may have to gently remove (tear out) the old one to make room for the new insole. Make certain you get one with Memory Foam (replace about every 3 to 4 months)...this minimizes expense on shoes immediately.....but eventually make certain you get a supportive running or cross training shoe ----I've noticed the really light weight shoes while comfortable for daily usage and look pretty with colors are usually not as supportive of the pounding our bodies take when exercising..... However, I wish you well and good luck with exercise and you Daughter !!!!! as I have a teen as well. ; }

I definitely agree on you taking up the challenge of a 5K, my colleague and I have decided to have a go at a 10K, it's definitely keeping me motivated.

Good luck! I hope you decide to do the 5K. Even walking, it does help with motivation to get out there and do something. I signed up for a 5K recently and it's helped me stay more active. You can do this!
