Couch to 5k?

I suppose I don't really count as starting from scratch since I'm never entirely sedentary, but I do find that when I've laid off running for a while and get back into it, it's best if I at least do some light jogging 5 days a week to start. You might want to alternate with a very light version on the in between days, but I agree that at the beginning, taking a day off tends to impeed my initial progress.

Painting and moving has been my preferred method of exercise for a while. Hopefully once that's settled I'll be switching to regular swimming as we now have a swimming pool mere steps away from our front door.
