Looking for the best couch to 5k beginners running program for weight loss? Here is a running program that will jumpstart your weight loss and help you create a long-term healthy lifestyle!

This couch to 5K beginners running program gives you EVERYTHING you need for success - I WISH I had a program like this when I decided to lose the baby weight. Back then, I had to take books out of the library, read fitness + healthy food magazines and try to piece everything together myself. This 30 day program gives you EVERYTHING you need to go from your couch to running a 5K, PLUS you’ll lose weight, learn how to eat right and get incredible support.

This post is about the best couch to 5k running for beginners weight loss program.

Train for a 5K (even if you have never run before)

They say it takes 30 days to break a habit - but the same can be said for building a habit! I remember what it was like when I first started - my little guy was only 2 years old, I had not worked out in YEARS and there I was on the treadmill. I had run 0.1 miles (no that is NOT a typo. A mere 0.1 miles) and literally thought I was going to DIE. YIKES! I was in the worst shape of my life - but that ONE decision to just try changed EVERYTHING! You can take that first step and skip all the mistakes and confusion by starting with THIS program.

Want to run a 5K in 30 days? Here’s how you’ll do it:

follow the 5K running calendar (beginner or advanced based on your current fitness level)
you will start with 3 runs per week and work your way up to running 5 days/week
running days can be done outdoors or on a treadmill or substitute with the Rainy Day Cardio workout - NO EXCUSES! You can easily stick to this training plan, no matter the weather
following trainer’s cues and staying motivated via the audio guided training session - NO guesswork
on a tight schedule? follow our “Time Crunch Calendar” on days when you need to be done within 30 minutes
you’ll start your workouts with a lifting session followed by your run - THIS is part of what makes this program SO special!
and the REAL secret to making long-term change? Its learning how to EAT! My Nutrition Coaching will show you how to eat for results while you’re training. If you’re struggling with stress-eating, emotional eating, or just being so freaking CONFUSED by all the diet plans out there - this is a simple, sustainable, sensible plan that breaks you out of the diet mentality and helps you create a healthy relationship with food.

What equipment do you need?

A great pair of running sneakers - as someone who has suffered greatly from poor arch support and countless hours on my feet as a nurse, I highly highly recommend you seek out the expertise from a store that specializes in running shoes. DO NOT BE CHEAP! Investing in quality shoes can be the difference between success and injury.
smart phone, ear buds and you can use the running belt included with the program or running tights with pockets (my newest obsession!)
light, medium, and heavy dumbbells (I started with 3, 5, and 8 pound dumbells with my first program)
resistance bands (included with your package)
foam roller
a positive attitude! LOL - corny, but its so true. I know you might be doubting yourself right now - but believe me, if I can do it, so can YOU!

I know how hard it can be to get started and i also know how amazing you will feel once you make the decision to take that first step! Get started RIGHT with my FREE Morning Routine Checklist
