Making a Plan

Given my hectic schedule, I have always found it hard to find time for exercise. I like sleep too much to force myself to get up before 6:30 a.m. I rarely have enough time to eat with all of my work commitments outside of the regular 8-5 office time. But I am no longer using these as excuses. I have spent hours researching different programs, which is how I came across the Couch to 5K program. During my search, I also came across different articles regarding strength training.

I have a gym membership. I'm lucky if I go to the gym once a month. That's going to change. Why? Because I have a plan. Want to know what it is? See below:
