People have been asking me how to train for a half marathon/how I’m personally training for my half marathon, so here is the plan I’m using! It’s for beginners, AKA me!!
(Try this if you are able to run 2 miles straight, even at a slow pace)
Get your heart pumping a little bit EVERY DAY with this JKR Challenge of the Week :)
I’ll be doing these every morning just to get the blood flowing and add a little bit of extra activity to my day. This challenge is to be done IN ADDITION TO YOUR CURRENT WORKOUTS!
This challenge is for beginners but can be adapted to any activity level!
If this seems too easy for you, simply multiply each day by 2, 3, 4 or more.
By the end of the week you should have quadrupled the amount of jumping jacks you are able to do!

Give this routine your all, especially at the highest resistance levels! That’s where you’re really torching calories and toning your legs!
