The Programme, week 2: Trainer's comments on Jo

Neal Chamberlain: Jo has managed to get out for at least three brief walks which involve quite a few hills and she needs to progress this week to gentle jogging.

Jo is getting to grips with the exercises and has ordered some bands and a gymball, to help with continuity in her programe. This is a sign of her determination to make the most of the programme.

Jo's progress is realistic and her overall aerobic fitness will come with time by overloading the body gradually week by week, increasing the intensity of her workouts. After struggling with the weights initially and finding them quite tough, her muscles will get used to the movements and improve quickly in the first couple of weeks.
