Have fun
I really like the Insanity program.

It turns out that my walking and then running as far as possible, then walking and running again is called "interval training." he said that is much better for boosting metabolism than going flat out for a long period. It keeps your cardio going stronger and ramps up the metabolism.
I only know for sure that Tim's underpants fell down while he was working out, and now yesterday, my bra was so loose that it slipped up over my boobs while exercising. I have lost most of the pudginess under my arms and the bras are just too big now. YAY!!

Congratulations again
I do a lot of interval training as well. If you really want to be able to run a couple of kilometers: there are some pretty good 'start to run' schedules. You 'learn' to run 5 kilometers in 9 weeks. Every lesson is an interval training. You start with 1 or 2 minutes running followed by 1 or 2 minutes walking. Every lesson takes 20 to 40 minutes.
