The Programme, week 5: Rachel's comments
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This week's been easier; I had plenty of time to do my exercies. I'm not doing my course any more. It has been enjoyable to do exercise during the day. I spent a few days in Devon, so I was running in a different place which made it a bit more exciting. It does feel like a good habit but I'm a bit of a stickler for wanting to do the same exercises - I find it difficult when the exercises are changed every week. It makes it more interesting, but I'd want half-a-dozen core exercises. I find myself doing all the old exercises as well as the new ones. I find the run helps me to warm up for all the exercises. And I'm never stiff or sore from the exercises - the shin splints that I had at the start have gone.
Remarkably, I have been stringent about eating three meals a day, which I never used to do. First, you don?t get that craving between meals; second, I haven?t eaten as much at the meals, which balances my energy levels. I feel more energetic. Egg or porridge for breakfast has been great.
