Those who posted had success, and I am excited that @marieb is going to integrate her 5-5-5 with a bike and do her 15 minutes three times a day. Then the second week, I hope she will add more time, as the Mayo plan calls for, but she has to do what's right for her.
It makes me happy that if we can just get started, we can modify the plan to fit each person's need. I think Mayo probably intended that. Some people may not be able to start with 15 minutes; some may do more. But just getting started is the key. If one person feels excited about exercising, then it's worth it. I didn't answer you immediately because I didn't know and waited to see if anyone would post. Now you can read their posts and mine and see what you think. I believe it's a good addition.

@retiredteacher as I mentioned before I did the treadmill on Thursday, using the 5 minutes slower, then 5 minutes faster, for 25 minutes. Yesterday I was in the pool so my “walking” was pool jogging. I went to the gym today and was tight for time so I did the prescribed 15 minutes. During my treadmill session my L shin got really sore. I wonder if that’s a sign that I need new sneakers. It has not happened before with those sneakers. Interestingly I bought expensive sneakers ($130) and they bother my shins a lot. The ones I love are sketchers that I bought in marshall’s for about $30! They have been great but maybe the cushioning has broken down, I’ve had them for quite a while.
