weight training?

Question

hey ladies! so last year before I got pregnant I was doing the fitgirls meal plan and running. I wvwntuslly worked up to running 25 miles a week and got down to 165. it was awesome. however, I got pregnant just had our son 3 months ago and am back to running mostly 5ks 6 times a week. I am back down to 178 but I'm looking for something more. I'd like a program that would tone muscles but have no clue where to start. I don't want to stop running either. it's my quiet time to think about life lol

Answer

I'm not a runner at all. I am PP baby 3. I'm down 22.4 lbs today BELOW my baby weight with healthy eating and exercise. I did PIYO first. Now I'm doing the exercises for the 21 Day Fit now which require weights and strength training. I'm one week in and I like it a lot! It's my first time using weights to build muscle and it's very manageable for a newbie.

Answer

I have a membership with Orange Theory- been going for about 1 year now, love it! First half is cardio- power walk, jog, or run at your pace, the instructor takes you thru either a strength (hills), endurance (longer sprints), power (bursts of sprint pace). Second half of class is weights (they give u exercises to do). Great commraderie, motivation, and calorie buster (400+ calories per class depending on type of class). Hope this helps! Let me know if you try it out!
Also-- any tips for weight loss and running? How to build up to run longer distances?
