do your S&C exercises in a circuit - you’ll be working more muscle groups and therefore toning more of your body.I know that exercise alone won’t shift the lbs but I’m looking to support the diet with it.
I’m doing couch25k and want to supplement it with some strength training.
Would you go for the lat pull down 3x12 route, or do the exercises in a circuit (10 weighted lunges, 10 dumbbell deadlift, etc, etc for 3 rounds) ?
I’m back to being a novice no not sure what’s best.
I’m currently doing couch to 5k too. I’m week three, where are you?I know that exercise alone won’t shift the lbs but I’m looking to support the diet with it.

I’m on week 4, but managed a 4K run with my running group so deffo working.I’m currently doing couch to 5k too. I’m week three, where are you?
I would definitely recommend kettlebells as an effective extra to add in. I would suggest getting a trainer at your gym to show you 3/4 exercises that you can do 3 reps of 10 of each in a circuit. You can hurt yourself with weights if you don’t know what you’re doing - don’t be scared to ask correct stance and posture . Everyone starts somewhere. I haven’t a clue how to deadlift but want to learn. If you can do conditioning classes that could be fun too
Ah amazing!! I start week three tonight. Im having to see a physio tomorrow as im getting such bad pain in my lower legs. Hope I can continue as I am actually enjoying it. I never ever ever thought I would as I have always absolutely HATED running!I’m on week 4, but managed a 4K run with my running group so deffo working.
I had a trainer for my wedding, so fairly comfortable with form. Just let it all go so have major anxiety about stepping back into the gym.
I've had all 3 books, doing the third atm and can highly recommendI would definitely recommend Chloe Madeley's books. I did her first one, the 4 Week Body Blitz, for 12 weeks (which you can as you can do the plan for longer if you want, she explains in the book) while doing Couch to 5k and lost 1.5 stone in 3 months, then another 1.5 stone the 3 months after as I had learned about nutrition and was running three times a week.
I've not got her new book but it's all about weightlifting and it does look great. She's a qualified PT and knows what she is talking about. She's the first person who has ever made a weight loss plan stick for me (I'm still maintaining my weight two years on) so would recommend her if you want to get into strength training

Oh no didn’t come across that way at all. Sort of seemed like I was biting back.Ah amazing!! I start week three tonight.

I never ever ever thought I would as I have always absolutely HATED running!
Just realised I sounded a bit patronising in my last comment, sorry. I totally get your anxiety about going back into the gym. Im trying to build myself up to go back to a HIIT class I used to do. I went weekly but stopped and know I would definitely be the most unfit of the group.
will have a look online for these. Thanks.I've had all 3 books, doing the third atm and can highly recommend
Thanks for moving this here. I would like to say I’m not looking to loose weight. I would just like to tone up and actually do some exercise to hopefully feel a bit better.Hi all,
Had a wee look and couldn’t see what I wanted (lots of body coach came up and that is definitely not what I want)
I was looking for recommendations for home workout YouTube videos. Stuff for beginners and fairly quick to do, two kids to fit around.
Quite like the idea of pilates, yoga, HIIT and maybe some weight stuff.
I downloaded the Nike training club app. It’s ace. It has individual workouts or it pulls them into programs. I’ve done a few and like them all.Hi all,

https://www.fitnessblender.com have all of that!! They have individual workout videos, which you can filter by length, type, intensity, low impact etc or they do programmes which are about $15 and they are yours for ever. The workouts are about 40 mins x5 a week. XHi all,
