What Was Your Work Out Today?
I am often going on to Instagram to get work out ideas, as I follow a few trainers who post videos. I work out 5-6 days a week and like to mix it up & try new things. I thought I would start a discussion and have people post their work outs. Maybe give each other some good ideas! If I stick with the same thing over and…

Avoid scales entirely and just focus on measurements?
All I've done during the last 6 years of getting 6stone off (about 38kg) is lose weight but never focused on any exercise whatsoever.

Couch to 5K (C25K) beginners group

Balancing running and leg strength training for optimal performance
Hey everyone, I've been primarily a runner (15-20 miles per week) for the past few years, but I'm starting to realize my leg strength isn't where it should be.
