Workout Routines

definitelyval

Happy Friday! I'm working on adjusting my workouts. I'm about to finish up my C25K - YAY!! - and I want to keep running as my regular cardio, but I want to add in strength training. What is everyone doing? What does your workout week look like? I'm hearing alot about HIIT, and definitely want to try it, but need some good suggestions of to actually DO. I am doing the 30-Day Shred, but I don't like that cardio in between the strength and abs, so I'm modifying it just a bit. Anyway, I'd love to see what your rountines look like!

Hey friend! Not sure if you go to a gym now but if you do check out their classes. If they offer Body Pump or something similar, I would definitely try that. That was the class that first got me comfortable with the idea of weights. I think they also have DVDs but I am not 100% sure on that one.
