Im constantly reading about 'lifting heavy' but I don't want to go to a gym and can't afford the really heavy weights needed. I am within my healthy weight but want to lose weight. I am particularly unhappy with my torso.

Can I achieve my goals by running?

    I'm mixing running and and weights ( dumbbells only), abs and core exercises, seeing some results, but ever so slowly. But it seems to work. I don't really go to the gym, other than run on treadmill. My dumbbell was 2 kg each, and recently I bought another set of 3 kg. hope to get rid of my flapping wings.

    check out the book/app "You Are Your Own Gym" Great bodyweight exercises that you can do almost anywhere.

    In terms of toning: my legs look better than they ever had in my life. However, I still have a nice sized spare tire.
