    There are several floor exercises you can do to help with toning. Planks, squats etc. Yoga is good as well. Check out runnersworld.com and they can give you a lot of suggestions on core work. Looks like you have a good plan for your cardiovascular training with running. I usually work on core work 3 x week to help stay strong so I can keep running injury free. I hope this helps.:smile:

    Body weight exercises are great for strength/resistance training. I would also suggest getting some dumbbells and a resistance band and doing strength exercises with those at home. I do all my strength training at home because I can't afford the gym. I chose a variety of exercises from dumbbell-exercises.com and searched for resistance band exercises as well.
