Gav, yeah 3 a week most weeks. Problem is even with that, I'm not slim or toned really so wondered if I should be doing more? Or harder stuff? Or should I add in specific session just for Abs/Obliques to help strengthen my core and tone up? What is apparent at races and club is that I'm pretty big for a runner and I think my times would get better if I wasnt so ..'chunky'. I hoped that doing cross training in classes as well as running would make me smaller i.e less fat, more toned etc.. but it doesn't seem to have.

I am going to try and get some sort of result by January by being 100% consistent and work really hard with it all as well as running.

I will follow this thread and others' progress and see what ideas, inspiration I can get from you all :-)

Phew!! That wasnt too bad, managed about 45 seconds on each exercise. Anything that involves the 'v shape' had me toppling over, definite work needed there. I reckon this one will do me though, like the fact i dont have to count or time cause the gut does it for me!

Starting with just a 10 min workout a couple of times a week is a good way to get started. Make core work a *habit*, like going for a run :)

I spend far too much time on Fetch - I'm always around to give people a kick if they want! :P
