Strength training

Probably an integral part of a workout. I am glad to be sucked into this in the gym. Strength training builds muscle, shapes and tones the body and the muscle is what really helps carry your body weight!!!!Plus, it looks a lot tighter than equal amount of fat! So yeah there are several reasons for doing it. The beauty of this is that you can use your body weight to begin with. Squats, ham string curls, leg extensions and some calf raises are great!!!
All of these have helped me get over my Runner's Knee especially the leg extensions. Last week i completed an 8 mile run with walk breaks and felt good.The moment I dont do them for a few weeks I can feel a difference. So lets make Strength training part of our routine while the rest is happening.

Have fun!
