So tomorrow is week 1:3

My shins are a little achy but all in all I'm actually looking forwards to it. I lost 5stone 10lb last year without exercise.This year my goal is to get fit!! I'm so determined.. Will The running help me tone up too?

Thanks a lot

Katie

Light strength training would be more effective for toning, likewise a diet suited to your specific needs and an adequate protein intake, but any form of exercise whilst in a calorie deficit will aid fat loss and muscle tone to an extent. It's not the most efficient method but that depends on your goals and resources.

Best of luck.
