RunFromClowns Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi All! I just completed W1D2 of C210K. I plan to follow the walk/run plan on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. I'm trying to lose some weight (so I don't feel like an elephant clomping around during my runs) so I want to cross train on Wed & Thurs too. Any suggestions??? Would using an ellyptical machine be too stressful for my legs? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi There, Cross Training to me is using any other form of exercise you want to do. I posted below some links that you can look at that will help you choose. http://www.runnersworld.com/tag/cross-training http://www.runnersworld.com/photos/16-cross-training-activities-to-try I run 3-4 days a week with the app. Other days I will use my Recumbent Bike, lift weights, hike, Lifting weights to gain strength is my favorite and it burns amazing calories. I am so sore today after getting back to my workouts on monday. Hope this helps. Keep me posted. Hugs RunFromClowns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azatol Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi RunFromClowns, I also love the name. I'd just like to comment on one section of what you said and that's dropping some pounds. Folks have probably heard Kelly and I repeat this like a broken record but Paleo is where it's at! If you learn to eat Paleo and keep running, you wont have to worry about pounds or calorie counting. They'll just fall off of you, along with your clothes so make sure you have some money stashed for more. LOL Diet is 80% of weight loss! BTW 40 pounds since August doing exactly what I told you. Paleo + exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Right on Azatol, it is one of the best! If you look at it, it is healthy eating. I love the Meditteranean Diet too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
