Don't worry BBT053, I agree. Running isn't for everyone, and there's a risk of getting obsessive and overdoing it. I know I know, gotta get some weight training in there as well, sigh..

The plan is running one morning (love it), weight training the next (hate it). Thanks for the google reference.

Aw, I feel for you. Maybe a quicker bodyweight routine, so that's it's not so tedious? Look at Crossfit for ideas, not the extreme workouts, more the structure and variety as it's as effective as hours in the gym, but much quicker timewise.

I'm now using P90X Shoulders and Arms, it's a good workout video focusing on dumbbell exercises... though I must confess I'm using very light weights compared to the people in the video . Also from P90X, the Ab Ripper video is worth to try.

Goodluck!

Hot yoga.

To learn weight training at home I really needed a video to guide me. You can borrow such videos from your public library and review them at home. Once you find one you like, you can order it from Amazon or some such. It's also helpful to look at the online descriptions and reviews (easier if you rank the list by "review")

To avoid boredom: once you learn the routine, you can mute the sound and listen to music, news, or audio books while firming up those muscles.

Good luck! It can be done once you find the way that suits you best.
