Thanks to BBB users' posts, I'm on Week 8 of C25K (yay!) and Week 9 of 5:2. Now I want to increase muscle to make me a stronger runner and person, and increase metabolic calorie burn rate. After C25K I think I should do the Drop Two Sizes program, but want to do this at home. Thinking to get the DVD set as I could more easily follow the exercises rather than keep referring back to the book, and substitute the metabolic workouts with jogging/running. I'd like to stay with 5:2 instead of follow Rachel Cosgrove's meal plans. ETA: I'm now thinking of getting the Bodypump set instead, as it looks simpler to do at home with just the barbell and free weights. Still get a foam roller for self-massage?
