What's so important about toning up your midsection? Well, other than the obvious reason, which is that lots of gals like to look hot and svelte in their bikini, strengthening your core helps you sit taller, look more lean, and prevents back injuries.
Not stretching after a good run will definitively set you up for injury or muscular pain. While stretching before a workout lubricates your joints to prepare them for work, stretching afterwards helps prevent you from building too much bulk so you get long, lean muscles, and so your tensed up muscles can relax again.
It's been proven that your body adjusts to any new workout you start doing within a week. Though that means less muscle aches and pain for you, it also means less results.
Breathing oxygen is an extremely important component of staying alive, right? Well, the same goes for running. If you're not breathing properly, you're running is going to suffer.

Lateral lifts are an excellent exercise because they tone multiple parts of the body at the same time, saving you workout time if you're busy and offering excellent results.

That's a pretty big result for such a simple move.

So you've finally created a nice body-toning workout that consists of all the exercise your body needs to burn calories and stay slim: Push-ups, bicycle crunches, thigh lifts, lateral arm lifts, and shoulder presses.
