I have recently taken up jogging as my form of exercise. I love it. I also do weights training for my upper body. Should I be doing weight training for my lower body as well. I feel like it is getting toning from running. Any advice? Opinions?

I've read that if you're running as your primary cardio exercise, you won't need to put as much effort into strength training your lower body, but you should do it. From what I understand, running tends to really develop the quadriceps, and I've read that to help yourself stay injury free it's good for female runners to make sure they strength train their hamstrings and inner thighs to balance out the increase in the other muscles. Hope this helps a bit.
