Simple Strength Workout for Runners
Here’s my strength training program that was featured in Self Magazine’s online publication self.com.
I designed this workout for all the new runners lacing up during the pandemic. But even if you aren’t new to running, this is a great way to start strength training.
The 8 exercises in this workout are:
Glute Bridge
Dead Bug
Step-Up + Knee Raise
Lateral Lunge Shift (side squat)
Elevated Push Up
Forearm Side Plank Hip Dip
Forearm Plank Rock (body saw)
Superman with arm extension
Self Magazine has great demos for each exercise. In the article I explain why strength training is so important for runners and how to perform each exercise.
