This short yoga routine will help stretch and strengthen your entire body, and the stretching movements will help loosen tight hips and leg and core muscles made sore by running (or working out). Tight muscles in these areas can affect your gait and potentially cause injury, so it's important to loosen these tight areas.
These simple yoga exercises will help alleviate stiffness and soreness in your lower body and help you get the most out of your running practice. (Plus the instructor is a hoot!) :-)
This short workout is great for runners to help you build strength in areas of your body that can help keep you in shape and avoid injury while running. These exercises will help strengthen your legs, hips, back, shoulders, and core.
You can do this workout with or without weights, and it will take you less than 10 minutes, so let's get up and get going!
This short workout will give you a strong core, which is essential for runners to avoid injury. Strengthening your core muscles helps give you better stability, balance and power.
Contrary to what some people think, the "core" doesn't just mean your abs - it also includes your back, butt, hips, and groin muscles. This short workout will work all of these muscles and more, for a firm, strong core - which is good whether you're a runner or not.
It's only 5 minutes long, so you can do it anytime, anywhere, but it will really make you burn!
