We all know that becoming a better runner takes more than just logging endless miles; building strength in your lower body is essential for improving performance and reducing injuries. This six-move circuit from ultra runner and certified running coach, Yana Strese, targets the muscles in your hips, knees and glutes to help enhance your movement patterns and bulletproof your body. The best part? You can do it almost anywhere, no equipment required.
“Building a solid lower body foundation not only improves power and speed, but also aligns your posture, helping to correct muscle imbalances that can lead to pain and postural issues,” Strese writes on her post. It also enhances stability and endurance, allowing you to move more efficiently, so that your body isn’t just more resilient for your runs, but also to tackle everyday activities.
