Let's be honest...

Some of the strength training you see from running influencers can be...exciting to watch

And not entirely practical.

It's super cool to see what the pros or even stellar amateur runners are doing!

But we can get ourselves into trouble trying to chase or keep up with strava-fame.

So here me out...

This week's circuit is for 3 different runners.

(and if one of these isn't you right now, please still stick around.)

But I wanted to make something different. new. and very specific.

If you are a runner who:

• is very tentative, new to strength training, and maybe nervous to even start since you're worried you might hurt yourself because your squat isn't perfect
• OR you consider yourself a more mature, master's age, older runner who might be starting to feel a little arthritis in your knees or hips and these crazy-looking strength exercises are not a realistic place for you to start
• OR you're a runner whose struggle-busing back from maybe a couple injuries and you need somewhere to start, something to do! to help you get back to running but you need a variety of options to make an exercise easier or harder based on pain levels...

I got you.

All of you.*fistbump*

I've written a short but VERY customizable quad and glute circuit that can be adapted for the crankiest of knees and hips but still help you build the quad and glute strength you need to:

to get back to running

or

keep running

or

help you tap into this new sport of running you're just starting to fall in love with ;)

What makes these so special and different from all the other exercises out there or any of the other countless circuits I've put together is they're FOOL PROOF. ​

no really.

I'm pulling from my years of practicing as a physical therapist in the clinic and giving you the countless tips and tricks I've learned to help you nail your form in 5mins. ​

(technically less than 5 mins since the video is shorter than that.)

I want you to feel confident.

Empowered.

Like you CAN begin strength train like a runner, even if you've never tried before and you're just starting out.

You got this ;)

And I've got an even better pep talk in this weeks' blog in addition to the exercises, so let's head on over.

Can't wait to see you over there!
