Cross-Train Smart
Level: Beginner
Duration: 6 weeks
Each week you have:
1 strength training workout
1 prehab workout
1 mobility workout
Program Details: If you're looking to prevent common overuse injuries like knee pain, or IT band syndrome, strength train with more runner-specific exercises, and improve overall mobility and flexibility, this program will work great for you. You can add it into an existing running schedule, or if you're not a runner, it can serve as a great comprehensive approach to moving with more strength and efficiency. The exercises in this program aim to help you improve: core strength, unilateral stability, joint health, range of motion and muscular endurance.
Equipment:
Resistance bands (purchase HERE), a kettlebell (10-20lb+), can substitute a kb for a dumbbell, a box or bench, a mat, and a foam roller.
