Pure Strength
Level: Beginner
Duration: 6 weeks
Each week you have:
3 strength training workouts (bodyweight and weights)
1 mobility workout
Program Details: This is a great strength training program for a beginner-level runner to use as cross-training for an existing running schedule, or for non-runners who just want to work on improving mobility, joint health and muscular strength. I would recommend prior experience with using weights, but you can substitute a kettlebell for a dumbbell for these workouts. All the exercises in this program aim to improve the following: core strength, muscular endurance, unilateral stability, joint health and range of motion.
Equipment:
10-20lb+ dumbbell or kettlebell, mini resistance bands (purchase HERE), a box or bench, and a mat.
