Mobility & core strength workout for runners
Looking after your core is about way more that sit-ups and glute bridges Workout created by Anne-Marie Lategan
When we think about improving our core strength for running, we often only think about doing different types of stomach exercises. In fact, your core muscles are so much more than just stomach muscles. Think of your core as a tin can. In front, you have your outer and deeper stomach muscles, and on the sides your inner and outer side muscles (obliques). At the back you have your back muscles. The top and bottom of the can is made up of inner and outer thighs, glutes and pelvic floor, and finally, at the top, you have your diaphragm.
To improve your running, you want all of these muscles to work together as a unit.
Warm-up
Swing your leg 20 times forwards and backwards. Follow this with 30 seconds of bum kicks and finish off with 10 arm rotations forwards and backwards.
