The Best Core Exercises For Runners
Your core effects your whole body. The stronger your core the better form you have when running. Good form will help you to prevent knee pain and injury. Level: Intermediate Begin on your back with feet about 12 inches from your buttocks and hands by your sides with palms down. Press your heels into the ground and lift your pelvis up until your knees, pelvis, and shoulders form a straight line. Hold your bridge while you lift your right knee toward your chest, until your hip is at 90 degrees. Return the heel to the floor and lift the left knee. Do not let your pelvis sag or your back over-arch while lifting and lowering your knees. This completes one rep.
Glute Bridge With Marching
Do two sets of six reps.
Works: glutes, hamstrings, and spinal muscles in the lower back.
If this is too challenging, try bridge exercise without lifting your knees.
