Runners will benefit from focusing on upper body a Runners will benefit from focusing on upper body and core exercises. Not to build bulging biceps or a six pack (unless that is your goal). So why in the world do runners need to spend precious time on upper body and core exercises? There are 2 main reasons why you need to pay attention to building a stronger upper body and core: 1️⃣Improve Pelvic Stability: Many upper body and core muscles are involved in providing pelvic stability when your foot contacts the ground and you push off in your stride. The muscles that control how much your pelvis moves (hello abdominal muscles, I am looking at you) need to be strong to handle the forces coming through your body when you run. and 2️⃣Control Rotation: This means that you don’t want to be swinging your arms and excessively rotating your torso side to side. Your oblique muscles need to know how to control the rotation through your thoracic spine. And the planks are prime exercises for teaching your body how to not over rotate or arch your low back. Don’t neglect your upper body and core. If you need help with a “done for you” upper body workout (and lower body), join the Stronger Movement app at www.strongermovement.com or click link in bio.
Runners need strong calves to help push their bodi Runners need strong calves to help push their bodies off the ground to keep moving forward. If you take a look inside the back of your lower leg, you would find two muscles that make up the calf: the gastrocnemius (that usually gets the attention) and the soleus (the actual workhorse of the calf muscles). These muscles join to form the Achilles tendon which gives you most of your “springlike” recoil with every step. A key difference in strength training programs for runners is the focus on calf strengthening. Don’t neglect spending time on this muscle group. If you need help with how to fit calf exercises into a full strength workout, let me help! Join the Stronger Movement app and get complete workouts. No guesses. No random workouts.

Does doing chest presses bother your shoulders?   Does doing chest presses bother your shoulders?   If so, play with the position of your elbows during a chest press by bringing your elbows in closer to the sides of your body.   Think in terms of gradually moving your elbows in rather than extremes end points of your  elbows wide or elbows in. Try a few reps as you work your elbows in by 10-15 degrees and feel the difference.   Keep in mind the closer your elbows are to your body, the more work shifts to the triceps so you might not want to use less weight than you would for a more traditional chest press with the elbows wide.   While everyone’s arm length and shoulder width is different, you might find moving your elbows in feels better.  Or simple use a Chest Press with Elbows In as a fun variation. Try it out. The Chest Press with Elbows In is included in one of the upper body workouts for the month of March in the Stronger Movement app. Sign up to get the entire workout along with others.
