Core strength for runners isn’t just about getting that 6-pack… at least not just about that 🙂 Use this quick running challenge to ditch those collapsing hips and other bad run form habits in a matter of weeks.
As runners, you’re doing a lot of the same thing. Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot …
Some days a little faster, some days a little slower, some days up a hill, some days on a track…
Dialing in that run form needs to be an EVERYDAY, conscious effort.
Fatigue will always find you… so training your body to counteract it on its own is HUGE.
For many of us, one of the first things to suffer is the hip position as you transfer weight from one leg to the other.
Sitting into each hip becomes more and more exaggerated, creating all kinds of new impact for the knees, ankles, and feet to deal with.
Increased core strength can minimize those effects!
Here’s how this will work:
And that’s it!
The amount your hips collapse when you run will directly mirror the amount your hips twist open as you transfer between the plank and downward dog.
ALSO: shaking in the low abdomen is totally NORMAL and a good sign of work left to be done!Â
Give this challenge a try once a week to keep track of your progress! You’ll see a difference in your running (and knee, ankle and foot pain) in no time!
