Since I started strength training with a personal trainer back in March, I’ve received many reader questions regarding workouts. Due to popular request, I asked my trainer to provide two different workouts, especially perfect for runners, that readers can do either at home or in their local gym. The great thing about the body weight workout is that it requires NO props or tools. This is the perfect workout for a business traveler or someone who doesn’t currently belong to a gym.
I hope you enjoy these workouts as much as I did last week while my trainer was out of town!
Body-weight workout (15 repetitions, 4 times through):
Burpee (10 reps)
Push Up
Lateral Lunge
Alternating Side Lunge
Inverted Row
Plank Hold (1 Min)
Leg Raises
Weighted workout (15 repetitions, 3 times through):
*Chose a weight that is challenging for the last 2-3 repetitions of each set
Split Squat (Stationary Lunge)
Pull Up
Dumbbell Deadlift
Dumbbell Curl and Press
Front Squat
Medicine Ball Trunk Twist
Superhero
If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I can ask my trainer!
