I never thought I would say this...but I love to run. For myself and many others it has become a great way to relieve stress, exercise, and get outdoors. It’s freeing. If you want to be able to keep running and be able to run well, it is critical to establish a regular strength training routine.

Running is a single leg dynamic exercise and it takes a strong body to be able to handle the forces from running. Running can expose imbalances that already exist or create new ones. Having weak muscles in your hips, feet/ankles, knees and core muscles can overload your system and put too much stress on your body and lead to nagging aches and pains that eventually turn into injuries - think hip pain, knee pain, foot pain, shoulder pain etc. If you want to continue to run throughout your lifetime, it’s critical that a strength training program accompanies your running program along with a proper warm-up before each run.

My FREE PDF contains ten of my favorite exercises to help improve stability, lower body strength, and core strength and will also help you to continue to run well, improve your running, and strengthen your body. The best part?! This PDF is extremely home workout friendly, requires minimal equipment, and is a great resource for postpartum women looking to get back into running.

In this PDF I combine my own running experiences, my prior knowledge as a strength training coach, and combine it some new information that I learned during my PCES course (postpartum corrective exercise specialist), making it a great resource for everybody, including postpartum women!
