Of the many mistakes I’ve made in my years of running (cough attempting to run without a sports bra when I forgot one…painful) the one thing that’s always been part of my routine is a full body dynamic warm up, yes that includes the glutes!
Let’s talk about not just warming up for a run, but how do you warm up for a glute workout! I’ve got a full routine for you below.
I’ve shared with you a dynamic warm up and even my 5 minute get you out the door in winter warm up.
They’re both pretty basic and designed largely to warm up my muscles, but not waste time because well…I think that’s why most runners completely skip the warm up. Time.
None the less it’s SO FREAKING important.
Working with a performance coach after knee surgery, I realized that I could actually take my running up a notch by improving the quality of my warm up. Again, I know, you don’t feel like you have time.
BUT, what if a better warm up:
- Allows you to run faster with the same effort
- Ensures you remain injury free
- Allows you to run farther with the same effort
- Helps you to engage more muscles
- Helps to prevent muscle imbalances
- Improves post workout recovery
Well, shucks when you point out all…
