Opis

The first complete core exercise training plan specifically for runners. There are thousands of core exercises available out there, but without a plan they won't take you very far. Getting a stronger core needs more than random exercise-of-the-week, or a single great routine. You can't do the same routine week after week to progress. You know it doesn't work that way when you are training to run either. If you are middle-aged or have an injury to manage, doing random exercises in fits and starts can actually put you at risk for injury. Building a strong core specifically for running is done the same way you train for running: gradually, in logical progressions that build a base of stability before increasing complexity, speed or endurance. You don't just want to go faster, further or over cooler terrain. You want to move better, have healthy joints, avoid injury. This book contains a week-by-week six week progressive training plan, with new exercises introduced each week. No more need to guess how many to do, whether you are doing the exercises correctly, or when it's time to move on. No more boredom. You start seeing results quickly. This book is suitable for competitive runners, as well as amateur joggers; walkers and hikers. (Anyone propelling themselves on their own two feet, needs core strength to support joint health and movement.) Many of the exercises and progressions have been used successfully in a back injury rehab program, and with competitive and distance athletes. The workout plan wraps up with a guide to help you continue your core training so that it is fun, effective, and smart. Once you have completed this plan, you will know how to choose and combine other exercises you find, to maintain and build your core strength and running stamina 'smart'.
