Fitness Friday Fact #30


Growing up, I was the furthest thing to a runner.  I "walked" during my middle school track tryout and "huffed and puffed" when attempting to jog with my pre-season soccer training cousin.  Today, however, my love for lacing up keeps me on the treadmill daily. 

My passion for this form of cardio exercise unfortunately leaves me at risk for injury and does not help to improve my overall strength.  If you can relate, we are not alone, as this tends to be the case for most runners.  Fear not, as there is a simple fix that will keep our sneakers striding! 

Active.com writer, Jeff Horowitz, recently shared this Total Body Strength Training Exercise.  In the article, Horowitz claims that this "kind of strength training, will make you a stronger, more injury resistant runner!"
