PodcastStrength Exercises for Runners
Written By Ali Marty

Season 1 Episode 53 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m talking about how to strengthen your glutes without squats and lunges.

Squats and lunges are the most common recommended exercises for runners to strengthen their glutes. But, not everyone wants to do squats and lunges, especially if their knee really hurts with squats and lunges... for that runner I outline exactly what to do instead of those exercises and strengthen your glutes.

In this episode I go over the 3 types of strengthening your workout should include:

Activate, Stabilize, Strengthen

I go over the different positions you need to workout your glutes including:

  • Standing

  • Single leg stance

  • Laying on your belly

  • Laying on your back

  • Laying on your side

    And how to activate, stabilize and strengthen your glutes in those different positions.
