90 Second Ab Video

I'm always looking for new exercise ideas and today I came across this video. You have to check it out. If you're looking for quick moves that will tone & sculpt, these will do the trick. The instructions are to do each move for 30 seconds back to back, for a total of 90 seconds. Then, rest 90 seconds and repeat it three to four times.

Runners' Strength Training Workout

This workout consists of 7 different exercises designed to target key muscles for runners, including the quads, glutes, calves, hip flexors, and core muscles. Do the first 4 exercises for 30 seconds, the planks for 1 minute, and then 20 push-ups (You can do less or more, depending on level of fitness). I recommend doing 3 sets, 2-3 times per week (on non-consecutive days). It's probably best to save this workout for your non-run days. If you're a beginner you may want to take a 30 second break between each exercise, but the goal is to go from one exercise to the next without stopping until you've done them all. Then, take a 1 minute break and do the circuit again. Strength training is essential for runners. Do this workout to feel stronger, run faster, and have less injuries.
