Resistance Band Workout for Runners

 

Okay, I know I’m a little runner-centric these days, but bear with me while I launch into all things marathon for the next couple of months! In the spirit of running, here’s a great resistance band workout for runners. Of course, even if you don’t run, you can definitely try this out! It’s great for strengthening around your knees and hips, keeping runners (and non-runners) less prone to injury. You can do this workout in your living room, or outside, or in the gym, or wherever you please.  Best of all, there’s very little required – just a resistance band and your fine self. It’s best to use a band that isn’t looped, so you can tie it around a stationary object for the knee extensions.
