Exercise Snacks - Small Moves, Big Impact for Busy Runners
Struggling to fit strength work into your busy schedule? Exercise snacks—30 seconds to 5 minutes of strategic movement—are the time-pressed runner's secret weapon for building durability and preventing injury.
In this episode, you'll discover what these mini-workouts actually accomplish (and what they don't), how to seamlessly integrate them into your packed day using anchor habits, and the five exercise categories that give runners the most bang for their buck. Plus, learn why planks are the ultimate exercise snack and how the Hold Strong, Run Long challenge can help you build consistency starting February 1st.
