Functional Strength Training for Running: 10 Foundation Building Exercises

[MrSkinnyBox]

lol omg could you imagine seeing someone do this at the gym

wow..

[rockydevildog]

MUTE

[scottyroyale]

its amazing that despite the title even stating strength work FOR RUNNING,all these f$*ktard bodybuilding throwbacks watch this & get all bitchy cos they wanna see some other faggy musclemary flexing. nice progressions bruz,a little evolution of some common multidirectionals with the arm swings,creative replication of the bodyweight forces that can challenge hip/knee/ankle stability during running. I'm an exercise physiologist, might even borrow a few for my healthier clients ;)

[lesleywills1]

Whoops Even better with tri plane loading is what I meant

[lesleywills1]

Good progression and functional for running I use this with my runners now have gone minimalist myself and works ven better with trip

[knightianuncertainty]

Is this a joke? You look like a strong faggot brah. Do you even lift?

[kbray003]

Do you have to swing your arms like that?

[ChanoGonzo]

do we have to listen to the same music whiel we workout or?

[ridicm]

The potential for injury doing this scares me, I mean, injury from the dudes at the gym who will kick my ass.

[MrRDMulli]

I get the whole dynamic strength thing you are going for but without some proper coaching and cues these will get messy quick.... One fitness progressional to another...

[radiationrising]

As much as I'm sure this routine would make me a better runner I can't imagine rocking out like this in the gym. Good for you though, you pull it off for sure!

[StrongLikeSusan]

On the transverse lunge your foot should stay planted forward! Otherwise you are just doing another front lunge.

[Demolitionman86]

Oo ?!

[MoonlightLilith]

Kinda odd looking with all the twisting and quick swings. Some balance excercises and really understanding your neutral body posture and how to maintain overall posture while doing these movements will reduce the likelyhood of an injury if you try this. Perhaps you should develop a "pre training" video before recomending this to your beginners audience. Great stuff though! I may try this!

[wturri78]

I'm sure these exercises will really strengthen me...and make a better cheerleader.

[shlokda]

@wturri78 LMAO

[yourajerk456]

14 people couldnt do it

[egmixere]

iam here for STRENGTH TRAINING not for fucken feminine training

[hazey55]

@egmixere tit

[igedwards]

The only thing that would make this better is Richard Simmons doing the workouts

[Marxama]

3:00 looks like someone reeaally reluctant to do a forward flip

[igedwards]

@Marxama haha, i just shot milk out of my nose picturing that

[kornyfo0l]

I have noticed the degree of valgus forces to the knees in those exercises. It has to be done very very good form or else you're likely to injure your meniscii

[MrStefron]

runners with I.T band issues should be careful with these. 

[gratitube2]

seriously... food for thought and inspiration for next time I'm at the gym... thanks

[gratitube2]

great video... pretty sure I incorporate all these moves already when I'm at the disco already though...

[vanillagxg]

awesome . tks man !

[DINOBRAV69]

These 10 excercises has dramatically improved my running form and even my squating ability in the weight room. My knees, ankles and hamstrings have never felt this good. I even got my son doing them and he's noticed an increase in kicking ability in Karate.

[emspree]

this is very scary! anyone can get injured with this exercises.

[priced80]

@emspree yeah i dont reckon you should jump straight to the hopping exercises. Maybe build up to it with smaller jumps. Looks like a sprained ankle waiting to happen.

[ldoggyg]

This guy has terrible balance and the exercises are ridiculous. Don't waste your time!

[ekace33]

very good job .... personal trainer and barefootrunner from germany

[andyandlou]

THIS WHOLE THING IS STUPID

[pgjr00]

At 2:26 that guy in the background is thinking WTF?

Great video - shame I had to mute it.

[sausmikat]

Great! But are you avoiding heel strike in the end?

[NorthWriter]

@sausmikat I don't think these exercises are about heel strike. I think it's more about building up calf strength and joint flexibility. Avoiding heel strike happens more once you start running.

[ThePandaThug]

Great workout. But looks a little weird. =/. Gay music. =)

[gregcset]

Good exercises, but do them barefoot and bit slower/less reps/duration to get stronger, after the core distortion(hip imbalance) is improved/fixed.

[za71301]

Awesome video. Thank you so much for posting. Just starting to run again and will definitely be incorporating these into my routine.

[urbanosowich]

Hahah, Is that Ben Stiller?

Why would sidways and twisting hops be beneficial to runners? If anythjing, you will sustain an injury.

Meanwhile here in Morocco, we run in circles around you Westerners....without any silly Ben Stiller jumps

[rt3tre20]

@urbanosowich your comment is foolish. Running is a dynamic sport which requires the transfer of power diagonally across the body. Force generated from the ground is transferred across the abdominals, which means rotation is important. Why else do you think we drive with opposite arm than leg?

Not to mention the more motor recruitment you are able to teach the body's nervous system by including movements other than linear, the more motor recruitment during running.

[jamez2white]

bro your videos are great!

[ashleynoel1991]

this looks like something I would love to do to build my running foundation.. But I am curious as to how long you should do each exercise for and the amount of days. Such as everyday or every other day?

[koltanya]

super

[kaberg92]

Looks very interesting... and fun... but i am always very careful in adapting exercises i find on the Internet.

if any1 knows more sources surrounding these exercises plz Give me a link

[Maribelru]

Dude you rock! These are great exercises and fun to do!
