So you want to add running to your exercise routine. Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Get your core in shape- Make sure you can exhale and kegel at the same time.
2. Work on your single leg squat (here’s a more official video)
3. Start slow. Just run 2-3 days per week and ease into it with a run/walk (we really recommend just 2 days per week). Gradually increase the running over the walking time. Keep the total time to around 30 minutes until you are able to run for the entire 30 minutes. Then gradually increase speed or distance. Not both.
4. Get a metronome app on your phone so your steps are even
5. Bring your chest down so the girls are pointing straight ahead and not up to the sky (run like you’re leaning intot he wind).
6. Make sure you’re landing more in the middle of your foot or the front of your foot instead of your heel.
7. Call us if your body still resists. Peeing with running is a sign that something is off. Hip, knee or foot pain is another sign that something is off. We can help you run your first or millionth 5k. The power is within you!!
