We love to run because…well, it’s awesome! We love to lift (kinda) because we know it makes us run faster! 😉 We love to stretch it all out with a little yoga!
While working out with weights might not be our favorite thing to do, we lift because it makes us stronger, gives us power during our runs, and supplies us with that little extra oomph to get across the finish line. Channel your inner power lifter today and go hard!
Today is arm strength day…and it’s a doozy! 4 sets of 10 + a Low Plank with Arm Reach. You CAN do this. Take it one set at a time and don’t skimp out with the lower weights. Pick up the heaviest ones you have and get your PUMP ON!
Day 23 exercises: 4 sets of 10 + Plank
- Bicep Curl
- Shoulder Press
- Hammer Curl
- Tricep Overhead Press
- Low Plank with Arm Reach – :60
Bonus: #SlenderSexyArms
I like this arm bonus with today’s workout because it gets our arms moving in a different way. in between your sets of our regular arm exercises. So do 1 set of the exercises above then throw in one #SlenderSexyArms then another set of Day 23…and so on. Skip the jumping part of the jumping jacks and just focus on the arm portion up and down in jumping jack motion. Keep your arms tight and don’t go to fast.
Long runs are coming up so today is a great day to stretch it out with our 7 Key Stretches for Runners or June’s Yoga for Runners. Either routine will feel great after your run today….and get you ready to go long this weekend.
May Challenge Winner: I dragged my feet on it this month because there were so many people who finished all 30 days of May and I couldn’t decide who the medal should go to… but I finally came up with someone who more than deserves the prize. This person has worked hard for months and months…been with us since the beginning, consistently does bonus workouts, running drills, speed work AND stretching. They are super sweet hearted and love to cheer everyone on. Check out the video in Strong to the Core to find out who killed it in May, give them a big congratulations, and thank them for always being supportive. 🙂 
Heading out for a long with Paula this morning and it’s gonna be a hot so keep us in your thoughts! See you on the other side of 18 miles!
When you get up and get moving today remember that your attitude in the morning will set the tone for the whole day. Be positive and good things will come!
How heavy is your purse? Mine is ridicules! Seriously… I don’t even know what makes it so heavy, but when I look…there’s nothing I can take out.

“If running’s your thing, it can’t be your only thing if you want to be fit. That’s like saying you’re going to get all your nutrition from a single food.”
