Strength and Mobility Drills for Runners
Forget standard yoga poses. I use buckets, chairs, and plyometrics to build the functional strength every athlete needs. Let's get FITTER, FASTER, STRONGER.
No fancy gym equipment needed. Here’s a full-body workout using just a bucket for resistance. We do rows, tricep extensions, and even chest presses to build raw strength you can use on the road or trail.
A look at one of my Pilates for Core sessions. This whiteboard shows a typical workout structure, followed by demonstrations of exercises like the classic 100s and leg stretches designed to build a rock-solid core.
Here’s a peek at my workout planning. I design sessions that mix HIIT, plyometrics, and weighted core exercises to keep things challenging and effective. You can see the variety, from Tabata-style jump squats to weighted Russian twists.
Who knew a pillow could be such a great workout tool? This is a fun but intense sequence using a pillow for resistance in lunges, squats, and core work. It proves you can get a great workout anywhere.
Stick mobility exercises are fantastic for improving shoulder health and thoracic spine mobility, which are often neglected by runners. This reel shows how we use simple tools to unlock a greater range of motion.
Having some fun while focusing on building strength. This collage shows different bicep curl variations and a reminder that building a strong posterior chain, or "booty," is essential for powerful running.
About Strength & Mobility Drills
My sessions are strictly for those who want to fix their biomechanics and build real-world strength. Whether we are using a bucket for resistance or working on IT band mobility, the focus is on injury prevention and performance gains you can actually feel on your next run.
My approach to strength and mobility isn't about incense and gentle stretching. It is raw, functional work designed to keep you on the road and off the physio table. I focus on mobility drills for runners, specifically targeting tight IT bands, hip flexors, and spinal health.
Why use expensive gym gear when a bucket, a pillow, or a simple stick works just as well? I incorporate household props to simulate the resistance and instability you face in real-world movement. Whether it is plyometrics for explosive power or weighted core exercises to hold your posture during a long run, these sessions are designed to push you.
We train in groups, either live online or outdoors in places like Cubbon Park and Whitefield. The Champions tribe holds each other accountable. We don't just work out; we do 108 Surya Namaskars, we sweat through HIIT, and we fix our form in real-time. Yoga se he hoga!
