6 Amazing Indoor Workouts For Runners
I have amazing news! I have linked up with 5 other amazing bloggers that you may recognize (and if you don’t you will be happy I introduced you!) and every month we will be bringing you a themed workout post. How cool is that? Not only are you getting an awesome post from ME but you are getting another five as well.
Pretty dope right?
To kick off our series we are talking about workouts that you can do at home. I have dedicated my own workout to my love of lunges. I love how quickly they get my heart up and how my legs involuntarily shake at the end of the workout! Plus it costs nothing to do lunges it’s a body weight exercise that does wonders for your running.
Checkout the lunge workout you can do at home, it is not easy—but your quads will thank you! Remember, the stronger your quads, the stronger your running will be!

Obviously I love this series! But, I have to say, all those lunges are making my legs shake just by looking at them. Of course I will have to try it 🙂 Lunge variety does make for powerful running. Thanks for your workout!!
Even though I am clearly not a runner, so need some help on my indoor workouts, so cannot thank you enough for sharing a few good ones here today, Nellie!! 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing your awesome workout to the round up! Strong, fierce ladies unite!!! And lunges? Oh my legs!
I love lunges! All those lunges make my legs quake just thinking about them but I know I’d be grateful for them on race day. I love this series and am so excited to try all of the workouts once my race is over in a few days!
Holy lunges, lady!! I can’t wait to try this (because I’m a crazy masochist, lol). So excited to be working with you on this awesome workout round up series!
These are so awesome! Although the lunges make me tired just by reading about them. Cassidy loves to run but is out of sorts with that, and hurt his shoulder last time he was running.
I wonder if he’ll love this list.
Wow, nice workouts there. Of all the workouts and exercises that I love to get myself into I love running. And I guess doing some of these workouts will also blend well with my running. I will surely try some of them out.
Thanks
