#EngageTheBasics April Challenge
Barbara created this challenge as a means for us to remember the basics needed to continue on our journey to being a stronger runner.
Taking all of 8 minutes, it consists of
- 2minutes foam rolling (I added in 5 min instead of 2, as I can never get anything done in 2min)
- 1 minute plank
- 1 minute side planks (30 sec. Each side)
- 1 minute push-ups (however you need to do them- knees, stability ball, etc.)
- 1 minute clam shells (30 Each side)
- 1minute glute bridges (30 each side)
- 1minute hip hikes
