With only 6 weeks until the๐ฝNew York City Marathon, Aimee is right on track with her program & looking as strong as ever๐ช! Thankfully, Aimee is a rockstar & gives 110% on everything, leaving me with very little concern ๐ that she won't hold herself accountable when it comes to sticking with the plan. This is an absolute blessing for us trainers ๐! . . When preparing for a marathon, it's important that you not only focus on the running aspect, but equally so, your strength training ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ & recovery process. Marathon training takes its toll on you physically, mentally & emotionally and we want to make sure her body & mind ๐ค are feeling as good as possible on that Fall, November Sunday. . . Exercises like these Rear-Foot Elevated Split Squats to a Balance will definitely help with the physical aspect of the preparation; strengthening the major muscles of the lower body & core, as well as the smaller muscles that'll help stabilize the ankles, knees & hips! As a result, this should make her stronger as a runner ๐โโ๏ธ while decreasing her risk of injury! . . Aimee, you're an inspiration to us all ๐! Keep pushing through & working hard as always๐! You're almost there & we all can't wait to cheer you on as you crush your second NYC Marathon๐! . . #CommitFitNYC #PersonalTrainer #PersonalTraining #Marathon #marathontraining #nycmarathon #marathoner #marathonrunner #marathonready #marathonprep #strengthtraining #sportspecific #sportspecifictraining #runningtraining #runningexercises #runningstrengthtraining #nyctrainer #uesnyc #uestrainer (at Upper East Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/CULCKI2gJTJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
