Strength training workouts for runners must include exercises that improve power, explosiveness, and increase resiliency for athletic performance. This is why I have included a single exercise here to give you all of this and more to enhance your running ability. Read on if I have your attention.
The Pistol Or Single Legged Squat: Superior Strength Training For Runners!
As a runner you have got to have strong legs to pull those hills, build speed, and withstand the pounding on your joints for the duration of the race. One tremendous exercise for helping you to do this is squats. Squats are great for developing the strength and stability of your leg muscles and joints. To intensify this I am going to talk to you about the pistol squat.
If you want to take your running program to the next level you have got to practice at getting better at your strength program first. Pistol squats, or single legged squats, are a very effective leg strengthening workout to drastically improve your running program. However, this drill takes practice to master just like improving your running distance and speed takes practice.
To execute the pistol squat you will need the availability of a bench or chair to start. Just like any smartly planned strength program, progression should be the focus of getting better. In other words the pistol is properly performed in it's entirety by standing up, lifting one leg off of the ground, and squatting with the grounded leg all the way to the floor and back up. Now unless you have done this before or you just happen to be a freak of nature you will have to practice and progress at this before completing it in it's entirety. This is what I mean about progression.
To begin, you can start by sitting on the chair or bench, lifting one leg up, and standing up off of the grounded leg. Now if you can do this with relative ease then you can intensify the drill by starting from a standing position first, squatting down to touch your rear on the bench, and then standing back up without allowing the raised leg to touch the ground. Get good at this point of progression and then you can go further by using a lower bench or chair to gradually increase your range of motion. You see where this is going now, right? Eventually the goal is to do away with any bench or chair and stand in the middle of the floor and perform the squat with a full range of motion to the ground. Practice flawlessly and practice often!
If you haven't already started to include the pistol squats into your running strength training program then you are missing out. Take your running performance to another level with this and other great strength drills by accessing the rest of my articles on the subject for free. Remember that most anyone can train hard, but only the best train smart!

Vacuum Exercise $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The vacuum exercise is an exercise which involves contracting some internal abdominal muscles, primarily the Transversus abdominis muscle, and not as much the diaphragm, the six pack muscles or abs which are trained through crunches, leg raises, or other core exercises. Repetitions of the exercise may be used as a form of endurance training, and light strength training. There is difficulty building strength in the muscle, as resistance training is difficult for internal muscles. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
