I am always very pleased to see people making the most of their lives by accomplishing goals! BRISTOL TV has featured an amazing fitness role model, Claire Tiley, who speaks about her mental and physical preparation for a 10K run. Claire put in a lot of work to be able to accomplish an achievement such as this!
I was asked by Bristol TV to showcase a selection of exercises suitable for someone training in a 10K race. A strong base gives a solid foundation for a healthy and fit body. All movements we make, walking, running, lifting or climbing come from our core area. Your body needs to behave like a well oiled machine. Seeing as your core is the one connection between all of your limbs, it makes sense that if it’s working at optimum level – the rest of your body will too!
Having a strong core can improve running posture and speed as well as strengthening your limbs!
Wondering how to train your core effectively?
Despite the technological advancements in gym equipment. I always use classic medicine ball training to strengthen the core. In the words of Dieter Rams, ‘Good design is as little design as possible.’ Medicine ball training dates back to Ancient Greek civilisations making this equipment one of the oldest forms of strength and conditioning in the world. Whilst doing this I ensure that the spine and pelvis are supported during movement!
As you can see from the video, with a little guidance, Claire executed my medicine ball exercises very well. Doing exercises such as these are great additions to your running workout! A well informed trainer can mentor you on safe and effective delivery of these medicine ball exercises. At ProTom fitness we actually educate our clients so they feel confident enough to train independently!
