Running Warmup Drills

Hi guys! Last week’s challenge for the ExerciseTV Breakfast Club was to run 60 minutes during the week. You can still do this challenge on your own this week or do it in addition to this week’s challenge :Work Your Sides!

At the end of the video I show 5 of my favorite warmup drills to do that I do before a race, long run or any time I want to loosen up before I run. These drills include:

-Dynamic Hamstring Stretch
-Butt Kicks
-Toe Walk
-Heel Walk
-High Skip

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
