6. Single-leg bench bridging
What it works:
Activates lower back and hamstrings, but, most important, works your glutes and opens up your hips’ range of motion. Most runners don’t utilize the power of the glutes and put too much work on their hamstrings. Bench bridging will help your body learn to take advantage of these often overlooked joints and muscles.
Here’s how:
Laying your arms and hands on the floor for stability, and with the heel of your foot on a raised bench, lift up your mid-torso. Be careful to keep your spine straight and your bench foot stable and in line with your hip. Alternate legs after each set.
