HOW TO EMERGE FROM COVID-19 FITTER, FASTER & STRONGER.

Running and walking are both exercises dominated by the large, global muscles (unless you apply specific technique training), so in order to ensure the core and stabilising muscles are engaged and conditioned, it is best to incorporate cross training days between run days. Workouts that are slow, controlled and alignment-focused will target your weaknesses and perfectly compliment the higher intensity cardo training.  Harvard Medical School recommends undertaking all four types of exercise into your routine; aerobic, strengthening, stretching and balance. Online Pilates and yoga classes are an effective way to concurrently strengthen, tone and lengthen muscles as well as improve balance and proprioception.
