26 minute prehab for runners | Bodyweight workout for beginners

Get onto your mat and come join a follow-along style prehab bodyweight workout for beginners to prevent running injuries. 🏃🏻‍♀️

In this prehab workout for beginners, focusing on core and leg strength, Sabrina, physiotherapist at Exakt Health, shows you the most important exercises for strengthening the muscles that are important for running and for optimally preparing the body for the stress of running in a total of four exercise circuits. 🙏🏻

Please note: Comprehensive runner prehab training includes not only strengthening, but also mobilizing and jumping exercises. However, this video focuses exclusively on increasing your core and leg strength.

The prevention plan in the *Exakt Health app* includes all the areas you need for preventive strength training as a runner. Strong muscles and tendons take longer to fatigue when you run, which means that you can sustain good running form for longer. They also reduce the impact on your joints as they can absorb more of the force. Improved movement patterns and position sense have been shown to reduce the risk of sprains and strains.

In a controlled, comprehensive manner, the program allows you to either work on your general strength to optimally prepare your body for running or choose from one of the three focus areas and improve your hip-, knee- or ankle stability, depending on your previous injuries or areas of your body you would like to specifically target in your strength training.

All you need for this prehab bodyweight workout, with the aim of injury prevention, is a mat and your workout shoes. Simply copy what Sabrina shows you and learn some exciting additional information about prevention in running in the video.

We look forward to an injury-free running season with you ✨
