What training exercises would you like us to do?

[JoseFPVNavarro]

Bulgarian split squats literally saved my running journey!

[ianaugustus]

I've seen people doing some of these exercises but I've never done them myself. Having Manni explain how they're done properly has now given me the confidence to try them for myself. Thank you. You've inspired me to give it a go.

[kitschofield]

That’s a great, bite sized session. Looking forward to giving it a go and to any future installments. Thanks guys!

[Chrisblottphoto]

Love the energy here. I watch way to many YouTube fitness videos probably but this is great and looking forward to now going through some of your other videos. 🙏🏻

[Matt_Kraczon]

It might have been nice for Manny to explain what the exercises were targeting and how that correlates to improving your running form. As a personal request, exercises to address a tight IT band that causes me hip pain/ bursitis.

[truepenny]

This was JUST enough. Great explanation! gonna try this -

[julieburt]

These are a great set of exercises to do at home, post run. I love that its quick but comprehensive. I will definitely add this routine in on busy days when I want to do some strength but don't have a lot of time. Thanks!

[JeffreyADavis-vyqy]

Thank you for explaining in detail what to do. GREAT video.

[JimmysGarden]

Nice informative video. Would you ever think about doing a "work along" exercise video? Keep up the good videos 👍🏃‍♂️

[VictoriaSethunya]

Thank you for the video demonstrating how to do these excises correctly! That’s all I needed to know, not the whole schooling in the anatomy and physiology! I guess there’s time for everything 😂
Glad to be here for the HOW TO!

[tariqhawa]

This is perfect, was looking for something I can do when I am travelling.

[kalieland]

These are great! Can’t wait to implement them in between my runs.

[xtroncool]

Brilliant Vid Thank you!
Need some advice please
Had a back injury many years ago and killed the nerve from my back to my right foot
Am 49 years old male with good fitness level
Manage to complete a run/walk 10k yesterday.
My problem is the left side of my right calf muscle is no longer there only the right side due to dead nerve
This makes it impossible for me to go up on my toes right foot
I can manage it with both feet on the ground but singular “on right leg “ nothing
What can i do please to get around this “ disability”
Loving running and improving all the time
Just struggle abit with this right foot/ calf
The working right side of my calf is normal and taking most of the load the left should be sharing!
Any advice would be amazing please

[ivanism]

should we do these exercise everyday? if not, how many times we should do per week? Thanks

[sile]

Love these with 10 pound weights for each ankle.❤❤❤❤

[samanthawain]

Where would we be without the Running Channel? Will look forward to trying the new exercises from this. Other ones I've tried have had positive results. Keep it up 😊

[ds]

Stellar work lads, I'll definitely implement these exercises into my weekly plan. I've been suffering from loads of injuries since my late 20's into my now mid 30's and years of football practice as a winger. I'm trying to strengthen my muscles so that I won't be going through these as much as I've been these past years. Cheers from Switzerland fellas and keep up the good work!

[rgh]

Great set of exercises, thank you. I also added them to my out-of-town list of exercises I can do in the hotel room or hotel gym!

[nrjonesy]

Definitely need to up my game on strength training so this was perfect.. interested to understand what the Heidens is helping develop? Does it help improve muscles that are working for stability? Reminded me of speed skating..!!
