Runner’s Yoga? It’s Not Just For Runners

Here is something I came across that I think is worth looking into. (Don’t let the name fool you, it is not just for runners).
As you know by now, I am a big fan of workouts you can do just about anywhere, that take less than 30 minutes and that focus on different aspects of fitness. Well, Runners Yoga is such a program. Here is a video that explains things better than I could…
As any Professional Athlete will tell you, flexibility plays a HUGE role in both performance and injury prevention. As does balance. Mental focus. And minimizing the damaging effects of stress. And whether you’re a Professional Athlete or an Armchair Athlete, you get the most out of life when you cover all those bases. (Coach Lomax comment: this type of workout is for EVERYBODY.)
By the time you grab your gear … get to the gym or studio … change … do your routine … maybe shower … then get back home … What are you looking at? A couple hours?
Who’s got that much time? Day in and day out? Year after year? Very few of us! Which is why the vast majority of us stop going to the Health or Fitness Club within months of signing up. (The industry’s own figures show this. That’s why they try to sell you that long-term membership up front.) (Coach Lomax comment: As you know, I’m a big fan of workouts you can do at home (just look at the title of this blog!), and I truly believe the fact that you don’t have to go to the gym means you’ll get more out of this workout and use it longer… for more results!)
This is what it will do for you:
- Strengthen and tone every major muscle in your body.
- Build your core strength.
- Dramatically increase your flexibility, head to toe.
- Improve your balance and posture.
- Burn fat.
- Give your cardiovascular system a healthy workout.
- Improve your mental focus.
- And literally melt away stress.

thirty minutes is often all the time I can get.”.

“The Runner’s Yoga Program is a great complement
to any training program.”

“Using the Runner’s Yoga Program 3-4 days a week is keeping me injury free.
And it’s keeping all the aches and pains of my old injuries away.
That’s a BIG deal to me as a martial artist. Not to mention that I’m saving a lot of money I would have spent on physio and massage or acupuncture. I’m convinced this is the world’s most advanced home-fitness program. Thank you!”
N Tropp, 6th Degree Black Belt (TaeKwon Do, HwaRang Do)
Masters Public Health, ER Physician Assistant
“A perfect combination of dynamic stretching, strengthening and movement control … a culmination of proven tools to achieve balance
both physically and mentally.”

“I really like having the audio recording. I’ve tried videos before and find I
get twisted up like a pretzel. This is much better.”

“I hate running but I really like this yoga! I love the beat.
It helps calm my mind and keep me focused. And I’m quite surprised that
I’m actually doing the routine on my own. I’ve tried all kinds of videos and other things but never stick with it. This one I’m doing.”
Marilyn C.
“I find it a fantastic way to keep in shape while away on trips.”
