If you’re a runner or a walker it’s very easy to overlook your upper body strength. But did you know your core and upper body strength is key for good walking and running form? Take part in any long-distance event and you’ll soon notice sore muscles if you’ve been neglecting your strength training.
These upper-body workouts for women are suitable for strength training at home. You can workout in the privacy of your living room and these workouts use no equipment.
Weedy arms and strong runner’s legs aren’t a good look so get ready to sculpt your arms, back, and chest.
5 Beginner Strength Training At Home Workouts (No Equipment Required)
These workouts will ease you into an upper-body strength training regime. For maximum benefit add strength training to your schedule 2 or 3 times a week. I find it’s best to work out after an easy run or walk.
