Exercises for Runners: Step Up Progression

Dr. Nicole Surdyka demonstrates a great and effective step up progression. Awesome series for runners and anyone looking to challenge and improve their lower body strength, stability, and symmetry.

Here’s a nice progression of step-up movements: . 1️⃣ Step Up 2️⃣ Step Up with Knee Drive 3️⃣ Step Up with Knee Drive and Heel Raise 4️⃣ Step Up with Explosive Knee Drive . Look for frontal plane control as well as single leg stability. The load can be increased with dumbbells, kettlebells, a barbell, bands, etc. You can also change the speed, tempo, and volume depending on the training needs of the individual. ———————- #nicolesurdykaphysio #surdykapt #physicaltherapy #physio #physiotherapy #fisioterapia #strengthandconditioning #fittorun #fit #fitness #fitfam #runner #run #strength #strong #speed #stepup #marinadelrey #losangeles #venice #santamonica #trackandfield #athlete #training #sportsperformance #soccer #football #futbol
