If you are like most of us, some days you are really crunched for time. Work, kids, meetings or other engagements have completely taken over your day, and your typical 45-60 minute gym session is just not happening. Does that mean you skip it all together?

Let’s Go running and get your strength training in doing a quick  band workout   In order to do a Band Workout while running you must be able to take a band with you   However for me to do that, it cannot impact my run and it must be invisible to some degree. What I mean is, I do not want to have to: Carry the band in my hand Have the band flopping around while I run Change my running mechanics, speed or form due to the band Have the band not allow me to do sprint work  Running – Band workouts continue to be a weekly event where I will do a band workout while going on a run.  There is something about doing a 1 to 2 minute run followed immediately by a quick 1 to 2 minute band workout that really cranks up my metabolic system. For instance here is a typical run- band workout with a run. ——- Every set is in 60 second or 2 minute intervals RunHorizontal Chest PressRunBent over RowRunShoulder PressRunHammer CurlRunOverhead Tricep Extension ——— Perform 6 rounds 400 yard run – 30 Front Squats – 30 Curl/Clean/Press    ———  30s on-30s off x 4 total rounds 4  Runs2 sets of Split Squats on each side4 Runs2 sets of Reverse Lunges on each side4 Runs   The key to a Run – Band Workout is how you are going to carry the band along with you.Let me help you with that by showing you a very easy band set up     Getting BETTER with BANDS Dave
