Are Apple Fitness+ Glute Workouts Good for Runner's with Knee Pain
Season 1 Episode 52 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty
I did an Apple Fitness+ Glute Workout to check it out to know whether I can recommend it for my running clients that have knee problems and pain.
The types of running knee injuries my clients have include IT Band Syndrome, Meniscus tears, Knee Arthritis, Runner's Knee and Anterior Knee Pain so those are the types of injuries that were in the back of my mind when I did this workout.
The exercises included in this workout were:
Warm up
Squat with hip opener
Squat with a forward reach
Reverse lunges with trunk twist
High knee skips
Block 1
Deadlifts with moderate weight
Goblet squat with reach back, holding moderate weight
Static lunge holding moderate weight in one hand and other arm out
Bear crawl position with leg reach back
Glute Burner in the middle
Bridging
Side hip lift with top leg kickout with arm overhead
Clam bridging
Block 2
Sumo deadlift with moderate weight
Lateral lunge with skater tap holding moderate weight
Curtsy lunge holding moderate weight with other arm out
Bear crawl position with leg side kick out
Listen to the episode to find out which exercises were good on the knees and which ones I would recommend my clients with knee problems skip.
