You NEED to do this before EVERY RUN | Activation Exercises for Runners

Did you know you can actually take your running up a notch by improving the quality of your warm up? Anna and Andy are here to show you how with these activation exercises.

If you have a foam roller, tennis or lacrosse ball and a resistance band you can use them for these exercises, but not necessary for the moves! Be sure to stick around to the end for our follow-along and make sure you save this link and come back to it before you run.
