10-Minute Core Routine for Runners

I’m always looking for a quick core workout but love to change it up from time to time. This 10-minute workout is just the right amount of rest (40sec work + 20sec rest) and a good mix of core exercises.

In this video, we lead you through a 10-minute core workout that you can do at home. All you need is a comfortable surface and enough space to move. Perform each exercise for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of rest. Let’s go!

Fleet Feet Core Workout

• 40sec work + 20sec rest
  • Plant walk ups
  • Bridges
  • Bird dog
  • Bicycle crunches
  • Plank + knee to elbow
  • Right side plank with twist
  • Left side plank with twist
  • Windshield wipers
  • Double crunches
  • Reverse crunches

The last exercise is mislabeled in the video – it is “reverse crunches” and not “leg lifts”.

I did this workout after a short run. I really want to do more core work – especially because I’m losing weight and getting closer to my goal (now 82kg from 94kg and trying to get to 75kg). So, doing these core workouts after my shorter workout runs is a perfect combination – I’m already warmed up and “in the mood” for exercise – a win-win for sure!
