7 exercises to strengthen glutes and legs.

The work of legs and especially glutes is usually not taken into account by runners, mainly mistakenly thinking that running already trains these muscle groups. However, doing strengthening work for these areas is very important and should even be mandatory for every runner.

Joe López, functional trainer, ensures that glutes are one of the largest and most powerful muscle groups in the human body. This is the basis for the movement performed when running and also allows us to stay upright during training and even helps us avoid various types of injuries.

Similarly, strength training in the lower areas is of utmost importance to prevent injuries, giving greater strength, endurance, and power to the muscles. Similarly, it provides greater stability and security to the runner. It is important to note that the body parts that suffer the most impact with each stride when running are the ankle, knee, and hip joints.
