Warm-up (5-10 minutes): Start with light jogging, biking, rowing, or running. The goal is to get your body moving gently.
Main Workout: From the videos dropdown below follow a "Day 1", "Day 2" or "Day 3" routine. Feel free to mix the order of the exercises followed by Upper and Lower body Strength Workouts (optional).
Cool Down: After each strength session, take 10 minutes to stretch and foam roll to help with recovery and flexibility. (Suggestion Stretches for Endurance Athletes bellow)
Workout 1 - Push and Pull:

Maintaining flexibility and preventing injuries are crucial for endurance athletes. Incorporating regular stretching into your routine can improve performance and recovery.
Incorporate these stretches into your routine after workouts or on rest days to keep your muscles flexible and reduce the risk of injury.
By raising each arm, you can change the focus point of the stretch. This stretch is great for targeting the hip flexors, helping to relieve tightness and improve flexibility in the front of the hips. Incorporate this stretch into your routine to help alleviate hip flexor tightness, improve posture, and enhance overall lower body flexibility.
This stretch targets the gluteal muscles and provides a deep stretch for the hips and lower back. This stretch is excellent for relieving tension in the glutes and lower back, making it a great addition to your post-workout routine or recovery sessions.
You can also put your raised foot on a ledge/bar. This stretch is ideal for targeting the gluteal muscles while improving balance and flexibility. Incorporate this stretch into your routine to help relieve tightness in the glutes and improve your overall lower body flexibility.
This stretch targets both the gluteal muscles and the iliotibial (IT) band, helping to improve flexibility and alleviate tightness in the hips and outer thighs. This stretch is excellent for targeting the glutes and IT band, making it a valuable addition to your post-workout or recovery routine.
