RTTC #52 Are Apple Fitness+ Glute Workouts Good for Runner's with Knee Pain

Send us a text

In this episode of Running to the Castle I’m reviewing an Apple Fitness+ glute workout I did so I know whether it’s good for my clients with knee problems.
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.
