 It’s impossible to find one workout that does everything… but this one designed by Lindsey Clayton, senior instructor at Barry’s in New York City and co-founder of the Brave Body Project, comes close.
“This is a full-body workout utilizing compound exercises with a set of free weights,” Clayton tells Runner’s World. “Compound exercises are multi-joint movements involving more than one muscle group. They are an efficient use of time, as they improve strength and muscular coordination, elevate heart rate, provide a cardiovascular training benefit, burn more calories, and help prevent injuries,” she says.
In other words, you can knock out both your cardio and strength workout with just seven free weight exercises, which include a set of dumbbells (or two, if you have them) —and all in under 30 minutes. It’s a small investment of time with a huge pay-off, especially for runners, Clayton explains. |
