Lazy Gym
Lazy gym is an easy way to add some upper body and core strength training into your usual Lazy Runner cardio sessions.
Running is a high cardio activity and works to improve your Heart/Lung fitness, it builds muscle groups and strengthens and tones your legs, it also builds endurance fitness.
However, people who only run for fitness tend to focus and build strength in the lower body and forget that we need an all over workout to maintain optimum fitness and toning
Every muscle group in the body is dependant on another muscle group. If you only focus on one set of muscles
(i.e. lower body), a supporting muscle group (i.e core muscles) can become weak and then they cannot support the strength you have built through your lower body. This can lead to an imbalance in strength and fitness and can cause injuries.
One way to improve your all over fitness and strength is to participate in other activities that works other muscle groups, i.e. swimming is great for runners, rowing, or Pilates etc…or... Lazy Gym
