The One Muscle Group to Exercise if You Only Have Time for One

Podcast
Written By Ali Marty

Season 1 Episode 43 of Running to the Castle Podcast w/ Dr. Ali Marty

In this episode I’m talking about the #1 group of muscles I recommend my clients work out if they only had time to strength train a single group.

I chose this muscle group because it’s so versatile and you get the most bang for your buck. There are 3 muscles in this group and you hear everybody and their mom telling you to strengthen them, especially if you have knee problems.

Listen to this episode to learn the group of muscles runners need that will give them

  • Power

  • Speed

  • Strength

  • Stability

  • And good alignment when they run

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
