THE ESSENTIAL CORE GUIDE FOR RUNNERS

5 Core Exercises to Run Stronger & Safer

If you’re logging miles but still dealing with tight hips, back discomfort, or inefficient form, your core may be the missing link.

This free Core Guide teaches five runner-specific exercises that directly translate to better running mechanics — not just stronger abs.

Inside this guide, you’ll learn how to:

• Build lateral stability to prevent hip drop
• Improve balance and deep core control
• Correct muscular imbalances
• Reinforce spinal stability and posture
• Strengthen your posterior chain for long-term resilience

Each exercise includes step-by-step instructions, professional insights from Dr. Wilder, and progression challenges so you can continue improving as you get stronger.

This isn’t generic core training — it’s strength work designed to support every stride.

THE TOP 3 WARM-UP EXERCISES EVERY RUNNER NEEDS

Activate the Right Muscles Before You Run

Most runners warm up.
Few warm up correctly.

Getting your body moving isn’t enough. Without proper muscle activation and neuromuscular control, even strong runners compensate with every stride — leading to tight hips, weak shins, poor shock absorption, inefficient mechanics, and injuries that seem to appear out of nowhere.

This Warm-Up Guide gives you three targeted exercises designed to:

• Activate the glutes for hip and knee stability
• Strengthen the shins and ankles for better control
• Improve coordination and explosive lower-leg strength
• Reinforce proper stride mechanics before impact begins

These movements prepare your body for the demands of running — helping you move efficiently, absorb force properly, and build durability before the miles even begin.

Activated. Prepared. Runner-specific.
