I love to run, my friends and family all know this about me. I am often asked by my runner friends if I do weights. Yes! Your body needs it all in order for it to function at its best. And does ALL mean weights and cardio? No. Well those are included, but they do not encompass ALL. Don’t forget nutrition and flexibility. Let’s talk about why for a minute before we go in to this week’s workout.
