Juju’s micro workout review 🌈

[ju-ju-]

I’ve started doing a fast mile on a Monday, and I decided to do a pre micro workout to get my joints ready. I found this one after a google search. It’s the Nike run club people, and run by women’s heath magazine.

Pros:

*it’s very easy to follow.

*It loosened up my hips which are always really stiff first thing.

*The exercises are also good for my balance, which Is always good to work on.

*It’s very quick.

Cons:

You can’t follow along, so I had to pause a couple of times to catch up.

I find the people a little bit annoying.

It doesn’t ‘flow’ like yoga does.

Best quote…. “so pop that booty back”

You'll have to keep doing it til you've got it memorised 😊 Or maybe make your own follow along video for it one rainy afternoon when there's nothing else to do ... yeah, right 🙄

Haha yes.... I have started to memorise them a bit, but I quite like having them babble on in the background!!

I'd write it all out on a piece of paper which would gradually disintegrate in my running belt 😄

Great thanks...all new to me, may add a few to my current dynamic pre-run stretches, or alternate for variety. Could certainly feel the pull on my achy hamstrings with a couple of them and as you say, loosened up the hips 😊

[ju-ju- in reply to Run46]

great plan, and I have a really stiff right hip, so this works well for me...

These are good, nice and easy to do which I like 😊👍

But, a couple of questions:

Should I do a 5 min walk first?

They called them ‘dynamic’ exercises - I thought that meant moving exercises eg walk then lunge, then continue walking.

Sorry for silly questions! 🤔

[ju-ju- in reply to skysue16]

Hello, the dynamic bit means joint movement. And in everything I have ever read about running, it always suggests a warm up walk is definitely advisable, and I certainly do this too.

These look good - if only they were that easy! I've book marked them on my laptop to give them a try when I'm off the I C 😃

[ju-ju- in reply to 59er]

Fab, and I am so sorry you are on the IC, I hope you are back running again soon

That looks really good! Thanks for sharing. I’ve noticed my hips very tight so those hip flexors are helpful.

Yes try it, do you do yoga too?
