Exercises for Runners: Bridge with Tricep Dips

Why? Strengthens gluteal muscles and the triceps. How: Lift up into a bridge position, keeping the knees over the ankles. Raise your arms over your head (use 1-3 lb weights). Slowly bend at the elbows, lowering the weights close to your head. Do 12 sets and repeat. Alternatively, use no weights or a full water bottle (hold it in both hands).
