Resistance band glute exercises can help with running strong and pain-free.
I started running consistently about 10 years ago, with the goal of completing the 2016 New York City Marathon.
To achieve this, I signed up for the New York Road Runner’s 9+1 program, which requires running nine races and volunteering at one.
However, within my first year of regular running, I developed IT band syndrome, which caused significant pain and prevented me from running.
I attended physical therapy (PT) to recover and get back to running as soon as possible.
My physical therapist added banded moves to my at-home routine to strengthen my hips.
Strengthening my hips with banded moves helped me recover from injury and get back to running.
