Running isn’t just about putting one foot in front of the other…

It’s also about technique. Part of that technique includes how to use your arms properly for maximum benefit. Joshua Carlos is a very well-respected personal trainer in Northridge and an avid runner. Avid enough to be training to qualify for the Olympics!

In this video, Josh explains how to use your arms to your benefit while running. Using your upper body correctly can be a game-changer when it comes to your running technique, so pay close attention!

The better your technique, the more fluid and efficient your running will be. It’s like anything else; strength lies in mastering the fundamentals. So, be mindful of how your body is moving when you’re running. It can be tempting to disconnect with your body and focus all of your attention on your awesome playlist.

But don’t forget to tune into your body from time to time to do a diagnostic check. Your running will improve, I promise you.
