MOMS ON THE RUN

Our Moms on the Run story is quite special: What started in a park with a group of moms just wanting to run a simple 5K has transformed into a nationally franchised running company with 50 locations in nine states. We have helped transform thousands of women's lives, and in turn, the lives of their families. Welcome to Moms on the Run. If you've been searching for the motivation to get your start as a runner, this program is for you! And if you've been running for years and want additional challenge and motivation, we have advanced training for you, as well.   

Watch our story, then find a location near you to join us! We welcome women of all ages and all levels — and, you don't have to be a mom! If you're a bit hesitant to try us, we have a great opportunity for you. Many of our franchises nationwide will be offering a new variety of trial programs or trial classes this month, so check out our locations page to contact the franchise nearest you. If you don't see one, why not contact us about starting up a Moms on the Run in your community? 

Today, National Fitness Director and Olympian Carrie Tollefson shares with us one of her favorite training tools: the rolling stick. The stick is easy to carry in your workout bag or to have at home, and is great for loosening up the quads, hams, glutes and calves. Similar to foam rolling, the rolling stick is a form of self-massage that helps rid muscles and tissue of adhesions. It also increases blood flow and mobility to your muscles, improving recovery and performance. By the way, if you don't have a rolling stick, you can substitute a rolling pin from your kitchen! Give it a try! 

Our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, shares a great exercise for our glutes, hamstrings and core: the bridge. Carrie shares three different variations (intro to advanced) that will help strengthen these muscles and help with balance, as well. Grab a mat, click on the image below, and try it!

This video is the final in a series where our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, shares exercises using a stability ball. Today, Carrie offers a quick one-minute ab workout.* Sit on your stability ball, roll back so your legs are at 90-degree angle to the floor and back is on the ball, elbows back, and hit go!
