I make the resolution every year to get my body into premium shape (who doesn’t).  The Broad River Trace fitness center is cool for a quick workouts but I like to run whenever I can.  Any other runners out there?  What are some of your favorite routes in the area?   Check out this tip I found online in the 15 Best Workout Tips of all time

“Adding wall sits to the end of every run will strengthen your quads, hamstrings and glutes, improving your speed and endurance. Lean against a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart, then squat until your knees are bent at 45 degrees. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds; work up to doing 10 sets. Add a challenge by including heel raises: Lift your left heel, then the right, then lift both together twice.”

–Mindy Solkin, owner and head coach of the Running Center, New York City
