She’s pumped! Angie Krueger, (blonde) teaching her beloved BodyPump class.

Find your strong on this podcast: Sarah and her best running friend, Molly Williams, welcome certified personal trainer Angie Krueger to talk about strength training for runners. Before talk turns to various methods of strength training, Angie shares how she’s run 27 marathons in 27 different states. (And only one in the state of denial!) Then the mother runners drill down into the benefits of barre, OrangeTheory Fitness, TRX, BodyPump, yoga, and PiYo, and Angie stresses the importance of doing what you need to feel successful. She gives loads of, ahem, strong advice, including pointers for classic moves like crunches and planks. Learn what “cough muscles” are and how to activate them for better results.

At the top of the show, find out how much money Molly found on her and Sarah’s morning run, and why it prompted Sarah to utter an expletive similar to, but not quite, “mother runner.”
