Leg Workout

When I started training for my first Marathon I started to get a "knee pain" later my trainer Keinan Briggs and I identified it wasn't my knee that was causing the pain when I ran or after, but my ITB. So that means I needed to stretch and widen my hips, quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. I started doing this Leg Workout at Boot Camp that Keinan Briggs has M-TH @ 5:30am back at the end of November. I no longer get "knee pain" when I run. I do the workout once a week. So I thought I would share
