4 MOVES IN 14-MINUTES TO PREPARE FOR THE SF HALF MARATHON
This year I’ve been lucky enough to get an entry into the Nike Women’s Half Marathon! The race is on October 20th and takes runners all throughout SF, passing several trademark spots. It’s only fitting to use some of those landmarks as inspiration for this workout. To make it even better, this one is completely focused on the booty — and it’s only 4 moves that can be conquered in just 14 minutes! Don’t forget to stretch before and after.

Note: Each rep, alternate which foot is brought inward
2. Lombard Street Lunges

3. Pier 39 Plank

Yep, that’s really it! Now you can get back to whatever you were up to 14 minutes ago, but don’t forget to share how the workout went with #FNLfit! Squeeze in room for this quickie every day (or at least every other day), and stay tuned for more San Fran-inspired workouts coming up!
