Wii fit exercises for running

I do like my gadgets - and a recent article in Runners World featuring the fabulous Jo Pavey had a workout - with some elements that I think can be done with a wii fit:

  • Form: improve your core muscles with Parallel Stretch (MW)

  • Form: hip alignment - Lunge (MW)

  • Form: core stability around hips - Bridge (Y)

  • Fitness: upper body strength - Press Up & Side Stand (MW)

  • Fitness: quad & glutes strength - Rowing Squat (MW)

  • Fitness: strength in calves and achilles - Palm Tree (Y)

None of the plyometric exercises had a direct comparison though!
