Common questions
What muscles does the Run work?
The Run is primarily a cardiovascular exercise. It conditions the cardiovascular system and burns calories rather than building one specific muscle.
What equipment do I need for the Run?
None. The Run uses your body weight only, so you can do it anywhere.
How long should I do the Run for?
Work the Run in intervals: 20 to 40 seconds of effort followed by equal rest, for 10 to 15 minutes total. Build up the work periods gradually as your conditioning improves.
