core strength

[hopey]

The buttock muscles draw the thighs backwards, and/or lift the torso up if your bent over.

You need one or more of the following:full squats, regular deadlifts,straight leg deadlifts,torso extensions(with thighs restrained),leg presses and if you can find one a glute machine extension(women love this).

Now I'm really confused

Do I have to go to the gym to do all those?

Nearly all, you can't get blood out of a stone Hopey.They're big powerful muscles, that need a lot of resistance.

Lie on a high table,with your torso hanging over the edge.You'll have to secure the thighs for this, so get someone to hold them down on the surface of the table.Now bring your body up and in line with your legs.Then lower again.Do as many as you can.

You could also try free standing squats, but really they(glutes) need high resistance.

Squat on one leg and you've instantly doubled the 'resistance' and also added a stability element. An infinitely better exercise than a leg-press resistance machine.

No you haven't the resistance is the same i.e bodyweight.

Not only that but you don't produce as much power with one leg working compared to two.Less power means poorer results.

I never realised running was so complicated.

It isn't.

20 sit ups every other day for core stability and 20 mins on a turbo trainer as hard a possible, without a warmup is all there is to it.
