Join TCM Motion Expert Kristen Gerlach, PT, PhD of In Stride Physical Therapy for “Beyond the Crunch”, a free workshop on core strength for runners, walkers and other active people.

A solid core benefits athletes of all ages and abilities, whether you are preparing for a 5k, marathon, or just interested in maintaining an active lifestyle. Everyone is welcome!


Bring a yoga mat or towel - if you need to borrow a mat, please note that in the registration.

Topics covered will include:

  • What muscles make up the “core”

  • How core strength contributes to injury prevention & improved running and sport performance

  • How to perform a better plank

  • Why planks aren’t enough—the secrets of counter-rotation

  • Suggested core exercises

  • Time for questions

TCM is hosting this class in collaboration with St. Paul Parks and Rec Fitness in the Parks - we hope you can join us!


In the case of rain/inclement weather, we will move indoors to the Twin Cities Motion Center. Registrants will be notified by NOON on the day of the program.
