For the least exercised muscles, see below:

      > Diaphragm: The forgotten king of muscles because it hides under the ribcage; the diaphragm is the key to good breathing and optimizing effort during running.

      > Pelvic floor muscles: These muscles in the lower part of the abdomen hold the organs in place. They have less specific work than the abdominal muscles, but they can be strengthened to minimize the effects of impact during running. You can use Kegel exercises as a guide to strengthen them.

      > Lower back muscles: While ab exercises are often recommended for runners, it is important to also strengthen the lower back muscles so that you don't lose your posture during exercise.

     > Glutes, also known as gluteus medius: Located on either side of the buttocks, stabilize the pelvis. They help keep the knees aligned with the hips and avoid overcompensation of the TFL, which can lead to ribbon syndrome, a common tendinopathy in athletes.

     >Psoas major: Mobilized during hip extension, the psoas connects the pelvis to the trunk. These usually occur in people who sit for long periods of time. For cyclists, strengthening the psoas helps limit lower back tension and improves pedaling efficiency and consistency.

These muscles are not normally usedOther muscle groups that are rarely used in everyday life or general physical activity:

>Deep shoulder muscles, especially the rotator cuff

>Forearm muscles

>Trapezius

>Adductor muscles of the inner thigh

>Other muscles

Work those underused muscles in less than 20 minutes

Build deep or hidden muscles in 20 minutes with the following exercises:

    >Take 10 deep breaths to relax the diaphragm.

    > To engage the glutes, do 2 sets of 10 squats, using an elastic resistance band above the knees.

    > To stretch the psoas, lunge forward until you touch the ground on one knee. Tilt your pelvis forward and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat 3 times and switch sides.

    >Strengthen lower back muscles with superhuman exercises. Lie on your back with your arms straight, lift your arms and legs a few centimeters at the same time, and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat the action 3 times.

    > Do Bridge Pose to work your pelvic floor muscles, abdominal and lumbar regions. Lie on the floor with your legs bent, and lift your pelvis several times in a row without arching.

    > To strengthen the adductor muscles, tie one end of the rubber band to the anchor point and the other end to the ankle, and extend the leg back. Do this in sets of 10.
