Shin Splints? stretch video...

SHIN SPLINTS AGHHHHHHHH
When talking to people about running or exercising, the number one thing I hear from people is that the reason they dont keep it at it is the dreaded shin splint. I know that they hurt, I too have suffered from them at one point or another. Usually they are caused by the wrong shoe or not stretching. However the good thing about shim splints is that as long as you treat them and let them heal, they DO go away. YAY. Make sure you do let them heal though, so you do not end up with a fracture, then you will be out for a while.


So while I was at the gym this morning, doing my leg workout, I thought I would take and post a video of  a shin/calf weighted stretch that I do weekly on the seated leg press machine.

as you can see its a very easy, but effective way to really stretch your shins and calves out while keeping them strong. i start out at about 70lbs and usually do 4 sets, going up about 5lbs at each set.
Next time you are at the gym, try it. Let me know how it goes.
