Hey fitness divas!!! Hope everyone has had a great week! Please Please Please email me with any questions or ideas you are interested in. I appreciate everyones feedback so far and I thank you for your thoughts and questions.
Fitness Tips: A lot of you have been emailing about getting shin splints when running or working out on the elliptical. Just like it is important to warm up your body and your muscles, many people forget that the calves, shins and ankles need to be warmed-up also. So next time before your workout move your toes so they point forward and back (like you are stepping on a gas petal and then releasing your foot. Also tapping foot side to side helps warm up the shins. Also doing calve raises helps because remember everything goes hand in hand if you warm up the front don't forget the back. So toe taps and calve raises with ankle rolls helps to relieve those nasty shin splints. Also watch how you are walking and running if you are running on your toes to much you will for sure get nasty SS(shin splints) Good Luck
The other tip I wanted to cover this week is side aches when running. I am a victim of this because of all my female pumbling problems I have a hard time running but side aches are from not breathing correctly. Remember to take deep breathes when first starting out and exhaling completely before starting all over. So many of us take off and run without noticing how to breathe right. Pilates is a great way to learn how to control your breathing. I hope this helps!
Fitness Goal: This week everyone try to get in at least 45min walking/running sessions at least 3 times this week. You can do it!!!
Next week I'll talk about if those expensive shoes that say they give you a great butt and thighs are worth the money, also find out a few simple steps to reduce your chances of diabetes!!
Love to you all!
