Thanks to a really wonderful, beautiful person ♥, I received a variety of 20 minute workout sessions in the mail today. I decided to do a 20 minute cardio interval with Cindy Windmarsh and I enjoyed it (and it didn't hurt my shin :D)

Swimming
 

Hey there,

Do you have access to a pool that would probaby be the best way to exercise until you've healed. Did you see a doctor? Because if it continues to hurt or get worse I would go to the doctor as you could have a stress facture of the tibia bone.

What is the multifaceted "relative rest" approach?

This multifaceted approach includes:

•Workouts such as stationary bicycling or pool running: These will allow maintenance of cardiovascular fitness.
•Icing reduces inflammation.
•Anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin); naproxen (Aleve/Naprosyn), are also a central part of rehabilitation.
•A 4-inch wide Ace bandage wrapped around the region also helps reduce discomfort.
•Calf and anterior (front of) leg stretching and strengthening addresses the biomechanical problems discussed above and reduce pain.
•Pay careful attention to selecting the correct running shoe based upon the foot type (flexible pronator vs. rigid supinator). This is extremely important. In selected cases, shoe inserts (orthotics) may be necessary.
•Stretching and strengthening exercises are done twice a day.
•Run only when symptoms have generally resolved (often about two weeks) and with several restrictions:
1.A level and soft terrain is best.
2.Distance is limited to 50% of that tolerated preinjury.
3.Intensity (pace) is similarly cut by one half.
4.Over a three-six week period, a gradual increase in distance is allowed.
5.Only then can a gradual increase in pace be attempted

Oh I am with ya on that on sister, I can't stand when men wear a lot of cologne. They smell best with soap and water! :D

Great work on the exercise!

Thank you and I see you are kicking some butt and taking names!

Good Job on the workout!:carrot:

Can we close a thread??

Hi everyone :)

August 28: 35 minutes on my Stairmaster + abs.

I am going away to visit my family so I won't be back posting again until Tuesday or Wednesday. So I will see everyone in the September thread!

Onderchic, I am glad that your shin is feeling better. Please, please be careful though. As I mentioned before I ignored the pain I had in my shin for too long and ended up with a stress fracture. Be especially careful if the pain is just in one leg as usually shin splints happen in both. :hug:

Echo, it would be wonderful if we were all on the same team! Great job with your workouts :cheer:

Diva, that sucks about perfume man. That would drive me crazy too!

Igetfit, thank you! You are definately kicking butt. I am amazed at how many minutes of exercise you do a day. Awesome!!

Hello and big :cheer3: for pintobean, thistime140, belezura, dustcatcher, nakedmango, Jen, deva, ( I hope I remembered everyone) :cheer2:

well
 

How about a stationary bike, if not that then walk and no jumping or running. This is your mother speaking! *just being silly*

Only a mod or Power chick can do that but we can sure go ahead and start a September one. ;)
Great job on the Stairmaster & Abs!:hug:

Well that's all I do is volunteer or exercise, I don't lead an exciting life just a heart healthy one! ;)

I made us a new Exercise Thread HERE!:D

Baby steps
 

Good for you, not one of us started off doing massive amounts of exercise we built up to it. I started with 30 minutes a day and now I do 45 minutes sessions 3 times a day. Keep going and set small goals and big ones and step by step you will get there. Welcome!

Also whomever started the thread can close the thread. Just a fyi.

I think only moderators can close threads, which I will do right now, since a new thread had been opened...
