How to Avoid Shin Splints

I'm going to share with you some how to avoid shin splints. These tips should help you with avoiding this horrible pain you experience when you walk, run or jump.

  • Good Shoes: You need to get a good pair of running shoes. You can't skimp on shoes because your feet are the foundation that determine if you're going to have a problem with your shins. Running shoes are specially designed to handle this problem.
  • Increase Gradually: You experience the problem of splints when you shock your shin muscles by doing a lot more work than they're used too. By gradually increasing things slowly, there isn't quite a shock to the system.
  • Rest Times: If you run or walk, you should take a break ever other day. The reason is because you're using muscles and these muscles need around 48hrs to repair. The ones in your shins are the ones that cause the pain.
  • Softer Surfaces: You wouldn't believe the difference you will experience by changing the type of surface you walk or run on. Sometimes we are limited to sidewalks, but if you can find a place with a gravel or just grass, you will have less of an impact on your shin muscles.
  • Stretching: Take the necessary time before and after running or walking to do stretching. Having your shin muscles warmed up can really avoid some pain. Also stretching after your activity will also prevent it from getting stiff.

These are some methods on how to avoid shin splints. I hope you use them to benefit yourself.
