| Fitness | Stability Ball-- Which one??? | May 16 2008 15:15 (UTC) |

It may also be that the 55 cm ball is not as inflated as it could be. Stability balls should be pretty firm and not soft and squishy. |

| Fitness | Shin splint right before 5K- what should I do? | May 02 2008 20:54 (UTC) |

As a former fitness instructor and runner, I'm very familiar with shin splints. In my case, it was caused by one of two things (1) running "on my toes" - putting too much of the load on my forefoot, and (2) running on an incline. I had to learn to run with a heel, toe, heel, toe motion, especially important on inclines. I also did heel drops and heel raises (standing on a stair or box) before running. And RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation will help resolve the problem. I've had medical professionals tell me not to use heat initially, but rather ice packs. Heat can be added after several days. An anti-inflammatory like Advil or Tylenol will help get through race day. Good Luck!
