This is why so many runners and athletes in various sports suffer from chronic shin splints for years.<br /> I ran track as an high school athlete and developed shin splints during my last two seasons largely as the result of some dangerous training techniques. As a college soccer and basketball player I couldn't afford to be slowed down by shin splints and went in search of a solution to this problem.<br /> The main cause of shin splints is an imbalance in strength between the soleus/gastrocnemius group and the tibialis anterior. This causes the muscle fascia to literally be torn away from the bone. I found a very simple, yet unorthodox exercise that was completely effective at eliminating my shin splints and I went my entire college career without shin splints. To this day I continue to use this exercise and have never had shin splints again.<br /> I made a simple video a couple of years ago showing this exercise on how to prevent shin splints because it's kind of difficult to explain. Easier just to show you.<br /> Hope this helps you all out. Let me know how it goes. </p> <p>Prevent Shin Splints with One Exercise<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBkoV-fSBR8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBkoV-fSBR8</a> </p> http://sweat365.com/forum/topic/739#post-3061 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:55:22 +0000 danpine 3061@http://sweat365.com/forum/ <p>If you want to avoid the pain and frustration of shin splints (and who doesn't?) check out the simple solution offered in this video.
