shin splints

[NSXTC]

Do you have shin spints or weak shin muscles. BIG difference. Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. Pull your toes/feet towards your body lifting your heels off the floor and repeat about 30-40 times. If this causes the same pain you feel when running or walking fast then its muscular and you can work it out. Do this exercise a few times a day 4-5 sets 50 reps and you will be fine in a few weeks. If it's shin splints you are in for a more serious recovery. Sprints, yep sprints cures shin splints over time. It strengthens the shin bones. Good luck!

I used to get really bad shin splints when i played ball. What helped me was heel inserts in my shoes and cleats. Also, Similar to what was said above, every calve workout i do, I also do 4-6 sets for my shins. Instead of sitting on the floor and doing those "toe curls" you can also do them on a machine with weights. Find a lay down leg curl machine. Sit on it facing backwards with your legs straight and your top of your feet underneath the curl pad. Now just try to curl your toes back toward you. Do 15-10 reps each set. light weight. And you should have a good burn after each set. This is more of a preventative for shin splints though. Hope that helps
