How To Avoid Shin Splints And Stress Fractures

Engage In Cross-Training

Doing the same exercise all the time often results in overworked muscles and, in the case of too much running, shin splints. Instead of running every day, try switching out running for another workout, such as weight training, cycling, or even swimming. These other exercises will use different muscles, and as such, there will be less of a risk of overusing certain muscles. Besides which, cross-training is proven to increase an individual’s strength and endurance, which means they will be able to run faster and longer than they would without cross-training.
