Runners, listen up.

Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or a beginner, many people don’t realize that your shoes need to replaced every 250 miles. If you are due for some new shoes, make sure to buy the right kind for your feet.

• Motion Control Shoes – Designed for people with low or no arches, these shoes are for runners who strike the ground on the outer edge of their foot. Avoid overly stiff shoes as these decrease your perception of ground strike and lead to new injuries.

• Stability or Neutral Shoes – Designed for people with normal or average arches and running mechanics. The shoe contains some cushioning to absorb shock and prevent injuries and some rigidity to avoid pronation.

• Cushioned Shoes – Designed for people with high arched feet. Their footprint will typically leave a thin band along the foot’s edge. As they run weight is distributed from heel strike to the outer edge of the foot and small toes that bear the brunt of “lift off.” This shoe is more flexible and absorbs the shock created by the lack or rotation (under-pronation) created by their running style.

More gardening can mean more muscle pain and stiffness.

Be sure to treat your outdoor hobby like a workout – warming up beforehand and taking time to cool down afterwards.

Also, be aware of your posture while gardening. Kneel and alternate your stance and movements as often as possible to keep the muscles and body balanced.

Choose the right size bike to avoid cycling injuries

Proper bike fit can dramatically affect your comfort level. 🚴

A rough estimate for choosing the proper frame size is to subtract 10.5 inches from your inseam. Straddling a proper-sized bike will leave approximately 1” clearance between your groin and the top of the frame.

If you’re not comfortable doing this on your own, visit any bike shop that offers custom bicycle fittings. 👍
