Guest Ali Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well hello everyone, my name is Ali. I am doing this starting on Monday (if the snow holds off) and have multiple reasons for doing so. 1.) The color run is coming to my area in a few months and I would like to participate if possible. 2.) I desperately need to lose some weight, and while this year I did loose 30 pounds, I am still 100 lbs over weight. Now, I need advice in a couple of areas. The first of which is that I have weak ankles, is there anything I can do to help strengthen them? And also, it seems like when I do run that the front of my shins hurt. Like there is something wrong with the bone. Anyone ever heard of this before? To be honest, I also have trouble staying motivated, and time is an issue as I'm a grad student, work and intern. The odd are stacked against me it seems, but I am still Willi g to give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi Ali, First, welcome on here. You will do great. I found an article on it for some exercises. http://www.askdoctork.com/are-there-exercises-i-can-do-to-strengthen-my-weak-ankles-and-prevent-sprains-201306154977 See if this could help you. The fron of your shins sounds like shin splints. That is common with runners. Make sure you warm up properly and start running slow to begin with. There are also articles about that too. Hope this helps you. We all motivate each other on here. Post away and we are here for you. You can do it. Hugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
