Shin Splints are every runner’s nightmare! 😱

Shin refers to the front area of our leg below the knee 🧎‍♂️

The shin bone is known as tibia 🦴

Prolonged running can tire & lead to wear and tear of a particular muscle called the tibialis anterior 🥩

With some runners we see the spirit of going for the run despite pain 🔔
 
Inflammation and lack of recovery can be the primary reasons for these muscles to hurt 🤕

Commonly, impact based activities or sports such as basketball, track athletics, etc may cause this 🏀
 
Now, How can one reduce the chances of this happening? 

🕺🏻Here is the answer:
One needs to make the Tibialis Anterior muscle strong by training them.

One simple strengthening exercise for these muscles is performing toe raises ✅

This exercise can be done using resistance bands or even a rope. 📿

Remember that one has to train the muscles by using appropriate load and frequency 🗓

Being a small group of muscles, these can get fatigued easily and should be done with proper guidance.
 
If you are an athlete or a runner, make sure you train these small and neglected muscles. 

It will make a huge difference in your sport and performance. 📈

If you want to know how to do this exercise, DM me. 👍🏻

I would be happy to help. 

Share it with your friends and other runners and help them out!
