a little free PT

no co-pay.
no insurance.
no appointment.
just a little advice.
because so many girls I know have taken up running.
and I love it!
but running can be hard on the body.
too many people experience real injuries or at least aches & pains with the pounding of the pavement.
{and i do mean pounding!}
the stronger your muscles are around your knees, the less pounding your joints will have to take as the muscles absorb some of that!
so here are a few basic exercises I think are a must if you run.
they are simple.
and require no equipment.

but your knees will thank you later!
happy running!!

So, basically you are telling me I have to EXERCISE so I can be in shape to EXERCISE!!

It's just not fair!!!

Yes, more advice I know is good for me but not likely to actually follow ;)

I know this is a really old blog post but thank you for posting it. I recently started running and my left knee is achy the day after. I'm going to put your suggestions in action.
Thank you!
