Okay so I realized that fitness is important for your health and all of that, and that apparently the obesity rate in children is higher nowadays, but seriously. Theres a fitness class at our school, i took it first semester of grade 12 and now the second semester.
within the first week of first semester, I got shin splints because we automatically started doing long distance running, 3 times a week, starting at 2k and going up to 10k. I got shin splints but didnt realize because I have never had them, so i kept running. This messed my shins up more, so when i finally got a doctors appointment, it was basically beyond repair. From there i took physio, and it didnt really help, they gave me excercises and all that, and i got off running for half of the semester. when this semester staretd ive been running alot. today i got level 17 in the beep test and now my shins are f*cked again. My physiotherapist thinks I might have a fracture, but I love running. I can't logn distance run, but I can sprint. It sucks when your the only one NOT running in a fitness class, but theres no way im dropping it
Fitness really sucks because every aprt of your body hurts after a workout, even for doing it for a year, it still hurts just as much.
But i guess if i dont wanna get fat, i have to. :)
btw , just so you know, if you don't stretch your muscles properly after you run and what not, that is what causes shin splints, it isn't because you started running right away. because I also take fitness, and before fitness even started, (I didn't know this at the time.) I would run the 2k route. Maybe ask Mr. Bolger proper ways to stretch so it doesn't get as bad as it did.
ReplyDeleteWell I took it last semester and it started to heal but it only keeps getting worse because i might have a something-fracture. Bolger doesnt do stretches with us or any of that stuff, even this semester, so
ReplyDeleteohhh, well if it's a fracture why don't you like just take it easy or something because it'll only get worse as you continue to do stuff with it :| Yeah, it kind of sucks he doesn't do stretches with our class either, but sometimes you just have to do things on your own.
