Your running form sucks Try this instead!

Running, everyone does. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or stay active, it’s the best exercise for beginners and experts alike.

But there is a problem. You’ve probably been running in the wrong direction the whole time. I don’t mean the address. I mean how your feet touch the ground every time you take a step to make you run faster. Called the “heel strike.”

All the time? You might be thinking. “This guy thinks he knows what he’s talking about.” No, I just want you to save yourself. Saved from the consequences of leg cramps.

shin splints caused by the type of activity you may be doing; running for example. Tenderness and swelling of the lower legs.

Very common with runners. “Sounds painful,” you say. What if I told you that you can prevent this simply by running the right way?

Stop hitting heels

This is the problem you are facing. You run as you walk. Try hitting the middle of your feet or the ball of your foot. You jumped before right? Or did he run instead? This is how you should be running.

Almost instant improvements (…or at least lessen the impact of leg cramps)

When you run the right way, like when you run on the ball of your foot, you get full range like jumping with every step you take. Almost like a gazelle. When you strike with the heel, your shins take that force; all the impact of hitting the concrete or hard ground you’re running on, then, in turn, you get leg cramps.

Adjust the way you run

Do you remember in The Matrix when Neo opens his eyes for the first time? Blurry and out of focus? That’s the best way to describe the feeling. The first time you run on the balls of your feet, you will feel uncomfortable. You might even want to go back to your old clothes. Do your best to stay consistent. That calf muscle pain appears. That’s the first time in forever using them. That will subsidize when they get used to it when you run this way. Is your speed slower? Don’t worry, it’s just your muscles sore, you need to get used to this and then run at the same speed you once ran in no time.

Hey, improving your career shouldn’t be a chore. It will give you more air as if you no longer feel so tired running.
