Shin Pain While Walking

Shin Pain While Walking

I love walking, but when I walk at a fast pace my shins really start to hurt. What can I do to stop the pain?

First, make sure your walking shoes have good arch support, since shin splints often happen because of a fallen arch or flat feet. Also, try to avoid walking hills until you've walked on a flat surface for at least five minutes. This will warm up your shins so they don't become overstressed.

If you want to strengthen your shins, here's an easy towel exercise you can do! Sit in a chair, your feet bare, and place a rolled-up towel just in front of your toes. Grab the towel between your toes and your forefeet and unroll it, flexing the arches of your feet at the same time. Try to do this for 15 to 30 seconds every other day. It will help you keep up the good work and stay fit.
