Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Excellent exercise Mark. A few years ago I suffered with very painful Achilles Tendons. I believe it was caused during the last steep downhill mile of a Half Marathon where I sprinted to the finish. I searched the internet for help and found a report by a Triathlete who had similarly damaged her Achilles and she found a stretching exercise that helped to alleviate the injury.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
OK 'guys' this may seem pathetic but I THINK I might be getting to grips with my treadmill (jury's out on that).Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Yes apologies if I sounded flippant, but I am serious.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Not many can use a treadmill however good it is without holding on. If you don't hold on you can easily lose your balance which might lead to a fall or a twisted back quite easily. Just get used to it WITH holding on and forget the idea of leaving the handle bars go. Try to relax whilst altering your gait and body position so you feel more comfortable. Practice makes perfect and in time you won't feel so awkward on it.Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Just regarding achilles tendon injuries I had a really bad one about 13 years ago after a particularly painstaking, steep and slippery descent of Red Pike in the Lake district. Once it recovered I had scar tissue so I'd wear one of these at night when I went through my long distance running phase. It forces your foot to be at a right angle so the scar doesn't heal into a contracted lump from pointing feet at night.Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Best thing to stretch all your tendons to the limit is yoga. Men have no excuse now as there is Broga :
