Below-the-Knee Balance


As with your hamstrings and quadriceps, your calves may get too strong and tight while your shins get relatively weaker when you run regularly. You might have this imbalance if you have chronic Achilles tendon problems. To strengthen your shin muscles, write the alphabet in the air with your big toe. It sounds strange, but try it. You’ll feel right away how effective this exercise can be.
