It's almost like you aren't working out at all! Are you running or walking? Or both?
I'm asking because I need to work out again. I've gone to yoga a lot since my parents were here (and while they were here, because let's be honest, I could use it to escape them) and I've been riding my bike. But I neeed something more fat burny/aerobic and I'm thinking about running again.
My problem is for running I need shoes that will correct my overpronation - if that's how you spell it - and, while it's not an unusual thing at all, no shoes tell you if they're designed for that or not. So I have to go to specific running stores to have someone I trust more than me make the call.
You mean the quad, Zenkitty? I know nothing about it, except my dad ripped his free of the kneecap a few years ago and...yeah, you don't need to hear about that.
Zenkitty, the back is the hamstring and the front is the quadricep.
Brenda, you need motion-control shoes. I've got a pair of New Balances that are designed for that. 825s, I think -- they're very good.
Brenda, this site lets you search their shoes by arch size and running mechanics (including pronation/supination).
is the opposite, 'suela, stability? Or is motion control and stability the same thing?
Oh, thanks. And I need new shoes, now. I've been putting it off.
Hmm. I'm not sure, Kat -- I've just looked at Motion Control, which is designed for pronators and folks who suffer from plantar fasciitis, like me. I think Stability may be side-to-side control, rather than diagonal.
Huh! Shoes are so complex. I should so start running again. Maybe tomorrow. Or Tuesday.
