How Much Is Too Much |
Start out slowly. If you've been inactive for years, you can't run the Boston Marathon after 2 weeks of training. Begin with a 10-minute period of light exercise or a brisk walk every day and gradually increase how hard you exercise and for how long. Weight training, or strength training, builds strength and muscles. |

To prevent a reinjury, wear an elastic knee brace during sports. Strengthen the muscles around your knee, particularly your quadriceps (squats and leg extensions may be particularly good preventive measures).

Strengthen your ankles and legs to take the pressure off your shins. Stretch your shins by sitting on your knees, back on your heels, with your toes pointed. When your foot hits the ground, you feel like you're landing on hot coals or tacks. The symptoms of Plantar fasciitis symptoms are worse when you're warming up than when you're working out. |  |

Carbohydrates |
When you start with enough muscle glycogen, protein supplies about 5 percent of energy. Otherwise it may supply up to 10 percent. Saturated fats come in foods from animals (i.e., meats, eggs, milk, cheese, etc.) and unsaturated fats in some vegetable products (i.e., corn oil). |

You are tired, thirsty, and sweaty. As practice wraps up, you have just enough time to duck into the rest room, change your shirt, and slather on a fresh layer of deodorant before heading off to meet your friends for a 4:00 PM movie. So what is wrong with this picture? You did not take the time to rehydrate. |  |
