]]> Comment on When Good Exercises Go Bad by Sharon http://blog.thebodymechanic.com/2010/08/03/when-good-exercises-go-bad/#comment-159 Sharon Sat, 07 Aug 2010 19:17:02 +0000 http://blog.thebodymechanic.com/2010/08/03/when-good-exercises-go-bad/#comment-159 <p>I'm always surprised that more people don't kill themselves at the gym.

]]> Comment on Self-Myofascial Release by Sharon http://blog.thebodymechanic.com/2010/06/06/self-myofascial-release/#comment-43 Sharon Wed, 30 Jun 2010 18:41:06 +0000 http://blog.thebodymechanic.com/2010/06/06/self-myofascial-release/#comment-43 This has made a major impact in my running. I was having painful knee issues, starting to feel pretty old. Now I roll out my thighs twice a day and the problem is solved. When I forget, I can really tell the difference. I'm also using a tennis ball on my hip. It all hurts at first, but then it decreases and the overall result is totally worth it. This has made a major impact in my running.
