→Injuries
Most people know about runner’s high. But for most runners, injury is as much a part of the experience as euphoria. Studies vary widely, but it is estimated that between 30 and 80 percent of regular runners are injured in a given year. Shin splints, runner’s knee, iliotibial band syndrome, plantar fasciitis: For many years, everyone from coaches to biologists to casual joggers has accepted such injuries almost as a necessary evil... But a growing number of researchers, many of them at [[Harvard]], are convinced it doesn’t have to be that way. [http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/04/chasing-down-a-better-way-to-run/]

Avoid high-impact aerobics. Most aerobics instructors and many students suffer injuries to their shins, calves, lower back, ankles, and knees because of the repetitive, jarring movements of some aerobics routines. If you have continuing pain during an exercise, stop and don't continue unless you can do so painlessly. [http://www.wellnessletter.com/html/fw/fwFit01GetFit.html]
