Shin splints usually are cause due to overuse of running/jumping movements and a weak anterior tibialis. Walking just on your heals with your balls of your feat will help strengthen them along with squats and deadlifts. I would take it easy on running/jumping movements until then.

I'm 5'8, 44 and would love to be at 163 - currently 175 but started lifting and I look better now (and fit into the same clothes) that I wore last summer at 166.....

Thanks much......squats i can do but what are deadlifts ?? can i do spin instead ??

mines 145 and then tone up. I was 135 before and felt too thin. I have a broad frame (shoulders, ribs, hips) and carry my weight well.

Deadlifts are basically picking weight off the ground. These are very technical lifts so make sure you have someone show you how to do them properly so you don't hurt yourself. Spinning should be fine as long as you do nice fluid pedal strokes when you do it but it won't help build your anterior tibials mucles since you are pushing down with the ball of your foot on the bike pedal.

Joining a gym isn't necessary but proper training and knowing what you are doing is necessary so you can progress without hurting yourself. Deadlift is what I am doing in my profile picture.

rudegyal_b

im 5`8, currently 142, shooting for 133 if i wanna keep all my lean mass...the last 10lb is bloody impossible!

MinMin97

I am 5'7" an have a medium frame. I am trim and in perfect shape at a fit 138-142lbs. More or less than that seems out of my best range. I am so happy I am doing this!!! MinMin

doobabe

Im just over 5'7 and I weigh about 135. I was closer to 130, but put on a few lbs when I started strength training.

Wclassystephanie

I am 5'2 and my weight is 171 . Mostly muscle but have some toning to do. My ideal weight would be 145 if possible with my body type...

rubyannmartinez

Hi everyone I'm 25 years old and 5'8" my current weight is 200 lbs. and my goal weight is about 150, but when I was in high school I was about 138 but I did look toned and curved at the same time. So I don't really want to stress myself with thinking about the 138 I'm giving myself a goal that is reachable now so when said goal is met I might change it to 140.

same89

I started at about 150 and now I am at 130, I was at 125 but then I gained some back, since I am shorter my goal is about 115 or 120. Most of all I just want my darn tummy to go away!!!
