Hi, I've had problems with shin splints in the past when I was running a lot, and now I'm in my second week of Insanity and I'm getting them again. I really really don't want to stop doing Insanity, but I know that the best way to let shin splints heal is by stopping all intense activity. Does anyone have any other advice on how to help them heal and to keep doing insanity? I've been icing for ten minutes and taking ibuprofen after workouts.

    Do the exercises on a yoga mat. Weight it down with dumbbells if needed. I am doing this same thing myself. Also, several people have recommended crosstrainer shoes. I find the yoga mat has helped.
