    I used to get shin splints A LOT and have now beaten them. Here's my suggestions based solely on my experience, on how to get rid of shin splints.

    1. Wear good running shoes (not cross-trainers, or those goofy arched bottom shape-ups shoes)
    2. Good warm-ups followed by light dynamic stretching
    3. Stretching 3 times a day to increase overall muscle flexibility
    4. My shin splints also improved significantly as I lost weight

    I have good shoes..(ck'd gait and all that good stuff) Doing the ice method, sitting elevated right now lol...I know rest but yea I just cant lol....I "think" it was because I would wear the shoes when I would walk/jog but not when I was doing videos such as insanity or jillian's kickboxing.. Just finished doing the kickboxing w/ shoes and noticed a difference and just took it easy on the jumps. .will see if the ice works... :/ thanks!
