Mental block to working out?
I feel nervous admitting this but here it goes... I don’t necessarily have a fear of working out, but I have a very difficult time getting past the “this is very uncomfortable” phase, and I tend to quit before a workout can have any benefit. Basically, I quit as soon as I start to feel the burn. I’ve tried different…

Running form
My husband was running behind me yesterday and noticed that I tend to sway my feet slightly outward when I run. I figured I had some form issues.

Proper running form
Lately, I have had pain in my inner calves during and after my runs. I make sure I do my warm ups and cool downs and that my shoes and insoles are in good shape. I'm suspecting that my running form is bad in some way, but I'm not sure what it is I'm doing wrong. Maybe doing a slo-mo video will show me. What is good running…
