Accepted Answer

Exercise: The risk of falls in the Impi challenge is very worrying/risky!  Who knows what the surprise obstacles might be? Talk to your Ob-Gyn, this is worth going in early to discuss.  But missing this year, and holding off till next year is certainly safe.

Question 5

i am a 17-year-old female and i am experiencing an extremely painful strain in both feet every time i exercise. i tried switching shoes and loosening the laces but it doesn't make a difference. how can this be? is there a problem with my feet?

Accepted Answer

: I would expect there is. When standing still, half your weight is placed on each foot. Walking shifts up to your full weight/foot. Running  creates momentum &amp; can place up to 6X your weight on each foot. If the added weight triggered by your exercises triggers pain, there is something wrong with your feet or foot-ware that exercise brings out. See your doc or podiatrist.

Question 6

i've just started to get sharp twinges of pain up my legs with no muscle injury or strain from exercise... any idea what the problem is?

Accepted Answer

Nerve associated: With only those brief details, these 'twinges' could be nerve pain possible stemming from compression... especially if the pain 'shoots' down your leg.  It could just be inflammation compression the nerve.  Try to give yourself a few days rest from physical activity and see if that improves.  Consider a trial of NSAIDs for a few days, as indicated.  But if it persists, see a physician.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Activity: If you were strained and shaky after about 30 minutes, you need to "slow down" a bit until you are comfortable enough to get back where you wanted.
Take your time and in a few weeks or so you will be pleased at what you can do.
Don't overdo anything.
