About 15 years ago, I took up treadmill walking and loved it..lost 40 pounds in about 8 months, but also walked my way into a double case of heel tendonitis. I gave away the treadmill, gained the weight back and now am am abt. 200 lbs.(female, 5 ft. 3")I am going to try and strengthen the calves, so I can get back into walking. There is hope!<br />S.

If pictures are worth 'a thousand words' then well-produced and demonstrated videos such as yours are worth ten-thousand!<br /><br />I've been plagued with Achilles Tendinitis/Tendinosis problems particularly over the past two years. While I've currently got that problem in control (thanks to progressively weighted standing eccentric stretches of the affected Achilles, and my new running stride having a more rapid cadence, somewhat shorter length and a forefoot/midfoot landing), I believe that additionally following your calf strengthening and stretching exercises will be very helpful.Mark U.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04792726660751354015noreply@blogger.com
