**Hi Carm, just recently discovered your site while looking for help with working out and weightloss tips, and do luv your wonderful and helpful videos. I recently discovered that I have hallux limitus with my left toe, which limits my running, etc-but, praying to be delivered from the symptoms soon!

[carmeliavanhorn]

Hi there! I'm glad you enjoy the vids. I wish you well with your toe health.

Hey, thanks for this video, remembering to push my hips forward cut me down from an 8:10 mile to a 7:40 mile immediately. :-)

I'm going to give this a whirl next time I'm out running, thanks!

Hi, Carm. I'm watching your video at work without the sound 'cause you are sexy-sexy!

1) I know it will reduce pressure on the shins because it shifts the emphasis more to the calves.

As far as your knees, I suggest you check you check the arch of your feet to make sure they haven't fallen. If they have fallen, this could explain your knee discomfort.

2) I make sure my running shoes have proper support and room in the toe area and replace them every few months. I wear the same shoes for running outside as running on a treadmill.
