Check these exercises out: http://www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/0161-shin-splints-treatment.htmWith the elliptical, tighten your core so that you don't rotate your hips -- it makes it harder but you'll avoid subtle damage to hip joints.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336404952882579145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102723.post-61388285632709326882004-02-20T00:38:15.000-06:002004-02-20T00:38:15.000-06:00[Imported comment* originally authored by Iffy.] S...[Imported comment<a href="http://www.pettijohn.com/2009/12/blogger-migration.html" rel="nofollow">*</a> originally authored by <a href="http://www.davidiffland.com" rel="nofollow">Iffy</a>.] She's actually called the twirler. She's a part of the Marching Illini (in technicality. The Illinettes are as well). Twirlers are a big deal in most major college campuses. I believe all of the Big 10 schools that I've been to for football games had a twirler. Most also have an over-the-top drum major that goes along with the twirler. There are twirler competitions for all age levels, including college.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336404952882579145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102723.post-52921852629378543772004-02-20T00:06:44.000-06:002004-02-20T00:06:44.000-06:00[Imported comment* originally authored by Erika .]...[Imported comment<a href="http://www.pettijohn.com/2009/12/blogger-migration.html" rel="nofollow">*</a> originally authored by Erika .] Baton girl: haven't ever been one myself, but I can definitely see how being 'that' girl would be really cool. If you're a cheerleader, dance team member, etc. - you're just one of many. There is only one baton girl - and to be the only person performing that skill during the halftime show (I'd imagine to many baton-ers) is very prestigious (?)<br />Tying shoes: I still double knot laces, both mine and Aidan's. Bud always makes fun of me for it.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336404952882579145noreply@blogger.com
