The most important thing you can do!<br /><br />ALso, stenghen the inner part of your knee. Sit on the ground, back straight legs straight in front of you. Turn your toes outward and do little leg raises. You only need to come a couple of inches off the ground. Do both legs (roll both legs too). Stregthening the inner knee will help balance your leg (since the pain is on the outside!).<br /><br />Also, at the gym, do the leg extensions (I dont know if that is what it is called) - the one where you sit and your knees are bent at a 90 degree angle and you raise them up.<br /><br />Most importantly, foam roll like crazy! :)<br /><br />The best thing about ITband pain is that even though it hurts like hell, it is easily treatable and cureable in only a few days! When it stops hurting, keep doing all of the above so that it doesn't pop back up!<br /><br />Hope this helps! :)All Things Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592591843731660125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649196569615951145.post-71241683111943107032010-11-03T10:19:04.105-04:002010-11-03T10:19:04.105-04:00Stretch, foam roll, ICE and do some xtraining in l...Stretch, foam roll, ICE and do some xtraining in lieu of running today to use some different muscles but still maintain fitness. I've continually dealt with it off and on and when it flairs up bad I usually end up taking a week off and just really hitting the gym for xtraining all while stretching, foam rolling and icing like my life depends on it! Good luck chica!Jen Feenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857381064146340597noreply@blogger.com
