Treadmill vs. road
Many runners debate the question, "should I train on a treadmill or on the road?" Both have benefits and limitations.

When we exercise, our glutes help us to stabilize our pelvis and our hips. Building the glutes will increase your power as you exercise. Here are a few exercises to help you be injury-free while you train.

Athletes sometimes develop pain in their hips during training. It can start on the top, inside or outside part of the hip. The specific location of the pain can help diagnose the problem.
Getting active
Maybe you're already active, or maybe you're considering starting a new activity - whatever activity you are getting ready for, there are a few basic training principles that apply to all physical activities.
Winter workout checklist
