Chiropractic Elk Grove

We are coming up on another weekend.  For some of you it’s the only time you get to exercise.  We are expecting great weather this weekend, here in Elk Grove.  72 degrees F on Saturday and Clear.  So if you are a weekend warrior you might think of going for a walk, jog or a run.  If you do so, I wanted to give you a few tips.  Being that we don’t want you to get hurt and you don’t normally do it make sure you go out there with the right equipment. 

I bought a pair of running shoes at The Running Zone at 8470 Elk Grove Blvd.  There phone number is 916-478-9663.  They did such a great job at fitting me for the right shoes.  They had me walk up and down the middle of their store in order to first “diagnose” me as a pronator, supinator, or something in between.  They can even determine/tell you if there is an arch in your feet that might be missing.  Once that is determined the store has the shoes on the walls seperated into those different type of categories. 

Their sales people take all the guess work out of what type of shoe is best for you.  After that all you have to do is pick the color, really, style and brand you think you might like.  They will bring out a couple and have you try them on.  It’s kind of like this weird magical thing happens.  One of the three or so pairs they bring out for you to try on will feel like they were made for you. 

They know how to size them to your feet.  They will actually bring you a half a size or full size larger than what you normally wear.  It might look or feel different but it is what makes them feel like you are walking on clouds.  If you can’t make it to the store or want to give picking out your own shoes on your own, which I don’t recommmend, The Running Zone’s, Bob Wischnia, has written and posted an article on How To Choose the Best Running Shoes for You on the left hand side of the their website page at http://runningzone.us. They also seen to be having an event, Healthy Kids Fun Run for children on April 25th.

Have a great weekend,
