Repetitive stress injuries can be prevented by cross training. Repetitive motion or repetitive activity over time can lead to stress fractures, tendonitis and other more serious overuse injuries. There are ways to incorporate other activities and exercise the body without doing the same things over and over again. For example:
- Use Pilates and yoga to give the body a rest, but, at the same time, give it an active recovery.
- Get in the pool.
- Use the bike instead of running all the time.
