Hi just joined up today and really needing some advice.
I have been running and cycling for the last year, I would say that I run 5Km a day but unfortunately about 3 weeks ago I injured my shin, I have been icing my legs and taking various anti inflamatories but the pain seems to disappear then has reoccured again. Last week it went and I decided to attempt a run but when i began to run I found the pain to return and started to get back ache too. I have been cycling in the meantime cos I find it helps the pain and also keeps my weight down, I know it does not have the same effect as running for weight loss or self satisfaction. Can anyone give me advice on any other forms of exersize I can do to try and keep my weight down. I have been looking into Cross trainers and treadmills, Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ps, love to hear from anyone in Spain, as I live hear at the moment, I am originally from London and moved here for a better climate

thanks
