I agree with the last post. I run nearly 33 miles a week at most and often I suffer shin splints if I fail to stretch my lower legs efficiently. I uaually do the downward dog and place one foot onto the heel of th other.
– sit in a chair place legs to either side of chair and press down on tops of toes
-stand and place one foot infront of you while leaning into the heel (rear calf stretch) also you an reach down and grap the toe variation
– stand and place the ball of one foot against the wall and lean into it.
these are a few stretches I do after long runs.
I have found that I avoid injury longer when I take the time to stretch well after a run—especially after!!
good luck. ciao

Be careful if you pick hardwood. Make sure you have a very durable protectant on the floor. Don't go with engineered hardwood. I have hardwood floors but they were engineered to have a very shiny surface. While the floor looks beautiful the surface of the floor causes a lot of friction and so barefooted it's like hell doing a turn. ANother problem I have is that I cannot wear heels because the heels dig into the floor. I've actually left gouges in the floor and had to quickly stop using them. (booooooo) so make sure the wood you choose is in a very durable surface..heck I'd take my shoes to the gallery and rub them on the sample cuz I'm ghetto like that lol!

I'm thinkin if I can get one of my friends to come with so I have someone to watch my daughter (she's only 3) whilst there….
-
wow! What a response! Um, I don't really have that problem anymore sadly he is in afghanistan soooo he really can't watch anymore. Now my biggest issue is keeping my daughter off while I practice lol, I just try to do it on days when I don't have homework and my daughter is napping. Needless to say I hardly ever practice. Thanks so much for all of your coments, suggestions, and ancidotes. I love that you all have taken the time to post.

hmmmm only 5 hours from me (taps finger in contemplation)

No idea how that would work…I've been using two twin air mattresses velcro'd together…yes you may laugh immediately lol!

Lilbit is right. I had that exact joint stuck too…You can totally unscrew the A pole from the base..just be careful theres a bunch lube on the giant base bolt thingy. Remove the adjuster cover screws and then you can unscrew main pole A from the base. Once taken off you wil totally have access to the joint and b able to bang it out. Be careful not to lose the hex screws..those tihngs are squirly and like to hide lol. Good luck!! 🙂
have a shiny Penny day hun.

Just to me safe, ceck the center knot on the joint and make sure it extends out of the joint and is not flush. (this is so it will catch in the half circlar cutouts on the poles) that way it won't spin around inside the pole…
Also check the cutouts. Sometimes the cut outs become damaged when the center knot spins past them. this type of damage will alsi cause a spinning joint.
Lastly, when you put the pole together be sure to seat the key completely in the joint. You can't really over tighten it, and the only way to strip the bolt is to not have the key properly seated. Be sure to alternate taghtening the joint on both sides. Once the pole is up go ahead and triple check each section because som settling may occur when th epole is upright. Seat the key again and give it a quick chek to ensure it is infact tight enough at both ends.
I'm glad you were able to remove the joint, this can be a very annoying experience.Once you've dealt with this situation you will have more confidence when you put your pole together again, and you will know what to do if it should happen again.
Glad things are working out! YAY!!
have a shiny penny day! :-0)

I’m not sure exactly what has happened. Do you mean that your xjoint has twisted inside the pole? If so, then generally the nice folks at xpole will likely tell you the same thing…if you can’t pull the joint out then you have to bang it out or replace both parts. It’s easier to bang it out and hope it doesn’t ruin the pole, then replace the joint. There isn’t another way to unwedge it. You could try to use some grip aid and attempt to twist it out with another person, that helped me once but I think I may have just been lucky. Please see my vid about the xpert- as I’ve had this problem before. Either joint wasn’t tightened evenly and tight enough, or the “nub” in the center ofthe joint did not have enough height to catch the half circular divet inside of the pole, either of these could cause the joint to spin freely inside the pole or cause the pole piece to rotate around the joint. Since only one half of the joint is stuck it is safe to assume that the joint may not have been extended evenly. Xpoleus is really good about helping customers remedy these problems asthey are quite common. I hope some rid bit of info helps ya here. Good luck Hun!
