Swimming

 

Swimming is an excellent low-impact cardio exercise that minimizes stress on the shins. Focus on maintaining a streamlined body position and engaging your core as you use a smooth, elongated stroke. Alternate between different strokes like freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke to work various muscle groups.

Cycling

 

Cycling, whether on a stationary bike or outdoors, provides a robust cardiovascular workout without impacting the shins. Adjust the seat and handlebars to a comfortable height and maintain a steady but challenging pace. Increase the tension or resistance to build endurance and muscle strength.

Elliptical Training

 

Elliptical training combines the benefits of walking and climbing without the jarring impact on your lower legs. Use the handlebars to incorporate upper body movement, and adjust the incline and resistance to increase intensity. Maintain an upright posture and engage the core to enhance stability.

Rowing

 

Rowing provides a full-body workout, enhancing cardiovascular fitness while being gentle on the shins. Begin with a warm-up to set the desired resistance. Focus on a smooth rowing motion: legs first, followed by the core, and finishing with the arms. Keep your back straight and core engaged for optimal performance.

Walking

 

Walking is an accessible form of cardio that protects the shins. Ensure proper footwear with ample support and a comfortable fit. Start with a relaxed stroll and increase your pace to a brisk walk. To intensify the workout, vary your route and include inclines or carry light hand weights.

Water Aerobics

 

Water aerobics is ideal for those seeking a refreshing cardio session without shin impact. Classes typically incorporate movements like water jogging, leg lifts, and arm circles. The water provides resistance, enhancing strength and endurance while cushioning the joints.

Aqua Jogging

 

Aqua jogging simulates the running motion within a pool environment, providing cardio benefits while reducing stress on the shins. Use a flotation belt to maintain an upright posture in deeper water, and keep a natural jogging motion, engaging the core and limbs to propel you.

Step Aerobics

 

Step aerobics involves rhythmic stepping onto and off a raised platform, boosting cardio fitness with reduced shin stress. Modify the height of the step to adjust intensity, and focus on keeping movements smooth and controlled. Integrate arm movements to increase overall exertion.

Cross-Country Skiing (Machine)

 

Using a cross-country skiing machine offers a low-impact cardio workout that emphasizes both the upper and lower body. Consistent, flowing motions simulate skiing and minimize stress on the shins. Keep your movements rhythmic and use the handgrip to involve your arms and shoulders.

Resistance Band Exercises

 

Cardio-focused resistance band exercises can effectively target the cardio system with minimal leg impact. Exercises like band walks, side taps, and seated rows enhance cardiovascular endurance. Maintain proper form, engage the core, and select the appropriate resistance level for a challenging workout.

How to Combine Cardio Exercises with No Shin Pain

 

Swimming and Aqua Jogging

 

  • Combine Swimming with Aqua Jogging to capitalize on water-based activities that minimize stress on the shins. Begin your session with a steady swim, alternating strokes to engage various muscle groups. Transition smoothly into aqua jogging by maintaining core engagement and utilizing a consistent running form in the water. This combination can improve cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength while providing joint relief.

 

Cycling and Elliptical Training

 

  • Pair Cycling with Elliptical Training to maintain cardiovascular intensity with low-impact exercises. Start with a cycling session, ensuring proper bike setup for comfort. Follow this with a period on the elliptical, adjusting incline and resistance to different intensity levels. This approach enables varied muscle engagement and can help prevent workout monotony.

 

Rowing and Resistance Band Exercises

 

  • Alternate Rowing with Resistance Band Exercises to fuse a full-body workout with resistance training. Begin with a rowing session focused on a smooth and flowing motion. After rowing, use resistance bands for exercises like band walks or seated rows, ensuring cardiovascular enhancement and muscle activation without shin strain. This combination promotes comprehensive fitness and balanced muscle development.

 

Walking and Step Aerobics

 

  • Blend Walking with Step Aerobics to achieve a high-intensity session with reduced impact. Initiate with a brisk walk, focusing on proper footwear and varied route terrains. Transition into step aerobics, altering step heights to control intensity while incorporating arm movements. This pairing enhances cardiovascular fitness, providing a balanced endurance workout while safeguarding the shins.

 

Water Aerobics and Cross-Country Skiing (Machine)

 

  • Combine Water Aerobics with Cross-Country Skiing (Machine) for a comprehensive, impact-free cardio routine. Start with water aerobics to utilize buoyancy and water resistance, enhancing strength and flexibility. Move onto a cross-country skiing machine, keeping a rhythmical motion to simulate skiing and engage both upper and lower body muscles. This sequence offers cardiovascular improvement and joint protection.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
