achilles tendon
Recently, after coming back from (an extended) spring break vacation, I have picked up with my exercise routine with full determination. I returned to the classes at my gym that I normally would go to. The first part of the week was fine, but then Friday morning I noticed during the step class that my achilles in my left leg starting hurting me. It went away by the end of the class and I didnt remember about it until Saturday when it did the same thing. Again, it stopped bothering me during class at some point.
I did take time to warm up and stretch with the class, and I am wondering what could be the issue here? I don't want to aggravate it to the point where I can't do step anymore. Could it be my shoes? They are running shoes maybe 4 months old...
or maybe certain step moves that put more strain on them? any ideas?

hmm.. I don't really know but you may want to experiment with the way you step - are you keeping your whole foot on the step? Are you truly utilizing your quads? I'll try looking up some things.. if I find anything, I'll let you know. I hope you find the problem and the solution!
well, my aerobics instructor advised I change my running shoes into cross trainers. So, I didnt do any more step for the two days before I got knew shoes. I havent had any trouble since, but this past week i've only done two step classes. I think I will limit my step to two or three times a week.
