The Point:
Repetition is good if you’re a student cramming for a test or a politician hammering a message home, but for a runner, the repetitive motion can wreck a body good. Tense IT (iliotibial) bands, psoas muscles, hips, chest and legs are often culprits behind joint pain, muscle strain, herniated discs and torn ligaments, among others. Yoga is the easiest way to avoid pain or injury. Read on and loosen up.
