Step Class (Lower Body)
A class with strenuous up and down motion, pushing on the feet and legs will for sure through time give you some problems. Just like many runners and heavy walkers have problems with Plantar Fasciitis; this is the same for people who attend Step Classes for many years. Many people have complained about Calf and Hamstring problems as well after years of attending. Ways to help this out is to rest and help the injury heal.
Shin splints are also another injury that may occur during Step Class. There are symptoms to look out for with shin splints like tenderness over the inside of the shin, lower leg pain, swelling at times, lumps and bumps over the bone, when bending the toes downward there is pain, and a redness over the inside of the shin. Rest and applying ice are a great way of helping you get back into action.

Yoga Injuries

Normally you would look at Yoga being a very relaxing, non-contact exercise, which in the long run is, but does not go without risks of injuries. Injuries through Yoga do not happen right away, like many other fitness related injuries, Yoga injuries on the other hand happen after a long term period of performing. They commonly happen from improper techniques and over-stretching. Yoga injuries have boomed since the increase in popularity in the last few years.

There are three common parts of the body that are related, with one being much more common than the other two. The back is the most common place for injury, because of the emphasis of keeping good posture, in which many people do not have. The other two spots are the shoulders and the elbows. Frozen shoulder is an injury to look out for if you are over the age of 40 and performing this fitness routine, picking your body up and not being properly stretched could in time give this injury.
The lotus pose (Half-Lotus Pose is where one foot is on top of the thigh, while the other remains tucked loosely under the opposite knee) is the exercise to look out for, and if not properly done can lead to injury. If any Yoga pose is feeling very uncomfortable and hurting, stop it right away.

Broccoli.

I had the most delicious steamed Broccoli in my life tonight, made my yours truly. Great with any meal, or just by itself!
