2.Suggestions :-

*To avoid the repetition that leads to overworked muscles and joints, incorporate a bunch of different movements into your day

*strengthen your whole body and not on particular parts

*have a balanced diet with enough calories

*run on soft or flat surfaces

*warm up before training. Warms up increase blood flow to working muscles and thereby reduces stiffness.

*increase workouts gradually and not suddenly. If we increase suddenly the muscles get more chances of injury.
