Very informative! I am with you on needing exercises I can do at home since I don't go to a gym often.

My problem spot would be my heels. The bottoms are very sensitive and get tender with all the pounding. I also have struggled with my achilles and the arches of my feet...I guess its just all my feet that are my problem! Hah!

I'm exactly like LB, I have been doing stretching exercises for my hamstrings as part of my PT from runners knee. Main one I do is supine leg stretch. Hamstring curls are no joke, that is really impressive that you can do them with 1 leg! Main thing to concentrate on for hamstring curls is that your knees are aligned going forward, don't want to let them splay out to the inside or outside.

I think doing body weight exercises is enough a lot of the time, rarely do you need the fancy machines in the gym.

Great post! I find whenever I happen to work out my hamstrings they are sore for days indicating that I need to work them out more! Thanks for the tips. My problem area right now is hip/IT band, but luckily some amazing stretches and a foam roller are keeping the pain to a minimum...for now...fingers crossed!
