Do your tight IT bands keep you from working out on a regular basis?

Tight IT bands are one of the most common complaints among people who try to exercise consistently, especially when doing running and other forms of endurance exercise. They can also be one of the most debilitating, as well, stopping many otherwise active people from working out for months on end.

So if your IT bands are tight, are you just doomed to having to rest and become deconditioned until they feel better?

Or are there ways you can workout without making your IT band tightness worse?

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out specific principles for you to follow with your workouts if you have tight IT bands.

Not only will these principles help keep you active despite the IT band tightness, they can also help you get to the root of what is causing this issue.

If you feel like tight IT bands are keeping you from exercising how you want, listen up!

What we share in this discussion can finally change that for you.
