Running Since it's the summer for me, I wanted to start an excersize I can do daily and enjoy the warm weather. I wanted it to be something like walking or running, but I dont think walking does that much for your body, so I was leaning more towards running.
The problem is, I have trouble when I try to run. My teeth feel like there's something wrong with them, like they're bleeding or something. It sounds really weird and i'm going to go to my doctor about it because I want to do a running type excersize this summer, but I wanted to know if you guys have ever come into contact with a problem like that. Thanks.
Oh and I'm an 18 year old girl if that makes a difference.

I think I know what you mean concerning the problem with your teeth when running. It could actually be that the force of the wind against your teeth when you're running is hurting them because you have sensitive teeth. Make an appointment with your doctor asap to ensure it's nothing more serious and/or to get treatment.
However, don't underestimate walking. It can actually be equally as beneficial as running, can be more enjoyable and in your case, less painful.
Build it up slowly. Start with a 10-15 minute BRISK (this is the key here, you won't be getting the benefits if you're just strolling) walk around your block or wherever you feel most comfortable everyday. Step it up to 20-25 minutes when you get used to this and add 10 minutes everytime you feel able. Obviously you may not have the time or energy to walk for an hour at a time everyday, so don't feel bad if you can only manage 10-15 minutes some days. If you're finding it too difficult, reduce your walking time by 10 minutes for a while. ]
