Description: Harden your Shins
- Rolling exercise:
Take a bottle in both hands and roll it slowly up and down the shin bone.
Keep in mind that you have to roll the bottle slightly on the inside of the shin.
There is a muscle ( tibialis ) on the outside.
- Knocking exercise:
Knock the bottle to the shinbone, but not very hard.
The knocking should not hurt or leave bruises.
Don't knock harder than you would knock a door and please... don't break the bottle on the shin.

- Roll 40 times, knock 20 times. ( breath the same speed you roll - knocks are fast and light )
