When it comes to exercise, muscles<\/a> and bones<\/a> are clearly the stars of the show. But to feel your best and age well, you also need to take a little time each week to exercise the body\u2019s supporting cast: connective tissues like ligaments and tendons, especially if you\u2019ve injured them in the past.<\/p>\n

How you do it matters. What works for ligaments doesn\u2019t work for tendons, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach part responds to different stimulus,\u201d said Jay Dicharry, a professor of physical therapy at Oregon State University and the author of \u201cRunning Rewired.\u201d \u201cJust as you don\u2019t treat each of your children the same, you shouldn\u2019t treat all of your body parts the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to keep your tendons, ligaments and joints healthy and less likely to suffer injury. As with any new exercise, consult your physician or physical therapist if you have concerns.<\/p>\n
