Stick to your workouts with kinesiology tape.

Pop! Crick! Snap! Crack!

Your body's trying to tell you something.

Whether it's an overuse injury like shin splints or normal aches and pains from (cough) getting older, you're probably suffering from a case of the ouchies. But that doesn't mean you can't hit the gym like your usual bad self.

Stick it to your injury with KT Tape ($12.99), an easy-to-use, pre-cut kinesiology tape designed to ease pain and to help your body heal. Pro athletes have been using kinesiology tape for years, but it's only recently become available to the rest of us. Here's how it works: Strips of tape are arranged in specific patterns (depending on your injury) to support joints and muscles. This allows you to move without pain and prevents further injury. You can wear the thin, stretchy, waterproof tape for up to five days at a time.
