Relieve those side stitches

A sharp pain just below the rib cage that always seems to pop up when you're working out your hardest. It's called the side stitch.

To ease the ache (so you can get on with your run), take your fist and press it beneath your rib cage while taking deep breaths from your belly for about 10 steps.

In about 30 seconds, the pain should subside, so you can get on back to your workout.
