Knee slightly swollen and not as bendy as one would hope, with shins that throb... I feel that today is a cross-training day! This day will include: crunches, sit-ups, push-ups, squats, lunges (slow and deliberate ones), and other leg stuff. If I had an elliptical machine I would have hopped on that for 20min or so, but without one I didn't want to aggravate my knee by jogging again. (a pool would have worked too, or a bike... I don't have those either)
My mom likes to do fun workout videos on her cross-training days to keep herself motivated and the workouts varied and fun.
The important thing is to realize that your body's pains are telling you something... and I don't want to have knee-replacement surgery when I'm 40.
So ice the pains, take ibuprofen, and take it easy for a day, and tomorrow I shall be back on the road.
I'd give you a knee if they did knee transplants! I'm lazy, I don't use them that much. lol
ReplyDeletei appreciate the thought behind that offer, even if it isn't feasible my love :)
