I'm finally learning to listen to my body. I'd rather be out just a few days then sidelined for longer. Get well soon:)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402096620723172678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815405846933734621.post-50289647475435159432013-06-23T18:17:44.250-07:002013-06-23T18:17:44.250-07:00Hi Lynn!

Then I did it the next day. Then, the 3rd day, my knee felt like a screw was loose in it. Then I had to skip cardio days for a few months. Then I had to start gently to rehab the knee. Then I rehabbed the knee for months, which was when I started yoga.<br /><br />Now that I'm older and wiser from the ordeal, I do MUCH less cardio and diversify my exercise a LOT. I take more breaks. I don't do anything for too long. I don't compete with anyone because they don't know or care how my joints react. Only I leave the gym with the consequences to my joints. I have MANY self-imposed gym safety rules to curtail my fitness freak crazy feelings of one-upping others. I strictly follow the safety rules so I don't end up being injured from over-training. It sounds like you have learned most of these points this week. <br /><br />On the bright side, you're smarter about this for the rest of your life. If you learn well from this ordeal, you're going to be smarter than most people in your gym. :D<br /><br />:-) Marion Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-815405846933734621.post-84133701175048712732013-06-23T17:52:35.867-07:002013-06-23T17:52:35.867-07:00Hi Lynn - The fitness center I recently joined (a ...Hi Lynn - The fitness center I recently joined (a couple months back) has a cross fit class, along with several other options. Some of the ladies in that gym have arms and shoulders that are lean, muscular and very shredded. When I reach goal and build muscle I think I'd be very happy to have arms like those as opposed to the guys that have HUGE arms but very little definition. Their arms are kind of like big puffy pillows. <br /><br />I'll tell my wife about your foot injury. I talked her into staying home today and resting her knee. She gets going on the treadmill at a pace that has been giving her knee pain. She has callouses on the bottoms of her feet from all the walking the past couple months and knee pain. Now I can use your post as an example for her to learn from - thank you:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690442668699466427noreply@blogger.com
