Sue,

I sent you a friends Request in Cruise Critic. My Mother in law has a bum Left knee she been doing the Elliptial its been helping her alot she does it at her pace and she been adding some weights too her training to help strenghtin the knee she is trying this to see if she can avoid having the knee replace. She went to a trainer and her knee doctor first to see what they suggested so she doesn't her her self more but can help build more strenght in the knee it self. We been going to Planet Fitness they just built one in our area which is great it helps with the price too on the budget. I have a black card membership so I can bring my husband with me everyday and he wouldnt need a membership so we can keep the cost down. I dont have a WII thought about getting one but I really dont have a place to set it up.

Another thing you can do if you know how is swim its good for injury's its light impart but good for strengthening.

Hello Everyone :D

To day I felt alittle more tired but after I got going I got in a my work out. After some help from a friend and I do call her a friend she has helped me understand more about how to track my work out and my diet so I can lose weight and hold a healthly balance of both.

After yesterdays work out I have slept better then I have in months I worked harder then I normally do at my work out and I felt it I slept 10 hours that is very rare for me normally 5 hours but for once I feel so good with the extra sleep.

Sue when I started my journey I decided the only way for me to really do it is to take control not for anyone but for me to be able to feel good about my self and take my life back. Everyday I work at this some days I dread going cause I am feeling a little tried before I get on the bike but in a few minutes I feel like I just gained more energy I cant explain how feeling tried and then have a energy like that the next feels til you feel it its one of those things that hard to explain I think.

Yes I am working out daily but I change up my work out so I never get bored but my muscles have time to rest too. I ride the bike in front of the TV normally putting on a 30 minute show and then ride for that 30 minutes once the show over I move to my next thing I am trying to keep my heart rate up when I work with the weights so my muscles dont get tired or sore. Read some where that if your muscles are warm when you work out with weights it burns more fat not sure if that is true or now weigh in on Fridays for me so we will see how it pays off.
