I have good news and bad news. Good news first? Ok. I've come back to the 30 Day Shred after a two day Mardi Gras break and it was actually easier for me than it has been in the past!!! I really like this exercise program, so I'm hoping I get the results from it that I'm working so hard for.
Now for the bad news, its sooooo hard on my knees! With all of the jumping, squatting, and lunges that are required to successfully participate I've been having some major knee issues. Especially today. As I've mentioned before, I have bursitis in my knees. That's not what this knee pain is though. This new pain is located in a totally different part of my knees. While the bursitis pain is located in the back bend of my knee, this new pain is behind my knee caps. It's a dull aching feeling when I do any low squats or just bend my knee period. It's accompanied by a grating feeling when I extend my knee. It's bearable and I've read online that the best way to treat it is with rest but rest isn't something I can afford! I want to exercise and lose weight NOW!!! I'm thinking I'm going to lay off of running for a while so my knees can be under a little less stress. I'm still going at the 30 Day Shred with full force, though!
I didn't wake up to run this morning because my sleep schedule was all out of wack from Mardi Gras festivities. I did, however do Zumba this evening so I did get some cardio in. That was especially hard on my knees, though. :( This knee thing is really starting to be a bummer!!!!
