RE: You Don't Need a Gym to Fulfill Your New-Years Resolutions
I'm sorry to hear about your knee. Are you working with any physical therapists to help stabilize the knee?
Yes, I agree with you. Small changes, like, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking your car 500m from your destination and walking the rest of the way are a few of the many ways we can become more active. My yia-yia tells stories of how she would need to walk half a kilometer, each way, to fetch water from the well. Village life was way more active, by default, than we need to be nowadays. This is part of our problem. Everything has become to easy for us, physically.
Rubber bands are definitely awesome tools to add resistance exercises to your training regime. They are also ultra light and portable for traveling. I may include such exercises in future posts. Thanks for your recommendations.
I wish you many happy and injury free workouts in 2018. :)
The doctor said I just need to go with isometric exercises with rubber bands, all we can do is just strengthen the supporting muscles. There must have been a tiny cyst behind the knee that is causing all the fuss, but nothing more serious to demand an MRI and drugs. It is getting better, but it's taking too long and I wish I could speed things up a bit, but hey... I should just be patient.
And besides rubber bands, why not bring a friend and do some couple training in a future video? Or improvisations with a football? I love such exercises too!
Thank you so much!! :D
The body works at its own pace unfortunately. I really hope you get back to full fitness as quickly as possible!
That is an excellent idea. Please keep the ideas coming. :)
Have an awesome week!
