That's three days off for my poor legs. They don't ache now so I'm going to get back on the dreadmill today. I probably didn't burn a whole lot the last few days but I didn't give up and just lay on the couch. Switch it up and make sure your legs get some real time off. I hope your knees stop aching Barb My knees were aching too so I switched to upper body stuff for two days and then took a whole day off. That’s three days off for my poor legs.

My legs were sore as hell after I ran in a 5k last Sunday, so what I tried to do was do some more walking instead of running (which is boring as all hell) and some lower impact cardio, like the eliptical or ARC Trainer.

We are sooooooooooo much alike when it comes to exercising. I really don't ever take a complete rest day off. However, I do take at least one day a week where I tone done my exercise. This is either by taking it easy (lower level on elliptical, run/walk at slower pace, not exercise for long, etc). You could even take a walk one day with some weight lifting. You have to be careful with your knee injury because you don't want to set you back any farther that what it has. After you exercise you may want to consider iceing down your knee and also taking an antiinflammatory. I am not a doctor or a nurse but I am in the medical field however take my advice if you want too or not (an x-ray tech working towards a career in healthcare management). I have dealt with minimal sport injuries on myself but I have seen numerous on others before. Just be careful and good luck to you!!! Besides that, you have done an amazing job!! If you do take a few days of rest off just be careful of your calorie intact. I know when I get bored I eat more. :) Wow! We are sooooooooooo much alike when it comes to exercising.

Can you find a non-weight bearing activity to do in the meantime? Swimming or bike, maybe? It's important that you take care of your pains - you don't want it to become so serious that you're totally out of commission for a long period of time, you know?

Its going to take a moment for your body to get back on track, but once it does you will come back pain free. I actually had a similar situation to start the year.... my asthma was acting up in the freezing 40 degree weather.... I am in Miami, that counts as freezing. I actually had to take a week off. My first day back was a pain, but I have been hitting personal bests every day since. Give your body the rest its asking for. You might have a 0 loss week but in the long run you will be better for it. I personally think you should take the today and the weekend off and start back up on Monday.

You remind me like you should be writing self help books or being on commercials or informercials. The stuff you say is always so positive and yet real, too! Im glad you love exercise so much. As per the knees, on the Shred, they have this exercise where you kind of move your knees in a circular motion. Make sense? LMAO Im horrible at descriptions, but it feels so good! Hi!!
