Hi Cathe, I'll make this short and sweet (kinda like you, no offense on the "short" comment, I'm 5'2 as well!). I'm sure your answer will help many others, not just me, so your professional expertise, please!
I'm short, medium-framed and have the unlucky "bulky thigh" syndrome. The one catch, I have a chronic knee issue, have an ortho doc etc. I'm okay to workout as long as I wear my knee strap, but he does say that squats, lunges can exacerbate my problem, which I've noticed! I also cant lift heavy to my dismay. I used to do S&H Legs with about 25lbs, but yesterday used only 15lb and even though I didnt feel it much in my legs, my knee twinged slightly. I also can't run I have all of your tapes plus a recumbent bike. My schedule is nuts so finding time to walk outside isnt reliable. I've tried Pilates, but doesnt seem to do much for me. I also currently do yoga once a week to help stretch the hamstrings in particular. I've tried many things but cant find the "magic", maybe you can offer a new rotation perspective?? Pretty please??? (P.S. I do practic clean eating, well most times!)
Thank you, thank you!
