I know this has probably been asked before but wanted some input. I have bad knees and have quit all standing leg work for the past few years, as well as lowering my step height and taking alot of high impact moves out. As a result, my pear-shaped body has gotten more fruity so to speak! My lower half is flabby and I've lost so much strength and endurance. I've been trying to lose the infamous last 10 lbs but seem to hit a road block b/c I'm not sure how to up the intensity of my workouts so they are still knee-friendly and I cant really go any lower calorie wise. I see my best results at about 1400 cals/day. (I'm 5'1").
The question finally.....would it be a waste of time to try Cathe's standing leg work with no weights or do you think that I'd just be putting my knee at risk again without really adding much to my strength since I'd be using no weights? I do mostly floor work but dont seem to be getting the results I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Stacy
