Morning Maniacs -
This morning I did 50" of Tracey Staehle's new Kickbox workout followed by a 20 minute Tamilee Webb stretch video. I burned 503 calories during the cardio and max HR was 162.
Not sure if anyone was around yesterday evening, but I posted this last night (if anyone is around again).
I've been miserable with my pain, thus the reason I haven't posted in a couple days. I'm beside myself and frustrated. I have been corresponding with Tracie Long-Matthews regarding my condition and believe it or not, she has been gracious enough to get an in depth history and she is going to talk to her personal trainer about me (plus she has somewhat of a history with rehab type workouts) and create a personalized rotation for me. She's a sweetheart.....especially being that she has a baby, husband, dog and a full-time job and health club to run. She has told me that I need to take more recovery time, increase my cardio and flexibility ....due to age, etc. (I know....I know....that's what you ladies always say).
Linda - Yes, definitely, a tight IT band can absolutely cause knee pain. Try rolling your IT bands out on a foam roller and see if it helps. I've actually had slight knee pain d/t tight IT bands and it helped me. Also, this is probably THE absolute tightest spot on your body when you foam roll. Ask Diane Sue, as I bet she'd say the same thing.
Re: New Workouts - I read about this system on videofitnes and it was created by a dude that had a low back problem and got himself better with this system, so the sucker that I am ....I ordered it last night. It's a fusion of martial arts, body strength, dynamic tension, yoga and pilates.....I shall keep everyone posted. I have to get my spine better and my side. (This will fit in perfectly to my New Year's resolution of adding more flexibility and pilates/yoga in my fitness regimen.
