After 2 August '04 rotations, I think my knee is crying for some recovery time. And it's frustrating!!! x(
It's been a little sore off and on for about a week, but I made it worse on Saturday during L&G. I've been doing leg presses on my 8" fannylifter to help me perfect my form and be cautious of my knee, and it's been working great. Since it had been working so great, I thought I would test for new strength and use the 14" step for 1 set of leg presses. Big mistake! I've been paying for it ever since. ;( x( Why oh why did I do this to myself?? I knew better than to try, but my pride got a bit too big that day. Sigh.... THIS is the reason I quit The Firm. Arg!! I will NOT quit Cathe, though. I'm going to get a High Step very soon, and will use 8 or 10 inches for leg presses.
Besides the usual treatments of ice and heat, what else can I do to aid in my recovery? I'm taking glucosamine and fish oil- and doubling up for a few days- and that should help this process along a bit. I'm interested in what your favorite way to give your knees some TLC.
I've got 1 more workout left to finish the rotation- L&G + PLB floorwork. I was planning on doing it tomorrow...but I don't think that's a very wise idea. I think I'll just go into Recovery mode for a week or so. Do you agree? I could use some encouragment....
