Workout Help
I decided to try the workout routine that Jody posted about but it didn't go so well. My accident knee has really been bothering me lately and when I got to the jogging part of the plan I almost fell down. I made it through two times jog/walk/jog/walk but I couldn't do the jog any more. It was just killing me I was grimacing and holding my breath (not good while jogging, I can hardly breathe as is!!) So I ended up just walking the rest of the 30 minutes (at a fairly decent rate I think, 3-4 mph I think that is a 15-20 minute mile). But how am I doing? I know that is better than doing nothing, but am I really doing anything? Any suggestions to help with my knee?? Do you need to break a sweat for it to be beneficial? ...Does breaking a sweat at Target count? (If so Joan and I are doing GREAT!!)

when i mentioned breaking a sweat I was thinking more along the lines of, is your heart rate up.
I totally hear you on the knee! I have a few knee supports at home if you ever want to try them out. Call me later and let me know how it feels. I can let you in on some exercises I did in physical therapy that will help strengthen your knees.
Don't kill yourself. And yes, you are still doing something! 30 minutes is really good. :O) Keep it up Jules - and call me re your knee.
Is it possible you started jogging too fast??
started too fast? any and all jogging is starting too fast~
30 minutes is great. and don't all the health professionals say if you walk 2 miles in 30 minutes you've done a lot to help your health? that's what the gal on my walking dvd says ... and she's a professional. so your 30 minutes of mostly walking is very good.
