Yeah...Look at me....! I'm on the Board again...! I went to the gym this morning: First I ran the treadmill for 1 mile at a 12 min pace, then high rep bench, then hig rep leg raises, then high rep flys, then another set of high rep leg raises (different type). I was feeling pretty good at this time, the soreness in my knee was the same (only slightly uncomfortable at certain angles or doing certain things). Then I decided to try the bike so I rode for 1 mile then did high rep curls. Still nothing was hurting worse so I decided to try the Eliptical Machine. I have never used one and quickly found out that you can rotate your feet either forward or backwards. Going backwards put less pressure on the sore point on my knee so I did that for 1 mile trying to keep the stride pace above 160 but with low resistance. Even this did not seem to bother my knee any more than normal movement. I was able to get my heart rate to 140 for the end of the eliptical workout. Last I did did high rep calf raises. All in all I feel really good about the workout. I am at work and will put some ice on the knee...just as a precaution. If nothing changes I will continue this type workout for a few days...Keep your fingers crossed...!
I counted the treadmill run and the eliptical mile as two miles but didn't count the bike...Hope that's all fair... :-)
