Terri - I love Zumba. A good instructor can really lead you through a great workout. The instructor on Sunday was horrible, I don't know WHAT music she was listening to. It was like she was making up steps as she went along...LOL... I got sick Sunday night after getting home so I was unable to go to my favorite Monday night class.
You got a lot done yesterday! Very impressive. I'm hoping to get back in the game tomorrow.

Hope you're feeling better. Today I went to yoga class. The woman nearly killed me. She did a class for knees. What a coincidence that is what my article tomorrow is about. My knees were popping and cracking so loud I could hardly hear her.
Later this afternoon I rode my recumbent for 20 minutes. I use the recumbent as my foundation exercise and then I build what else I'm going to do around it. I try to do something for my knees and shoulders on most days. TJ
Who else likes Zumba?

Dear Coach,
I remember when we started exchanging ,you told me that there was a place where all the moves for the knees were in diagram. Did I read wrong? Sure would like to have these pictures or diagrams.
Truly yours.

Hi Loong. How are the knees? Did the swelling go down? As far as the pictures, I don't remember mentioning this but I will go back through the posts and see if I can find it and what I may have been making reference to.
Regretfully I do not have pictures to include with the exercises. I am in the process of making a listing of knee exercises and I will post it on my main page under Fitness Charts but it will not have pictures. I will make a post when that is finished.

He everyone. Well I came really close to pulling the "I'm too tired card" tonight. But my husband said, have you posted your workout yet? Guilty, guilty, guilty.
So I have been reading a lot lately about short intense strength training workouts. So I decided that since I wasn't in the mood anyway that I should do one of these short workouts.
This was supposed to be a short intense 10 minute workout: 5 Sun Salutation A, and 5 Sun Salutation B. But it didn't seem like enough so I added a short intense 15 minute workout with it. Total workout was about 25 minutes.
I've been experimenting with this short intense workout theory and when I get some more research to back it up I will write an article about it. Hopefully soon. TJ

Dear coach, I have problems with my pc just lost a post again. Bought a bike,1/2 price ,1 in stock sale ending at 9 tonite. It is a sitting down bike with a high back ,padded seatwith all the electronic gysmoes 300$ for 150$ very sturdy.Handles are on the sides of the seat.How much time and at what level of effort should I start.My first post was much nicer anyway.
Second is regarding what I had understood in your 803425 post that read:Loong, why don't you go to the main exercise site: www.bellaonline.com/site/exercise; on the right side of the page is a picture with an envelope and it says contact. Click on it and it will give you a place to write to me directly without using the forum. I have a couple more exercises you could do in bed that you may like. So contact me.So please if you have other exercises ,I would be glad to have them

Loong, Wow, what a great deal on the bike. You're going to love it. I suggest you experiment with how long to ride. Start with about 15 min at a low resistance. See how your knees feel the next day and that will be your guide if you can go more or less. Of course they might be a little sore the first few times. But consistent riding will help them. Right now on most days I ride my bike 20min and then I do some strength work. I have reached a steady mph so I am changing it up a little. I increased my resistance to the next level. Only go one level at a time. Did you read the article I posted yesterday? It is about knees. I'm not sure if you have these exercises or not but some of them may be new. Go to: Easy Exercise to Relieve Knee Pain Let me know how long you are able to ride the bike and how you like it.
