When it comes to your training, you should always have a Plan B, Plan C

Left work late, late, late this evening, so I didn't get to the gym or run outside.  No problem - I have a myriad of exercise VCR tapes and DVDs at home.  So I had no excuse.  I popped in my Tony Horton Power 90 Fat Burning Express DVD and got to 'boogeying' away.  It's a simple, but apparently effective, workout 'cause I was dripping wet at the end of the 35:00 session!

Rehabbing

Saw my doc last week about my knee: diagnosis - arthritis; prognosis - good.  Will rehab for the next few weeks so no running for awhile.  In addition to outpatient therapy and home exercises, doc recommended pool walking and 'treading water' (running in the deep end).

I did that yesterday for about 30 minutes and knee felt great.

Today did elliptical + body strength straining and core exercises @ gym today ... knee felt really strong.

35:00 on elliptical (2.55 mi) - cross training routine (max resistance 8) - didn't hold on to handles; more effort to keep balance and moving - legs certainly got an extra workout!
