Bad Knees Make Boot Camp too Hard

Here's the deal: because of my knee problems, I won't be doing the boot camp. I will, however, be going to the gym that's associated with the boot camp and building up the muscles in my hips, thighs, and legs so I can support my knees. My knees were in such bad shape over the weekend, I couldn't really walk around.

Let's face it: I'm not 20 years old. I'm 51. I just couldn't keep up. I'll start at the gym on Friday. My biggest words of wisdom are don't do something that's making you feel worse. That's not the point of exercise.

Made It through the Week

I'm tired and I'm sore. Yesterday, I could barely move. Boot camp is tough. I never knew I could exercise through wishing I could puke. My hamstrings are still tight. That's something I've really got to work on. My knees are killing me. No more running. I can't. I've been using the inversion table, and it helps. But it ain't making the knee pain go away completely.

I've been eating too much. Exercise makes me hungry.

I'm the oldest person in this boot camp. Did I tell you that already? I have 20 years on everyone else. However, I feel obligation to keep up with my younger boot campers. They can run, jump, or whatever they want. I will do what I can do.

Well, more later
