Being a transfer student, I lost a few credits, and in order to graduate on time, I need to take 16 credits this semester. Obviously, none of these are government classes, due to the fact that I finished my government requirements last semester (yay!). This week, I went to ALL of my classes. That's right, ALL of them. And I have early classes. This may not be a big deal to some people, but I am not a go to class person or a get up early person.
While I usually work out on a regular basis (at least 4 times a week), I have been going to the gym in the morning and going everyday. I've already taken two Body Pump classes this week! I'm also going to start working with a person trainer to achieve my goals of strength building and also, try and build endurance to run the Monument Avenue 10k on April 2nd at a 10:30 min/mile pace or below. My right knee has been bothering me a bit, so I'm definitely trying to take it easy, and might even go to a sports medicine doctor to just make sure it's nothing big. It started bothering me last spring, but now it makes more of a clicking/popping noise when I bend it and isn't the same pain as before. Do any of you have knee problems? How do you work out, but prevent further injury?
Hey Paula! I just saw you had a blog from your facebook status. About your knee problems - I work at a local running shop in Charlottesville and a lot of people having knee problems are usually in the wrong shoes. Are you running as well as doing stationary machinery? Or only one or the other? Anyway - I would look at going to a running shop that does specialized gait analysis's. I've seen a lot of different injuries from different activities. Let me know if you are still having problems and have questions!
