No more doctors!

Every time I see a Doctor they want to prescribe something or perform surgery on something. I suppose it's what they do.

I shouldn't have been surprised with my latest knee surgery then. The Doctor said he can take the burrs off the inside of my knee cap and this will make it track better. Once he looked inside my knee he realized there isn't much he could do...short of knee replacement.

I'm too young and too active for knee replacement!

The next few weeks - no kettlebells and a lot of knee PT. The plan is too strengthen the surrounding muscles of the knee and stabilize the joint itself. Lots of straight leg raises and stablility drills. I've got a good program planned out and slowly will add in my regular routines.

Here is todays effort -

100 Push Ups
Stationary Bike

When you pause or your form fails you quit and ride the stationary bike for 1 mile.

I rode the bike way too many times, but if I concentrate on just my knee stuff I fear everything else will go south. This is the challenge - how to maintain overall body strength while focusing on my weak link.

I think this workout is a step in the right direction...
