So I got my email & 'welcome' workout from Julia this morning. Since all I have are dumbbells and an exercise ball to work with at home for my resistance training, it took awhile to modify the workout 'assigned' to me with the alternates she had suggested. I really need to have that structure of knowing what I need to do ahead of time, so having the workout on paper was important to me to get started. I was kinda bummed that I had to go thru all that work to 're-create' my workout. I guess I thought GHF was going to do that for me? I'm going to have to do that now for each week of my weight training, so am not super happy about having to put the extra time into that when my time is already so tight :-( I'm sure it will get easier as I adapt and learn, but right now, for some reason, that piece of it is a little discouraging.

Finished my last night shift of my 2 week rotation, that's good. Felt some uncomfortable knee pain since my last lower body workout, that's bad. And the ugly I'll fix with a haircut this weekend. I'm rethinking my lower body workouts. I thought holding back on some cardio on those days would help out my beat up knees, but it's not working for me. I've been good with longer cardio's so I may need to keep that up and reduce the lower body strengthening. When I review my body and rate what parts I feel I need work, my legs are last on the list.
I had a good 30 minute cardio today focusing on intervals. I realized my knees were OK with this then later during the leg press and lunges that's when my knees, not my leg muscles were feeling the crunch. Regardless, the other weights worked out well. I'll eventually figure this out.
