TRX Day

[Catrin]

Well, I hope that riding starts to ease the pain and NOT the other way around. I wish that I were able to do the squats that you mentioned, but after being a catcher for many many years you can imagine that there truly isn't anything left. Your squats would absolutely destroy me to the point I would be at the orthopedics HA!

Have you ever tried riding very slowly after a gym workout? During the winter months, I try and hop on the trainer and simply pedal very slowly for a few minutes with very little effort. After a short time, I start to feel better although my legs always feel 'heavy' on the bike while I'm either lifting or working with suspension straps.

This is the first time that riding has troubled my knee when other things really doesn't seem to bother it. I will try your suggestion and hop on the spinning bike for a very slow spin after my group or individual training sessions. I need to do something different, that is for sure. My rides are getting shorter and shorter and I hate that Interestingly enough, the OTHER knee is the one that looks much worse but it never gives me any trouble at all.

My trainer, so far, has only had me do those squats in particular once and that was just last week. I think he was assessing my mobility/flexibility as we start my 10-session package. After working with me for 3 months in the group training, he has very specific ideas about what I need and thankfully our goals for me coincide.
