In message , Nicky
writes Many thanks Nicky. That's a keeper for sure. Well, waaaay before I started weight training, the quack had me flexing the muscle at the front top of the knee several times a day. Ok, just to check - I believe I can do this easily enough as long as I am standing. If I am sitting, I don't seem to be able to isolate the muscle. Sound believable? In the same way you're supposed to do 50 pelvic squeezes, he wanted me to do 50 quad flexes every time I thought about it! After a couple of months of doing this (no weight loss or other increase in exercise), the feeling I had that my knee was going to bend backwards and break, or dislocate, or other extremely unwanted thing - just went away. I suspect persuading a quack to refer you to a physio for a more targetted routine might do the same job a lot quicker. Well, my knees aren't in that bad shape; not as bad as you describe yours, anyway. But they are suffering & creaking & uncomfortable from having to bear too much weight - not just mine; add a 30 lb toddler to the mix - and I don't feel able to do squats any more :-((( Then I discovered diabetes, and learned that weight training was a Damn Good Idea, and started reading sites like sumptous.com, or Kathy Smith's books, as something other than fiction; and learnt that, from being someone who couldn't drive more than half an hour because of knee pain, I can now do several kinds of squats without a twinge. I found towel squats the easiest - wrap a towel around the bannisters, hold on to the ends like mad, and pretend you're sitting down. Get your thighs horizontal, stand up, repeat until you're feeling tired; try again in a couple of days. Dead good for bg levels, plus ongoing weight loss and your leg muscles! Fab. I'll get on it! -- Mogget, the Churl in the Puce Greatcoat |

I've just been practicing thinking about it whilst typing, and I'm bouncing the laptop nicely - maybe you could use your daughter, see if you can bounce her without raising your legs at all : ) But I'm sure it wouldn't matter whether you were standing or not.

Rosie, the world is a better place right now LOL!!!!!! Im so GALD I did
this. And I have made it 44 days and die like Cubit thought I would !!!!!!! My knee pain hasnt stopped me form exercising either. I dope up before I do it. I was able to get the first of three Synvisc injections into my knee on Monday. It angered my knee and it actually has been worse as far as pain but I am hoping in the long run, I will soon see some pain relief! Thanks for your never ending support {{{HUGS}}} Laureen 410/353 rosie read n' post wrote: i can just see you SMILING! -- read and post, rosie "Laureen" wrote in message oups.com... : Update: I'm 353 as of this am for a total of 57 pounds KISSED GOODBYE : FOREVER!!!!! : : Laureen 410/353 : : : : : : Laureen wrote: : Thank you everybody.
