burn it off and some insights on my knees!

[Guest guest]

Did Burn it off ..I like this workout as even with modifications I get my HR up!after walked dogs for about hour.Regarding my knees I think I have figured out a large part of my problem. At Eion's seminar we did a lot of reviews on spine and pelvis alignment and miss alignment. I have a large Q angle (see- http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/women/a/Q_angle.htm) Thus I have hard time with knee stability. In addition my inner thighs are tight while outer weak. So while I do stack knees above angles... my knee tends to rotate inwards so tracks over big toe not middle toe like it should.... This is why the hip openers are helping me to find more

flexibility in this area and thus lower knee pain. Also why Squats are not a problem but lunges (esp bowlers where this is move is over emphasized) are harder... SO knowing is half the battle. I am working on this and hoping to get this under control. I can't change my hips but I can strengthen outer thighs and quads and improve flexibility.. feeling better just knowing!!judy

That IS half the battle! This is really interesting, and it's great that you discovered it! You're probably going to see some great progress by incorporating the knowledge.
