- Type: Strength Training

- Total Time: 00:20:00.00
Focus on strengthening muscles that support the knees, and some ab work.
Single leg squats:
12 with resting leg in front, 8 with resting leg to the side, 6 with resting leg in the back (these were difficult; my calves felt tight by the time I got to the 8 with leg to the side. Will they ever get easier!?!)
10 knee squeezes (with sweatshirt between knees)
12 leg extensions with feet pointed out
6 quad sets
12 clam-shells
12 inner leg lifts
12 lying straight leg lifts
12 lying hip lifts
70 bicycles
15 kneeling rear kicks
8 sissy squats
All followed by more stretching and icing. I only feel minimal soreness in the knees when I am in a mid-squat position. My fingers are crossed that I am doing the right things and will be able to resume my training soon!
