Daily Exercise

[Diorling]

Ran 10 miles this morning, and I've got yoga after...

I do like an opening of 20 minutes as fast as I can on the treadmill, 20 minutes of weightlifting (low resistance because I want tone) then 20 more minutes on the treadmill to round it out...

Right now cause Im in a new agey mood I think Im gonna take a morning jog...I havent run in the streets since 2001...

Okay hear is my question, does any one know of any low impact leg exercices. I want to focus on getting nice muscular calfs and work on my quads. I was doing leg presses and calf raises for a few weeks now and I can already see results. My problem is I have bad knees and now it feels like my knees are grinding. My docter said their nothing I can do about it except ice them and try and not do anything high impact(it is kind of hard when you have gym).




Thanks

I know it's not really low impact, but what shapes my legs up best is running. Also, I was a swimmer for years and swimming is the greatest low impact sport/excercise.....ever

^ shoegal is right. and definately doesn't put weight on your knees (well except breaststroke.if the technique is wrong, your knees might suffer big time). swimming is the best workout for your body!

Others have already given advice about the kind of exercises you can do.
I just want to suggest that you get a note from your doctor to show your school about your knees. You shouldn't have to endure painful and possibly harmful activities at school. You don't have to sit out everything, but if you feel pain you should be allowed to take a break.

... last week I missed out on yoga and dance classes because of work and this week I have only been to two yoga classes and one Ballet class beside doing my daily routine, because I have been screaming lazy ......

but Today I did my daily routine...

... 60 push ups
... 3 times 50(each arm) weight lifts...+ 50(for each shoulder)...5kg weights(low weights and more repetition is prefered so your not bulging up..)
... 600 sit-ups(straight up, cross and on the side)...
... Pilates exercises for legs, back and derriere...
... stretching exercises for every muscle group involved to elongate, lengthening and make them flexible...
... ....
