Body Rider BRD2000 Elliptical Trainer with Seat Off Coupon

I have develeoped an annoying problem with my right knee. It feels like it’s right at the kneecap, and here’s the best way to describe how it affects me: If I’m at the gym and I try to use the machine where I have to sit with my legs bent at the knee and raise my lower legs up, the knee protests. If it’s the exact opposite situation where I start with the legs fully straight (parallel to the floor) and push downward, I have no discomfort whatsoever. I cannot do walking lunges, those are out of the question; that kind of “sudden-shock-loading” is the worst.

Obviously I have to see a doctor if it gets bad, but I can walk on an inclined treadmill fine, use a stationary recumbent bike like crazy and use an elliptical trainer (just a slight bit of discomfort on the elliptical for about 5-7 minutes)

Anyone have any informal advice/ideas on what’s going on in my knee and what I can do to rehab it?

I was a Varsity level runner for my school back in October and ran about 35 MPW. I also danced a half an hour daily during this time, but expirienced medical complications that prevented me from running and dancing for a month. After a month, I still wasn’t able to run, but was permitted to exercise. So I simply started dancing again (I was a competitve Irish Dancer, and was dancing 30 minutes daily). The type of dance I did was pretty intense, and I’d also strength train for an hour a day (simple stuff like pushups, crunches, wall-sits, and pushups).

I did this for roughly two months, and then added on 30 minutes of step aerobics to my routine. Except what I’d do is take the aerobic step (which is 6″ high) and run up and down on it for a half an hour. I stuck with this routine (in addition to the dance and strength training) from February to June.

Recently, I retired from dance, and switched up my routine a bit. I still do the same amount of strength training, but have altered my cardio. I’d do the step aerobics for 20 minutes, jump rope for 40 minutes, and then use a recumbent bike for 10 minutes.

Last Saturday, I went for my first run with a friend. We did four miles, and it felt really easy. I also joined a gym, and have access to a treadmill, elliptical, arc trainer, and more bikes (I HATE the treadmill though… so boring…)

I really want to get back into running again though. I’d say that I’m in excellent physical condition, with a resting pulse of 58 and visible abs/muscle stritations. I’m going to be running for college in August, but my coach hasn’t really given me any type of plan.

How many miles should I start back up with? How many days a week should I run? I don’t want to burn out, but at the same time, I’m in really good shape from all the Cross training I’ve done. It’s really hard to find out how to “restart” running, seeing as I’m not a beginner and have been working out.

If anyone could tell me how many miles I should run this week to start back up, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you for listening!

I’m almost 6 months pregnant right now, and wanting to get some kind of exercise machine. I need something that I can use now, and also use afterward to help lose some of the baby weight. I’m definitely wanting to keep the price under $ 200. Walking outside wouldn’t be very reliable right now, due to the changing weather. Plus it is super windy here, and I have a 2 year old that would have to be with me. I’ve read reviews on these products, but they don’t really tell which one would work best. Dieting aside, which one would I get the best workout on?

I’m new to exercising (I used to have a great metabolism before having kids lol) and I have no idea what to look for. There were also a few treadmills at this price, if that would even be better. Thanks!!
Oh and yes, I do know I need to talk to my Doctor before starting any workout. But I would want the machine regardless, so that I would have it for post-baby.

im 15. and im going to try to eat healthy, and me and my mom go to a gym 3-5 times a week for about 2 hours(sometimes more)
I plan on going to the tredmill(fast walking) for 30 minutes, the recumbent bike for 30 minutes and the Elliptical Trainer for also 30 minutes.
i’m 160 pounds and 5’6. I want to get toner and tighter before summer, do you think this will work?

ALSO: this semester(starting tommorow) i have gym 4th period. And i’m going to try stop using my school bus and walk home (35 minute walk) going up a big hill too.

what will change?

thanks a million!
