Knee Pain Workout and Healthy eating cheat day

Hello dolls.

How are you lot doing today??? I'm still recovering from the cold. This post is a combined post.
Three weeks ago I started feeling a pain in my knees and need to slow down on doing things like Step, lunges and running. When you have a pain it can easily affect your motivation, but you need to stay focus. So what I do is a lot of walking either in the gym or outside (regardless of the weather). In the gym I do power walk on elevated treadmills and I burn 200cal more than when I'm running. Amazing isn't it? I do this at 7.5km/hr and elevated to the max and for an hour. Then I do the bike for 15 mins before doing the weights. For the weight I do the usual. I will do another post with more details of my weight workout.
Whenever you have an injury it's important not to let it slow down your motivation. Believe me it did slow me down, but I always managed to workout at least 3 times a weeks. So it's fine.
My last post was about bodyrock.tv website, they have some alternatives for workout when you have knees pain.

Cheat day...when living and healthy diet, well we all do that at some point but you just have to control it. So last week end I had a big cheat day. I will not advice it to anyone who is just starting. But if you exercise regularly then you metabolism is high enough to handle this. Below is what I took (in my defence it was that time of the month when I crave for sweet food and get angry...lol)


I also went to Nandos and had chips and chicken :-). But I'm back on track now.
Hope you enjoy this post and please leave your comments.

xoxo

PS: What is up with this rain??? :-(
