W3 on hold for a while, knee problems!

[Blondefox]

I've got to take it easy for a while (unspecified time by my gym trainer and physio friend) as I have tendinitis in my left knee caused by tight quads apparently. All that working from home in lock down has tightened up quads and hip flexors.

I was really enjoying the programme as well, so gutted to have to stop. I have a couple of stretches to work on and knee exercises with ankle weights to practice.

I'm a teacher at a FE college so my usual day was spent standing most of the time, and sitting on my butt did more than add a few pounds to my waistline! Yet I speed walked most days and kept active but I guess that wasn't enough😞😞

I'll keep cheering you all on though, and I love hearing how you are all doing,

Loads of people get knee problems in week 2 and 3. Totally normal. Ibuprofen and it should go in a week or so.

Yep ... got knee issues in week 2. As Tasha99 says .. drugs and rest and you’ll be back at it in no time!

I’m sorry to hear you’re not joining us in our journey for a while. Keep me updated on your healing progress and when you’re able I carry on I’ll be here with encouragement. Good Luck!

Ps. I didn’t really understand what you said was wrong but it sounds painful, a bit like shin splints people on here talk about, no idea what they are either.
