I need some exercise advice?

[Amelia17]

So I had knee surgery a while ago and I have just started being able to work out again, I can walk on the tredmill, and I can use the eliptical for a little while. Im looking for maybe some fun work out videos or things I can look up online! I also needs some good ab workouts and light weight lifiting exercizes. Thanks a bunch!

This is when I suggest pulling together some money for a personal trainer and calling local gyms to see who specializes in people with sports injuries. You don't need a trainer you see every day or even once a week - What you need is someone who can explain how to adjust common workouts as you advance and which ones are a big 'not ever' so you never aggravate your injury.

how did you hurt your knee?
i had minor tears to my meniscus and ACL on my right knee, not super bad, i didn't need surgery
but i needed a lot of therapy and i couldnt play basket ball for months!

I had a lot of knee dislocations (like 8 on one side) So I had a tibial osteotomy, basically I got a new ligament, I had a ligament moved over ( it was off 20 degrees) and I got my tibia shaved down and I got some screws put in. I have had problems since I was in middle school, and some people grow out of it, but I never did. So now that I fixed it there is much less of a chance it will dislocate again. PT is the worst! lol I was in it for 8 months

Oh geez that sounds really intense!
dont run on the tread mill and stuff like that! it kills knees
listen to your therapist, and try not to do movements where you will put too much pressure on your knees!
hope that you tube channel helps you
good luck!

You should checkout Bedrock. TV

They have a lot of home workout varieties, from rookie to extreme. The only downfall they have or maybe it won't be so much for you is that most of their workouts require fancy equipment

"fun work out videos"

- No fun.. its hard and gruelling. Will make you cry.

" light weight lifiting exercizes. "

- why would you want that?

What are your goals?

[Amelia17]

well I haven't been able to work out for 8 months, and even before I just did some cardio and light weight lifting. I'm not looking to lose a ton of weight or get big, I just want to be healthy.

[Tokana]

" or get big,"

Its next to impossible for you to get big, you don't have enough testosterone in your body. Working out like men won't make you look manly.

[Amelia17]

that's my point, I don't want that, just looking for some tips and advice

Try yoga, it conforms to where your body is and builds strength, flexibility and stamina. Lot's of great tutorials out there, just hit YouTube

[Amelia17]
