Cardio and My Knees
Something about stepping up the cardio the last two weeks has really taken a toll on my knees. I used to do 30 minutes each day on the elliptical walker but the additional 10 minutes of treadmill has me walking around gingerly.
As of yesterday I’ve cut back to only elliptical walker. They kick me off the machine after 30 minutes so I’ll do an extra 10 minutes on a cycle. No treadmill until my knees get better.
This is what I did tonight:
- Rewatched my Title Boxing Counterpunching video
- Watched half of the Barrera/Marquez fight. I love Barerra, he’s probably my favorite fighter now that Mayweather has retired. If you haven’t seen his fight with Prince Naseem (which effectively retired the Prince), you should watch it on YouTube. Tonight I was studying how he would counterpunch Marquez’s lead hooks with a left hook to the body, I’m going to try that out.
- I iced my knees
- Did my shoulder rehab
- Took a hot bath and am about to get into an ice bath before bed.
Hopefully my knees are better tomorrow, cause I’ll be up early and off to the gym.
