I tried a new piece of equipment today, an Arc trainer. It's kind of like that machine that that guy with the long hair sold/sells on TV. I think it was more difficult than the elliptical, and it didn't make my knee feel all that great. I might not do that one again. But, it was a good cardio workout.

I went to a new doctor today since I wasn't too happy with the first one I saw here in Morristown. This new doctor was much better. I've been worried for awhile about my lack of ability to really bend my knee, and this doctor heard my concerns. He's going to get me fitted for a Dynasplint, a dynamic way of slowly bending my knee throughout the day and night. At the same time, I'll start on a steroid pack to loosen my ligaments to help them stretch. Hopefully, this will loosen my knee up enough so I can start running again.

This is the longest cardio workout I've done since April. Phew!

I had the grand tour of all of the equipment at the gym the other day, so I decided to try the elliptical instead of the treadmill and really liked it. It doesn't bend my knee too much to hurt, and it's a better work out than the treadmill, both for my knee and for cardio benefits.

I've added leg curls and calf raises to my repertoire, along with some machines for back, shoulders, arms and abs. Maybe I'll get super buff during this recovery period. Probably not.
