Should I or Shouldn’t I?
Exercise tonight? My knees have been hurting me. I am not a person who has chronic knee pain, but the other day my knee cried out in pain as I was getting into my car. It’s been hurting ever since, especially when I get up after sitting or walk up the stairs. I used my gazelle Sunday and Monday nights and walked on y treadmill for 30 minutes last night, at what is a pretty good pace for me. Now I’m wondering if I should give my knee a rest or if I am just using this as an excuse not to exercise. I suppose I could do crunches and some other floor exercises. I guess it’s just an excuse. And, today I was stressed at work, so I ate a Milky Way bar!

I believe that if you are in pain you should give your body a rest. Pain is your bodies way of signaling to you that something is wrong. As a massage therapist I have worked on many people who “overdid” it by not listening to their bodies. If you really feel like you are making excuses try doing something light like a ten minute walk or some type of upper body strength training. Take it slow and listen to your body.
