I try to run 3 miles at least 3 times a week, and I"m hoping that I can increase that to 5 times a week soon depending on how my knee feels. Half the reason why I am doing so well post-surgery is because of all the yoga and gym exercises that improved my stabilizer muscles.Katanahttp://www.toughgirl101.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-72015986437935243072009-08-11T17:28:23.574-04:002009-08-11T17:28:23.574-04:00Hey Hilary!

A dumbbell or two, an exercise ball, maybe some resistance bands and you'll be good to go. A lot of things can be done outside too. There's an outside "gym" along our greeway where you can do several good exercises and it's free!RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-80358507936723234332009-08-11T17:23:04.700-04:002009-08-11T17:23:04.700-04:00Hey Burt!
