Off Topic / Re: My running days are over
« Last post by CrossfirePilot on Today at 20:13:19 »I feel for you. I used to love to run the distance. But I am now 50 and my knees really started going bad about 15 years ago. I still play around with the boys but I move like an old man. When on a treadmill I usually just set to the steepest grade and do it as a brisk walk. Also the stair mills that are at some gyms work great for a good workout. Finally I started lifting weights almost daily in order to keep from getting flabby. I went from 140 to 160 and feel great. There are lots of other options to help keep you looking like a "10"
Another thing that I have gotten for leg workouts is a balance board and one of those 1/2 balance ball or burpee balls. Just standing on one of those and doing some body weight squats can give a good workout for legs and core and not hammer your knees like running does.
Hope this helps.
