For those who have knee or back issues, in addition to strength training, adding cardio that is easier on your joints but will still get your heart rate up will help you burn calories as well. Low impact forms of cardio include swimming, recumbent bike, rowing walking, and cross country skiing. The elliptical machine may also be a machine that you can use. I've had two knee surgeries and used the elliptical during therapy. If you aren't sure what to do for your specific situation contact me and we'll work up a plan for you! :)
Have a Fit Friday!
About Me
- Stacey Clifton Glenn
- I’m just a small town girl w/ BIG dreams! I love my family, friends, and my job as an online fitness consultant. Fitness has been a part of my life since I started playing volleyball, basketball and running track. As athletes we train/condition to get faster, and stronger and I fell in love with strength training and exercise. “Go Heavy or Go Home” I went on to play collegiate volleyball at The University of Texas-Austin and then to California State University at Chico and then became an assistant volleyball coach. I also had the chance to work w/ the volleyball players and the strength and conditioning program, which was a great experience and I loved it! I earned a Bachelors in Physical Education at Chico State and I am now a P.E. teacher & coach at a middle school here in Texas. I am also currently working on my Personal Training certificate and looking forward to establishing my own traveling personal training business in the near future. I CAN do anything I put my mind too! I know I have the power to make things happen in my life and helping others realize the same thing in themselves is so rewarding.
