Travel Doesn't Have to Hurt Your Wellness Regimen!

By Tom Conner

Time for my monthly blog. Oh yea!! So what have I done since I last left off? Well 2 weeks ago I was in Sarasota where the weather was perfect for running. So I ran 4 out of the 7 days I was there. Each time I ran 4 miles. The problem I noticed is that I started to feel something wrong on the front of my left knee.
While in Florida, I ate a lot of fish, which is lean protein, so I maintained my weight. Yea! So I come home and because of the small discomfort in my knee I don’t run all week. Plus the weather is lousy and I usually prefer to run outside. The only exercise I get is on the elliptical and some weight lifting, which I only do on 2 days.
So my goal for the upcoming week now that I feel rested is to at least lift weights and either do the elliptical or some running (4 miles) 4 times. By the way, my weight training consists of doing 3 sets of lifting 50lbs on my universal gym. I have 4 stations I use that work my shoulders, arms, chest and back. I also do 50 crunches sitting on a big ball. So there you go.
Let’s stay fit Indiana!
