There are a lot of you out there that wonder how you might exercise with knee injury. I have a lot of clients that come to me with knee problems and would like to use the excuse not to exercise because of a knee problem. People seem to forget that they have an upper body when it comes to knee injuries. While you are letting your knee recover, and it will take some time because of the vascular recovery time in the ligaments surrounding your knee, you can lift weights and do upper body exercises. If you keep the tempo up with only about 20 seconds rest in between sets, your heart rate will stay in the 80% target zone. This is high-intensity training and the result will increase your post-oxidation state, which will increase the amount of calories burned throughout the rest of your day. I believe that this is by far the best form of training for weight loss and overall conditioning. We have helped 100's of clients achieve their fitness goals through our Outdoor Fitness Camps using this style of training. Do this combined with proper nutrition and you will see results.
