I have a question though - I used to be an avid running and went out at least 3 times a week. I've screwed up my hip over the last year, and running has just become too painful. I was wondering if you feel there is enough cardio incorporated with your workouts that I can get away with not running or having specific cardio days? I'm feeling great, but I don't want to be missing out on an important aspect. I live across the street from a rec center, so I could do cardio days there on a bike or stair stepper. Thanks for all your posts! I love them!Haley Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023541204053208333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939778559757265648.post-83142927129002800192013-09-16T01:25:46.151-07:002013-09-16T01:25:46.151-07:00Hi Melissa.

I have a question though. I noticed that on one of your workout days you ran as well. Would you recommend running on more than just this day in addition to your workout if you can tolerate it? Love love love all of your workouts and so glad to see that you are still putting out new ones!

I can do knee push-ups fine but can only do 5 (maybe) regular ones. 2. My lower back is usually sore after a work out. Why is that and what can I do to help? (And if it matters, I have a normal BMI). <br /><br />BessBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10738550712434936127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939778559757265648.post-77335987680695035432013-03-26T10:32:05.300-07:002013-03-26T10:32:05.300-07:00WOW!! this is awesome!

However, if you are doing a more restorative yoga flow focused on stretching that can be very beneficial as well. <br /><br />Listen to your body, and if you notice that you feel weaker, or very sore take a step back and rest. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04573973336157025058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939778559757265648.post-37028373037047047902013-01-28T17:35:38.613-08:002013-01-28T17:35:38.613-08:00Great job Ivonne!
