After several false starts, I've finally started being able to get some regular exercise in post-baby, who was born 8 months ago. I'm 34, still breastfeeding and had an EMCS if any of those thing are relevant.
I'm basically cross-training and circuit/interval training using DVDs and doing a lot of walking with the pram. I was careful and did a gradual build up back to the high-impact stuff, and I'm still using very light weights (2kg) but my knees just ache! I was a pretty hard-core exerciser pre-baby, including all through pregnancy, and I've not had this before. It's a dull ache around my patellae - my knees feel like they're going to buckle when I'm going up and down stairs. I'm religious about warm-ups, cool-downs and stretching. Because of DS, I don't have other exercise options apart from DVDs and walking, if I want to maintain it once I go back to work in two weeks (e.g. can't swap to a no-impact alternative like swimming).
What's going on with me?!
