Low-impact cardio is a great way to maintain your fitness while recovering from an injury. I spend a lot of time on the elliptical and in the pool. I use my tracker to monitor my heart rate and my effort level. I've found that I can still get a very effective workout without the jarring impact of running.
I've also started tracking my recovery and my sleep quality to ensure I'm not overdoing it. If my knee is feeling a bit sore, I'll take a rest day or do a very light session. This helps me avo

As an avid runner, dealing with knee pain was a major setback. I've had to learn how to modify my workouts to stay active without making things worse. I've started incorporating low-impact activities like swimming and using the elliptical. I use an app to track my sessions and my pain levels.
In the beginning, it was frustrating to not be able to run. But I've found that swimming is an incredible full-body workout that is much easier on my joints. I've also started a targeted strength training
Knee is feeling much better today. Taking it slow and steady.
It's hard to slow down as a runner, but listening to my body is the most important thing.
Focusing on strength training to support my joints. Squats and lunges are back on the list.

Logged a 30-minute swim today. Zero impact on my knees and I still got a great workout.
