fun/challenging whole-body moves that won't kill knees?
Hi everyone. Like calligrafiti, I'm having trouble with owie knees, so I'm trying to be creative with my exercise. And I'm bored - my favorite gym buddy moved out of town and lately I can't get motivated by my normal routine. I decided to try doing some Turkish get-ups this afternoon and OW OW OW MY KNEES. One was more than enough. I substituted one-handed side presses since I can do them with my legs straight.
Anyone have creative, preferably full-body weighted moves that aren't going to kill my knees? I feel like I need a break of a week or two doing totally different stuff from my standard rows, presses, push-ups and RDLs.
