How long after surgery did you start doing an abdominal workout?

@ Brenty. I have started taking glucosamine/chondroiton. I think it helps. For weeks before starting it, my knee kept popping/cracking (it wasn't painful during that)when bending walking up stairs or during squats and like a few hours after my first dose the popping stopped. Coincidence, maybe but I'm still taking it.

As for finding my groove, yeah, I do give a little credit to the band, so that's why I'm not 100% against it, but I still would remove it in a heartbeat. As for pushing myself I LOVE feeling sore the next day. Yes, I may say, OMG I'm so sore, but in reality I love it. It means I've had an excellent workout and my muscles are working to rebuild themselves. I do a bootcamp class on Sundays and that usually makes me really sore, so I usually use Monday as my off day. Thoguh this week, I am not taking a day off. Because I can't kick box on Saturday because I'm going to do the Warrior Dash in Jersey, so I didn't want to lose a class. Yeah I may be certifiably insane. LOL
