chickadee32: I have IT band syndrome. I was hoping it would go away when I lost the weight, but no such luck. I haven't tried PT so I'll be curious how this works for you.
Goal: 1200 min including 8 strength-training sessions
11/3: 30 min cardio on Arc trainer, 30/500
11/6: 15 min stationary bike + 23 min upper and lower body weights = 38 min, 68/500
11/8: 30 min cardio on Arc trainer, 98/500
11/12: 15 min stationary bike + 25 min upper and lower body weights = 40 min, 138/500 min
Ugh, gardenerjoy, I'm sorry you're been battling ITB syndrome as well. It's been since July for me, and it's been so frustrating. I only started the PT about 5-6 weeks ago, and am hopeful this will be the fix. If not, my next stop is going to be dry needling, which sounds scary to me but which I've heard can really help. Do you have it in just one leg, or both? Let me know if you want any specific info on what the PT has been doing and has had me doing, if you think it might help you at all.
11/11 - 1 of 8 run/walk (6 x 3 min run, 1 min walk)
11/12 - 1 of 14 stretch/strength

Thanks, chickadee32! I have the IT Band problem on both legs. The only thing it keeps me from doing is running. So, I don't run. Now that I'm over 50 and more protective of my knees, that doesn't seem as huge of a sacrifice as it once did.
