So I have lost about 91 lbs now. For my exercise I started out riding a stationary bike, this summer I was able to do a lot of biking outside also. Then the beginning of September my husband bought me an elliptical trainer which I really love. I have about 19 lbs yet I want to loose and I think adding some strength training would help take it off a bit faster...maybe? I just am not sure what to do. I use my elliptical 50-60 min 5-6 days a week right now.
I have a couple limitations. I have a bum knee. It has gotten a lot better since loosing my weight, but it still bothers me if I overdo it. So squats and stuff like that really bother it. I also have had 3 c-sections and a hernia repair (caused by my c-sections), so doing crunches/sit-ups gives me like a charlie horse in my stomach, which hurts and is hard to un-knot.
So any suggestions for what I could try? I need stuff I can do at home also. I am curious about kettlebells. Is that mostly a standing workout?
I hope that all made sense. I appreciate any suggestions you may have.
