Eschewing Power Walk For the Nonce

Hamstring stretch. Feel the burn!
Google “muscles behind knee” and you’ll find they mostly come down from the hamstring—I think that’s where the problem is. 
Behind knee

This morning I added yesterday's new exercises to Matt’s original warmup routine. This afternoon I eschewed (meaning ‘forsook’, as I was recently reminded by my Scrabble-playing wife) the usual Power Walk. Later today, while pedaling, rowing--whatever--at the gym, Healthy Knee carried the load; Poor Knee caught a break. 

I'll continue this regime for a couple of days.

Tomorrow I’m auditioning a Yoga For Athletes class held at a studio just two blocks up Dayton Avenue. The goal there is to stretch and strengthen, especially, my leg and lower back muscles, so that my body's movement toward the 2042 goal is sustainable. 

Remember, this is a long term aim. 

Onward.
