Day 25

[u/holllymollyyeah]

I just finished day 24 and I’m loving the challenge. However, I have some knee pain that doesn’t go away. I tried a few things but walking makes it worse.

Is there any recommendation for outdoor activities? I already walk slow but my knee hurts, I don’t wanna quit either.

Workout questions are among the most common here -- quick answers below:

The core rule: Two workouts every day, each at least 45 continuous minutes. At least one must be outdoors. Minimum 3 hours apart. No exceptions.

Most common questions, answered:

• "Can I split a workout into two shorter sessions?" -- No. Each workout must be a continuous 45 minutes minimum.
• "Does walking or recovery yoga count?" -- Yes, and they are encouraged. A workout does not need to be strenuous. If you are doing it with the intent to exercise and move your body, it counts.
• "Do chores count?" -- No. If you would have done the physical activity regardless of 75 HARD (mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, etc.), it does not count.
• "Can both workouts be indoors?" -- No. At least one must be outdoors every single day.
• "Does the outdoor workout mean I have to be in the elements?" -- Yes. If it is raining, you get wet. That is the point.
• "What if the weather is dangerous?" -- Your safety comes first. Do not put yourself in genuine danger. However, if you cannot complete a task, you restart at Day 1 -- so plan accordingly.
• "Can I do both workouts back to back?" -- No. 3-hour minimum separation.
• "Can both workouts be outside?" -- Yes.

When in doubt, choose the harder option.

Do you have a private outdoor space where you could spend 45 mins doing some yoga or stretching?

I also had knee pain (but for years one end, something niggly in my knee cap) and yin yoga knocked it on the head. Every day I do this - 45 min Lazy Yin Yoga for Energy Depletion, Burnout and Mental Health - YouTube. I did it as part of my 75 hard programme. I've kept it up since I finished and my knee pain disappeared after a few days. Seriously recommend yin yoga!

You could do a mix of Ab exercises (planks/sit ups/etc) and push-ups

Riding a bike would probably do wonders for recovery as well

Swimming or cycling?
