I had a Fabulous workout today. I emailed my training coach about the knee pain I had and she recommended warm up sets in addition to the cardio warm up. She said it sounded like my IT (iliotibial) band was irritated. I did all the warmups and was very careful with my form and I had no knee pain!!! Woo Hoo!!! I am so stoked about this :-)
