Old Man Kicking...

I am constantly looking for excuses for my achy knees - anything but getting old. If my knees ache because I'm getting old, it is an irreversible downhill battle. If the blame lies elsewhere, there is hope they can recover and be youthful and fresh again! Last night I found another non-aging excuse for achy knees.

Last night we didn't work any horse stance or low stances. We did work kicking - the entire class. I'm thinking my elderly knees are irritated at the twisting motion involved in roundhouse kicks. Man, my knees are wimpy. Perhaps it isn't age, maybe I need to find exercises to toughen my knees up.

No matter how achy my knees are, the horse stance is no problem. If I could do other exercises so that they react that way to higher stances etc that would be great.

Anyhow enough of my whining about getting old and being a wuss...
