My knee is feeling quite a bit better, and when I don't exercise for a bit it's bad for my moods. In between trying not to walk too much in Montreal, I started squeezing in bits: a few squats here, some crunches over there. So, today, back to the gym after work. It was a brief workout. I'm more familiar than I would like with how to ease back into exercise after a (not incredibly long) layoff. I did fewer different exercises than usual, and on most of what I did, I did either lower weights, fewer reps, or a combination.
