In the summer, I would go running outside. Now that it is winter, I don't go running outside (I'm not an avid runner). I try to use the treadmill to run, but my knees and ankle are in agony within minutes. It never hurt to run outside, but on the treadmill it does. I go to the gym as often as I can and use the elliptical, but that is only on the weekends, I use weights every other day on the weekdays (exercise tv), but I really want to do more cardio! Is there anything I can do to help my knees/ankles on the treadmill? I put the incline up to 1 or 2, and I have/used to have orthotics, but they don't help.
Also, I have hyper-lordosis, and so doing ab exercises are almost impossible. I have heard a thousand times "tilt your pelvis while doing your exercises." Tried that! I can get one, MAYBE two reps in, and then I have to re-situate myself. Sometimes I have good days, where I can actually do a couple sets of one or two ab exercises. When I had lost some weight, it was easier to do. Any tips, or other ab exercises I can do? And please, no more of those pelvic tilts-it doesn't work for me!
Thank you!
