Question about leg training

Hammerlynn · 11-12-2002, 06:52 AM

I need help! I've been having hip pain and finally went to the doctor. At the ripe age of 30, I have degenerative arthritis. She said there is not much they can do right now other than monitor it (via xray.)

She told me to keep exercising but I need to scale back some of the movements with leg workouts. The pushing and squating has to go

They irritate the joint something fierce. And because walking on the treadmill irritates it as well when I do that I have to take ibuprofen after workouts.

Can I get moderate definition with extensions and curls? My cardio will be limited to the recumbent bike mostly, tread mill as tolerated and I think the stair stepper will be okay.

Any thoughts or am I screwed

Degenerative arthritis runs in my family. All the males seem to get it.

If you want to keep exercising it looks like leg ext and curls will HAVE to do. You should be able to stay lean with that if your diet is clean.

I would think SLDL would be ok to?

I don't know Scotty. With SLDL you bend at the hip where the problem is. maybe with a light weight. My hip was hurting a few months ago and SLDL irritated it.

no exercise will give you definition, but I think you can maintain your quads and hams with extensions and curls.

the definition will come from proper dieting.

thanks so much guys! I did simulate the SLDL motions and it was too much pressure

My damn hip even hurts when I walk.

I appreciate the help and will just have to stick to the bike, extensions and curls. Oh and stay away from the Cheesecake Factory
