I think your surgeon would know best. You could, however, seek a second opinion. If you do decide to stop squats and lunges, there are plenty of other, knee-friendly exercises that would be very...

I totally agree with BunnyHop. I'd add that it sounds like forcing yourself to work out would result in counterproductive stress. Who need that extra cortisol in the system? :)

I've never heard the term 'control troll' before. But I've had the experience. I'm ashamed to say that I have often replied in an equally passive-agressive way.
I wish I could manage a comeback à la...

Caitlin, I am new to Tonique as well. I did Premier on Friday and Mat yesterday.

I see no reason why you couldn't do the workout in segments. Or you could do fewer reps. I believe that Sylwia...
