Another Day, another exciting "Dave and Andrea's excellent adventure". Well right as rain Mr. Delicate and I hit the hills in our usual style... (with a limp)... KIdding, and all kidding aside our friend Dave is doing a great job. However there is "drama".
Due to a tragic "gardening accident" , while out weeding our man Dave has incurred what sounds like a strained ligament in his right knee and could potentially be an issue for us. Any injury can be of great issue when you are on an assertive quest like the one Dave is on and is coming from the physical shape Dave is in right at this moment.
Train with your Brain !!! Caution, safety rule the day...
No worries for this dynamic Duo. I have prescribed the "M.I.C.E" method of recovery. Oh you may have had the "R.I.C.E" drilled in your head, mine is a little different, all good for you to know.
You may recoznize...

Move around (use caution)
Ice (I recommend Baby sweetlet peas)...(Keep them "in" the bag people....)
Compress
Elevate
I know Daves Knees are screaming for relief. Sometimes I can hardly hear what Dave is saying because they are screaming so loud... Part of my strategy as Daves' trainer is to return Quad strength and balance along side strengthening up Dave's butt and Hamstrings. this will stabilize those tired overburdened knees and give them support and assistance in there next years of being " Dave's Knees"... add to that reducing the overall "load of Dave" those knees are responsible for and voila... Dave will Garden again. Dave may even Skydive... who knows!
Part of our program today was to begin this process.
He is a trooper and is probably sitting a bag of peas by this time of the day...
Its all good.
Trainer Andrea
