  • Definitely #14...good stuff.
  • I recommend an elliptical if you have access to one. I am also just over 200lbs and I prefer the benefits of this machine over pounding my knees on concrete.

  • I hesitate a bit posting this...but I feel your anquish. I once pulled my groin training for a marathon and I did not want to lose ground as well. I started on the elliptical and I was able to continue to burn my calories as well as keep some cardio in my daily routine. If you go this route, go slow and easy. Rest your…
