Help! I may have injured something
Hello Everyone,
I have been doing the elliptical for about 3 weeks now. Yesterday I get on and my knees kept buckling. I thought i was going to really hurt myself. I left my cell at home today so I am going to call my doctor when I get home... Anyone every experience this? What could it be?
Any help would be great,
Thank you

Just a thought...Were you hungry? I've tried to do the elliptical before and started when I was hungry. I felt like I was going to faint after about 15 minutes. I happened to have a protein "bullet" with me and drank that with some water. In about 15 minutes I felt so much better that I completed my exercise routine. (My knees buckle when I'm weak with hunger). I used to NEVER let myself get physically hungry so the sensation of actual weakness from hunger was new to me. I usually drink about 1/2- 1 c. of orange juice before exercising and bring a protein bar with me just in case. Of course, I also bring plenty of water for before, during and after exercise.
However, you do need to follow up with a doctor to check. You might have an injury that could get worse if not diagnosed and taken care of properly.
Best of luck!
