Good thing is I haven't gained any weight even though my cardio is about... 50% less than what it was about 2 weeks ago, but been adding in strength training targeting mainly my arms, back and chest, once or twice I did legs but than my knee began to feel weak again.

It's an old injury and unfortunately, I noticed my knee getting weak before it popped, but I ignored it thinking it was just normal muscle fatigue that'd build up but between boxing, running and lifting with only one day rest a week, I overworked the knee and one ****** wrong weight shift while pivoting screwed me.
What's concerning me is my center of gravity is off because I'm nursing the injured knee. I feel it in my footwork and it's honestly making me panic lol. It'll be 4 weeks by the time I get back to my boxing club and 4 weeks is enough time to form bad habits.

Originally posted by Eastbound View PostI believe all these things helped and I've been back to running for over a year now and even a few 5k races. Seriously, my knee had a swollen knot the size of a golf ball on the inside of the knee when it was bad.
So, I compromised, I won't go to my boxing club for 4 weeks (I'm off on vacation next week), but I still go to the gym and keep it moderate. Right now, I'm terrified of pivoting to be honest lol... I know it sounds pathetic, but there's a mental block in my head that stops me from properly pivoting out of fear my knee will get jacked up again.
Debated on using sports tape on my knee for added support but I don't know if I even believe that works.
