I have really hit the workouts hard the last week, making sure I get an hour of cardio a day as well as at least 15-20 minutes of strength training. Another workout I put together for my team:

On days when my knee is hurting, or I am sore and just don't feel like working out I could easily lay on the couch and skip my workout. But I have been persevering and going every day and I feel so much better!
