• Knee Injuries from Workouts | Small Steps to Health – Annotated
  • Stair climbing can also strength knees, but only if the stair height is under 8
    inches. One of my favorite workout dvds is a series called The Firm. They spend a lot of time doing tall
    box climb with weights where the box height is 14 inches. I never attempt to do
    all those sets with the 14-inch box. My knees get so sore even though I do not
    have any knees problem to begin with. As a modification, I used an 8-inch step
    instead. If an exercise is exacerbating an injury, by all means modify it!
• Facing the Community College Fad Great article by Lee Binz. For at least the last five years or so, homeschooling has been the fad in our local homeschool community – and that always baffled me for the reasons listed on this article.I would however, consider sending my more mature high schoolers students to a college course given in the evening. In my experience, the more serious students take the evening classes, so at least that’s a plus. But even that would be a last resort. tags: debt college education homeschooling
