I have the Bleep Test coming up this Monday, and during my holidays (the past two weeks), I have been exercising (through going cycling, walking or doing an exercise DVD almost every day) to try to prepare myself for it.
I’m quite a small person, I’m short and I don’t weigh very much.
I experienced some pain in my knees a bit over a year ago, so I decided to visit the doctor.
The doctor said that my joints were possibly a bit weak as they had been over used, due to the amount of sports i do.
So i rested and used medication until it was better.
I’ve had slight on and off pain since then.
Today I was doing the DVD, because I have two days left until the test and I wanted to get my fitness up to the best I coudl for the test, but when I started doing squats, my kneecap became so painful I had to stop.
So I walked around a bit, and gradually the pain went. So I tried a squat again, more gently, but the pain came back and my knee became stiff again.
So I’m wondering, considering I have two days left until the test, do I pack in the exercising and try to rest my knee?
The problem is, I really want to be at maximum fitness for the test, as it is important to my grade. I know I shoudln’t compromise my health for one grade, but really this is the last chance I will have at proper exercise before the test and I wonder if maybe I should try it.
