Best routine(s) for a time crunch?

[DSM4Life]

Thanks, DSM. I'll keep grinding away.

As far as knees, and squats, no, it isn't the leg soreness that bothers me (I like getting sore, and I like working legs--as a runner it always has huge benefit). My knees themselves will hurt, and I start to get joint pain. I've had 5 knee surgeries, shouldn't run, but dirt is forgiving and it's my one vice. Squats, even if just to 90 degrees, makes left knee start to swell and get stiff and sore. The presses don't do that for some reason.

Got ya. If it causes pain then i say skip it.

Also for running , ever try the ellipticals ? I mainly use these to cut down on ankle impact as opposed to running.

Yeah, I do the ellipticals when I have to. Maybe someday when I get some muscle running will be too painful and I won't mind them so much.
