I have a recumbent exercise cycle. I had been going great guns doiing intervals, till my knee began hurting. I adjusted it several times, so the distance to the pedals was a bit shorter, but it didn't help. So I kinda have slacked for the past month, putting off or skipping workouts and feeling bad about it.
What with getting the LADA dx, well, I felt like maybe IR was not such a big factor in my case, and after all, my BGs were good and my weight was coming down. So I had all the reasons ... then I read several articles that state insulin resistance is almost always a part of LADA (of course, this is theory not IRL -- I know many here who have NO IR and LADA).
I got on the bike last night and lengthened the distance from seat pedals about an inch, and VIOLA! No knee pain! And had a great session. So now I am thinking all the ascribed psychological motives to not working out were BS. I am actually looking forward to exercising again.
So much for sports psychology -- I was overthinking, totally!
