    As long as you're training in Philly, perhaps you should pull a Rocky and run up the museum steps! Good Luck training!

    I has the same tear two years ago. do leg lifts with light weights to strengthen your hip. Do front back and side. this helps stabilize the upper leg and put less stress on the knee. the other is light leg curls. this strengthens the big muscles of the leg and stabilizes the knee joint also. this was given to me by my trainer after my tear and it worked wonders.
