Today for the first time in 11 months, I didn’t have to lash my thighs together with a gait belt while working out on the NuStep. It’s possible I could have done it before, but today I had trouble threading the belt under my legs and up the other side again, so I tried just going without. My right knee stayed put without flopping in and out as the leg pumped, which means the right quads are strong enough to hold the leg in proper position.
That sounds little but it’s huge to me.
