What impact can my excess weight have on my knees?
Excess weight will increase pressure through your knees and therefore increase damage to the joint surfaces. Weight loss is important to help decrease the chances of the formation of arthritis or decrease the pain associated with arthritis. High impact exercises such as running/jogging or jumping are not recommended for arthritic knees. Low impact exercises such as walking, bicycle, elliptical machine, or aquatic exercises are great ways to stay active with less damage to the articular surfaces of your knees. READ MORE
