I've had dodgy knees for as long as I can remember ... but then in 2004 I started running with a running club I was around 20St then ... and the knees just got worse.
Fast forward to today I'm trying to exercise, I do spin, body combat and weights, but my knees have really started to play me up lately.
I can't squat, as I get to a certain point and my knees (mainly my left) gives way accompanied by a sharp pain. I'm knock-kneed so that probably doesn't help
I just wondered if it really DOES get better once the weight is off?
Also - I'm a great swimmer, but don't like to swim too much as the chemicals are too aggressive on my hair. So wondered it there was anything else I could do besides swimming that could keep my fit (and abate my current weight gain ), but ease my knees - I'm not doing spin, cross trainer, bike, wave machine etc. as I really need rest and get my knees back to health.
I really wanted to do Race For Life this year, but that's looking unlikely now .
Tah in advance.
