[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2444955, member: 41816"] I would urge you to think long term. Decades, not months. If your knees were hurting previously, they were under strain. It is fab that you have lost weight, but do you really think that an extended period of knee strain has been fully rectified by a bit a weight loss, and the welcome absence of pain? You have no idea what the long term consequences will be, and introducing high impact exercise on an established weakness could fast track you to serious injury. I'm not arguing against exercise, I am simply arguing against choosing a type of exercise that may exacerbate a pre-existing long term problem. There are so many other types of exercise available, why not choose one with less (or zero) joint impact. Don't know how old you are, or the state of your joints, but I have had several friends who have gone through Born Again exercise kicks, who have ended up with some really nasty consequences. Months of sofa rest, tendonitis, knee replacements, ongoing back issues, repeated steroid injections... I'm 54 and my knees are Right Royally ****** after a lot of sport in my teens (back when my body was young, fit, agile and healed rapidly). If I could go back 30-40 years I would stop all that silly high impact nonsense, and do things VERY differently. [/QUOTE]
