Hurt my knee whilst doing squats.

Can you explain how you are doing these? Are your toes straight ahead or pointed out a little? How far are you legs apart? How heavy is the weight? Just the bar?

I seen you doing incline walking, jogging etc.. maybe the new pounding is causing added pressure on the knee joints?

Like GG said, check your form & NEVER work through pain, 'ache' is different than pain.

Keep at it girl.

Knee never comes over the toe, basically stick my backside out. I had a dodgy knee before, but its been fine for the last 6 months - it feels like the knee cap is grinding, I've been to the drs before and she said it was where the muscles around the knee weren't strong enough to hold it in place properly, and just said it needed strengthening. I do a few exercises for it, so will just keep to them for the time being.

tonight I'll do rowing machine and cross trainer - see how the knee feels before attempting any walking / jogging!!

I personally would not fo squats right now...I have had a bad knee for the past 1yr 1/2 and I just would do something else so you don't make it worse

Hello girlies!

Been a bit of a lightweight - I'm going to the gym tonight! Promise!
Going to do warm up on bike, 1500 metres on the rower, 15 mins on cross trainer, then see how the knee feels and will either walk up hill or jog for 20-30 mins.

Didn't manage to go to the gym on Tuesday - washing machine broke down and 'the man that can' didn't turn up till 9.30pm!

Anyway went to the gym last night did bike, rowing and 35 minutes on the cross trainer, did that rather than the running as I felt my knee a bit - not bad, just enough to remind me it was there.

Carbs were really low, so I've added 1/2 cup of oats for breakfast, and have only 3 egg whites rather than 1 whole egg and 4 egg whites.
