Knees stopped play

Was so enjoying getting started but by W3R2 am in so much pain w my knees I’ve had to stop - gutted! Going to try the strengthening exercises on the link for a couple of weeks and try again - maybe some supports too?

Good luck to everyone - so great reading all your triumphs!

Those exercises really sorted my knees out... in pain free for the first time in 30 years, mainly down to Oldfloss keeping posting the link!!!

Supports can help, I used braces, but I’d only recommend them As a short term measure as they don’t allow the knee to use the impact to strengthen. Stretchy type supports aren’t quite so bad for this.

You’ll be back and stronger than ever!
