Hi RAMONJIMENEZ ! Can you help explain to me why low impact movements are a better option?
it is well known that 5-6 times your body weight is the impact force that goes through your knee with every step you take. therefore any activity that decreases that force wil potentially damage your knee less with every step

my answer is the same as above--low impact is key rj
