sore knees

Betty · Post by **Betty** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 4:24 pm

I've tried shovelgloving this week, and have enjoyed the workout (ever so much more interesting than the dumbell routine). However, I have some rough cartilage in my knees (an ailment sometimes called runners knee) which causes them to get sore when over used, and though you would expect shovelglove to be ok, after 3 days my knees are complaining.

Anyone with a similar complaint and any tips on how to do the exercises without tweeking them?

Thanks,

Betty

Hi!
Go very very slowly and make sure your knees don't go past your toes and that you stay in very good allignment with your knees also, under your hips..
Avoid twisting while lifting..
You might have to leave some moves out with your condition..
Good luck!
Peace and Love,
