Hello,
I dont really post over here, but I have an excersice question.
First, let me start of by saying that I have old lady knees. My knees are awful. Im 24 years old and have already had 3 surgeries on my right knee and one on my right. Its been about 4 years since my last surgery, but my knee is not very strong. I know this is my fault because I never really followed through with PT. So, are there any knee strengthing activities that any of you would reccommend?
Secondly, I live a block away from the lake! Yay me! In the summer, its awesome. Anyway, at the end of my street is this huge hill that leads down to our neighborhood's private beach. You can drive down there, but parking cost $4, so we normally just walk. Walking down the hill is no problem. Walking back up however, does some damage to my knee. I use a knee brace on my right knee, but it still doesnt help. I plan on walking the hill more once the weather breaks a little, just for some excersice. My goal is to be able to walk up the hill without having to stop and take breaks. Any tips on how to do this with minimal impact on my knee?
