Do not threat clown … i jog enough to make up for everyone here who does not. 5000 miles and counting.

i also hike and bike…

Jog 5 miles a day
walk 60+ miles a week
bike 3 miles every so often.

my knees are not great either but there is ways around that if u want to.

most of my walking is done to and from work and at work. it is probably over 60 miles but i havent really ever counted it completely… i know i walk 25 miles a day while at work.

when im on holidays away from work … i do a 8 mile walk most evenings… sometimes i run it depending on my mood

cardio makes all the difference in all aspects of fitness.

you can be the strongest person in the world but if u run out of breath in 1 min you wont get very far…

i walk roughly 40000 - 50000 steps on a work day … the average recommended is something like 15000

EDIT: while on this topic … i was having a interesting convosation with a work friend last week … he was impressed about how easily i could transfer the dough from bowl to bowl by hand said ā€œit’s insane how easy i made it lookā€ when people twice my size struggled…

it got me thinking why that might be.

i’m not anything special or amazing to look at … i am around 6ft 1" tall … slim build and i weigh 75 kilos…

but what splits me apart from people twice my size and who should be twice my strength … is this…

my Fat to muscle ratio … i have higher muscle % than even people twice my size even though i weight only 75kilos i am pretty solid. you can literally punch me in the stomach and hit a brick wall.

the average person in the modern world is higher fat percentage than muscle…

this is why i did not struggle and people twice my size did.

Do share some tips. I must have an issue with lateral collateral ligament or sth.

i’m no doctor… but i know what worked for me … and it was strapping them up in high quality supports … and slowly also building them up over time.

smaller weights… more days…

not smaller weights longer duration.

my knees used to be really bad running on roads…

but now after working on them i hardly get any problems.

another alternative … is buying a treadmill with good suspension … even when my knees were bad on roads… my treadmill would never cause any problems…

EDIT: You might even find swimming to be a better option if your knees are that bad.

It’s not too bad, it’s more of an annoyment atm as it’s something I keep noticing during workouts, also used to feel it driving a car but that has gone away. I mainly don’t want it to progress, I need to do more targeted but lower load exercises for it like you’ve mentioned. I maybe suffered an injury to it in the past, it’s been a couple of years now that I keep noticing something’s not quite right there. Maybe it healed badly or sth.

what caused mine… was i jumped into bed once years ago … and i landed on a broken spring which hit my knee in exactly the wrong place…

since then i get occasional stabbing pains when i over use it …

but if i strap it up usually i have no problems at all and the problem normally stops in a day or two …

for about 3 months after i landed on that spring i could not even lay on my right side in bed the knee pain was that intense lol.

why i still get problems with it now … me being impatient at the time, i kept jogging on a near daily basis even in great pain … which hindered the healing process.

Ouch.

Yeah for me it was an injury from overuse after a period of not doing much. It was just one day but I couldn’t even step on in for a month but I suck at going to the doc so I just waited it out and it got better, but overuse triggers it slightly again. I should definitely try strapping it because I don’t want it to cause muscle imbalance either due to me being more careful with the right knee.

I also bought some collagen supplements just in case it’s my joints aging too ^^ It shouldn’t have anything to do with it though.
