A member asked:
Do you think i should be working out 3 or 4 times a week if i have spina bifida and knee problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but....: Yes, you should be doing moderate exercise, but as much as your body can tolerate. Don't over do it, otherwise you could potentially cause harm to both of your conditions. Try not to put too much strain on your knees. A good exercise in such situations is swimming. Good luck!
