Don't know you: or what your current level of fitness is. Would recommend working with a trainer on this one.

I am 27 year old female. My period is late by 18 days this month. It was expected on 12th October. I have done exercising like squats, jumping, push- ?

I landed my jump and my knee started hurting a lot. For first 2 days after the incident i could barely walk and bend my knee now after 3 months it got a little better but it still hurts whenever i squat. It wasnt bruised or swollen. What's my injury?

When I exercise(ex.:squats)HR is around 135bpm but after I finish the set it rises to around 155bpm and only then starts to drop?If I exercise in sitting/laying position HR is around 100 but as soon as I stand up it rises to 110-120bpm. Is it normal?
