A member asked:
I have a bad knee - is jogging going to make it worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When we jog we can load as much as 5000 pounds of pressure on our joints with each step. It is time you found a non pounding exercise. Tai chi can be very helpful and is non weight bearing. Swimming, elliptical machine, walking. Jogging is out.
