A member asked:
Which exercise is more knee-friendly? doing the spinning class or running in the treadmill?

Spinning.. if by that you mean stationary bicycle. Personally I have cut down on the knee impact by going close to barefoot but that is highly individually variable.

Spinning will be easier on knees as treadmill will be weight fully loaded. Depending on circumstances a physio or physical therapist may be able to design a program adjusted to your current needs.

Achy calf and achy knees, mainly at night. Work out 3-4 times a week, running on treadmill and squats with no supplements. Not painful, just achy?
