What is the best way to take care of your knees, i'm a big fan of fitness and the last thing i want to end up hurting are my knees.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protect the knees.: First, choose low-impact cardio - swimming, cycling, elliptical - running is hard on the knees. Second, build the muscles about the knees - squats, deadlifts, leg extensions. Third, keep your weight down - the knees are weight bearing joints, after all.
