Be seen: I applaud your effort to lose weight and exercise. That being said, you may want to be seen and evaluated just to insure that you did not seriously injure your knee. Doing exercises that are too “extreme” may lead to injury if you have previously been very sedentary. Consider working with a trainer to graduallly increase your exercise regimen.
