KNEE PAIN

Yes, there are a few ways to keep your knees healthy.
Strengthen Your Hips. Try half squats. (if you don't know how to do squats correctly check in with a trainer or a physical therapist)
Extra weight is your knee's worst enemy. Losing a little as 11 pounds can reduce your risk of knee osteoarthritis by more than 50%. The combination of weight control and strength is the best way to avoid arthritis.
High Heels? Over 3.5" puts extra stress on your knees. High heels can load more force onto the knee joint. Walk to and from work in comfortable shoes. Your hips, knees and feet will thank you for this.
