well sure it helps but the key is a balanced diet along with exercise just by doing exercise wont help you lose weight as if afterwards you go and eat a hamburger and chips you will just pile the weight back on. Another advantage of using a fixed bicycle is that it will build up you leg muscles and some stomach muscles.

i had knee pain to and i went to the physical therapist and they gave me a workout.  I went home that night, thru out the work out after 2 reps and bought a knee brace, a thin one just to keep the muscles warm, which i wore for a year and a half and i haven't had any pain since.  That was 4 years ago.  This is good for dull, stretched feeling pain, sharp pain is something that the trainers probably could help you out with.\nPS i only knew the work out was crap cause the workout they had given me for my shoulders the year before had gotten better by just working through it when i could and not using it while still getting the best workout when i couldn't.

I bet if you stand straight, your feet flare lateraly.  This is putting stress on the MCL.  Also, the fact that you don't do any strengh training that works your legs could be the very reason your knees hurt.  What do I mean, well, the way you walk, your posture, if you run on concrete, could all cause your knees to hurt.  The best way to keep them healthy is to make sure you use new shoes (esp if you run), try orthotics (will help to correct your standing and walking posture), Have someone evaluate your GAIT(and orthapedic dr. will not do any of this) and start working out your legs.  I love watching people in the gym abuse their upper body, but neglect their legs.  Then never wear shorts at the gym.  Large upper body, spindily little legs.  If you work your legs, your muscles will protect your joints.  I love the argument that "lifting legs will make you slow"  Look at olympic sprinters legs.  Then try to tell me they don't do squats, deadlifts, etc.  Yes, working out legs is hard work, but why are you in the gym.  Squats, deadlifts, Calves, quads.  Get working on it.  Make sure someone who knows what they are doign shows you how to prevent injury.  Squats are great, with proper form, deadlifts and ab work will protect you low back, Quads and hams will help with knees and low back.  Plus, get good with squats and make the meatheads in the gym jealous because they wished they could be that strong.  At 180 lbs, I can squat over 400 lbs and I do not have an ounce of back or knee pain.  Have fun.

Yes! Perfectly normal.\nYou would be underweight if you weighed lower than 111\nYou would be overweight if you weighed more than 150

you're ok... as long as you're not starving yourself deliberately.\n110 is the ideal body weight for your height and age.

maybe stop running for a few weeks. Replace running with walking. Fast walking. Some people even call it *power walking* You will moving at the same speed as running, but just be walking instead. \n\nRunning and jogging does cause knee pain because of all the impact you are putting on your body(whether you are overweight or not).\n\nSo just give your body a break for a few weeks, and walk fast instead.\n\nAlso, swimming is one of the best work outs you can get. It burns calories while putting zero impact on your joints!\n\nGood Luck.

I fell and landed with the inside of my knee on the floor. Kind of a contortionist landing and not much pain except for the impact. I forgot about it.\nTwo years later I started using the treadmill and my knee began to hurt. An MRI showed that when I fell, I had torn the medial miniscus (the cushion between tibia and femur-on the inner part of knee) The miniscus doesnt have nerve endings so I didnt feel pain from the tear when I fell. Nor does the miniscus heal.(At the time of the MRI report, I couldnt remember ever hurting my knee, until I thought back). \nI went through physical therapy which alleviated most of the pain and lessened the occurences of pain. The part of it that tore away, floats around and occasionally causes pain.  I reinjured the same knee and had more PT but now, it will hurt at the end of the day usually if at all, if I use the stairs a lot that day, bicycle etc.\nPoint is, you could have done something to injure it and passed it off. \nHave it checked out with diagnosic tests, xray, MRI etc. If you get regular xrays make sure that it is light enough to see soft tissue as well as dark enough to see bone. (Just tell the tech youre an xray tech and they'll be glad to oblige your request to show the soft tissue, and cross table lateral)o/w theres a lot of ego in that job and requests from patients arent taken well.Theres a sign on the lateral knee view that can, if taken properly, show a sign of trauma. The lateral knee xray should also be taken "cross table" to show any fluid level indicating trauma.\nI'm not diagnosing. Just my experience. I'm sure you've been careful to stretch before and after running. Running is very hard on the knees anyway.

The body is a strange but a wonderful thing........\nIt communicates with you. The only language it knows is pain. (of course pleasure too, but that's another story.....!!)\n\nSo, you listen. Listen good. Knee pain tells you that it is under trauma and needs care. No one but a professional can adequately answer why it is paining. May be thru MRI..? Thru a series of tests?\n\nYou did not say how old you are. If you are young -- (under 40), are you engaged in intense sports? Tennis, Volleyball, football, basket ball - all these sports require sudden jerky movements to your knee.  \n\nOr, do you pray a lot on your knee. Don't laugh - it does give troubles.\n\nBottom line - see a doc.

Interesting, I have had this feeling before and this is what I have done: Get plenty of sleep (at least 8 hours), eat healthy (fruits, protein [chicken], salad, fibers [oatmeal, breads], drink lots of water) 3-5 small meals a day, and get rid of any stinking thinking. Its important to stretch and drink water before, during and after your exercises. The most important thing I have done is stand up, bend slightly over, put your hands on your knees, and squat down slowly while keeping your hands on your knees as added support, then stand up slowly while keeping your hands on your knees, do this 15-20 times BEFORE doing any exercises such as running, squats, any leg lifts, anything that bends the knees - this warms up the knee joints. Also, wear comfortable shoes. Run on grass rather than a hard surface as it takes the impact away from your knee joints. Consider swimming and cycling as a good warmup. Maybe do lighter weight for a while to save your joints. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your joints active. Maybe look into some joint repair supplements at GNC. I do circuit training and I get a great workout without the heavy weights. My knees are fine now. Good luck.

Flippin ages!  I was knocked down by a car 4 weeks ago and although nothing was broken, I cannot kneel, or fully bend my leg yet.  It is a complicated joint the knee with lots of room for swelling and pockets of fluid.  Keep off it as much as poss and let mother nature do what she does best...in her own time.

I like your question! I don't play soccer, but I wanted to compliment you on asking about sports. You sound like a healthy, normal person.

You might specifically ask your doctor if your weight is ok.  If he/she says its fine, there probably isn't anything to worry about.  If your frame is small enough, I guess its possible that your weight is just fine.

It's very difficult to answer a question like that online.  Age and level of activity is a huge factor.  You could have osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone cancer, torn meniscus, torn ACL or other ligaments, gout, or plain join inflammation from using your knees too much.  See a doctor.

You should care about your weight for health reasons.  If you are far overweight, you are putting unnecessary strain on your body.  Your knees and your ankles will be more susceptible to injury because of your weight.  If you are really overweight, you are elevating your risk of a heart attack (seriously, young people do have heart attacks) and diabetes.\n\nIf I was a coach, I would wonder why the overweight player has not done something to get themselves into better condition.  Discipline and desire are two important traits of an excellent player ... if you are overweight, your discipline and desire can be questioned.

Yep, I had patella-femoral syndrome, which has since become floating knee caps - translation, my knee caps don't track as they should. Stairs were a big thing for me (grasping the railing sounds very familiar).\n\nUm, you can do a quick eyeball check if this is something you have by standing up square with your knees over your toes and slowly bending your knees to about 90 degree. When your legs are bent (you may need a mirror) look to see if your knee caps are directly over your toes or not. If not - welcome to the club (lots of young women have it), believe it or not, you can survive this, and get lots of relief (little things like careful shoe shopping can make a big difference).\n\nyou might want to check out knee1.com for some good resources of info for knee problems. I know it's scary facing all this, but the more you know the less scary it becomes.\n\ngood luck!
