Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Do the weights do that much good when you're not doing anything else or are you just moving your upper body?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Every little bit helps. Ask yourself this...does doing nothing do any good? Is that better than weights? Of course not. You have to start somewhere. Weights will get you started. Part of what you want your goal to be is to make exercise a part of your daily life. We have to crawl before we can walk. I say start with the weights and don't worry too much about burning a lot of calories at this point. Concentrate more on your food and just moving every day. ~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~' Tory Klementsen, MCP A+ Career and Technology Educator www.teechur.com www.msteechur.com -The successful person will do the things that the unsuccessful person will not. > Re: exercise and bad knees > > > Do the weights do that much good when you're not doing > anything else or are you just moving your upper body? > > Dana > exercise and bad knees > > > In a message dated 01/20/2004 8:52:17 PM Pacific Standard Time, > Serious-Weight-Watchers writes: > Does anybody have suggestions on exercise for someone > with bad knees? > > Hi! > I believe water aerobics .... or at least water exercise > would be good > .... > it has less/no impact on your knees. > > Amira > " Walk in beauty & don't step on the faeries!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 I LOVE water aerobics. It is low impact, not no impact, however. The first couple of days my knees where tired. I have bad knees too.

If so, would exercise bike work ..... of course you'd be bending/working your knees; however, you wouldn't have the body weight on them .... seems like one of my customers who has bad knees ..... her doctor mentioned that method to her ....

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hi , I've thought about water aerobics and I may go to that at one point. Right now I don't have a bathing suit and can't afford to get one. Plus I really don't want to be seen in one right now either! Dana Re: exercise and bad knees I LOVE water aerobics.
