    Exercise: Good For Knees After All

    knees.jpg

    Contrary to popular opinion, exercise generally has a net positive effect when it comes to knee health.

    A meta-analysis published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, reviewed 28 studies (representing nearly 10,000 participants) regarding physical activity and knee osteoarthritis.

    Here's what they came up with;

    Researchers at Monash University in Australia found that studies on exercise and knee pain to be conflicting, with some studies showing negative effects, some showing positive, and some being neutral.The researchers dug deeper to see the impact on different parts of the knee. Exercise does in fact promote osteophytes (bony spurs) in the knee joint, however there was a noted absence of accompanying cartilage damage. The bony spurs are simply a healthy response to mechanical stimulation of the joint, not an indicator of disease. Further, exercise did not narrow the joint space where knee cartilage is housed. Moreover, physical activity actually was associated with increased cartilage volume and fewer defects in the cartilage itself. From the pooling of these studies, it seems that exercise has a generally beneficial effect on the knees.Joint pain and by extension, knee pain, is highly individual, with a combination of genetic/mechanical and environmental factors to consider.Vary activity - include both impact and non-impact cardio work. Strength train - working surrounding muscles, focusing on compound movements (squats/lunges/deadlifts).Supplement strength training with accessory/postural work - focusing on getting your butt muscles firing and ensuring good pelvic alignment.Don't forget mobility/tissue work - work on mobilizing the hips and ankle joints, and use a foam roller or another device designed to self-massage trigger points.

    Would This Amount of Exercise Be Considered "Moderate"? [Forum]

    today I did a "guts, butts, and thighs" class

    It felt like a pretty good workout, but I'm in shape so I wasn't sure, I did hear others say how much it made them sore but idk if I will be feeling that.

    the class was an hour and afterward I talked to the instructor and asked her how many calories she estimated it burned. she said of course it depends on weight, which I know, but she she estimates it around of 600 because it is an anaerobic class which mixes cardio and strength.

    after the class I ran 3 miles, 2 were a jog and 1 was a six minute mile

    then i did some more ab workouts and a little more leg workouts for about 20 minutes

    would you consider this moderate exercise or hard exercise?

    this will probably only be 1 day a week cause the class is only one day a week

    tomorrow I will probably run about 5 miles and do about 30-45 min of strength training

    wed. i have a soccer game for an hour

    thursday: will be a cardio kickboxing class for an hour then probably run 2 miles, then a hip-hop class
    after i will do strength for 30 min


    fri-sat are usually breaks
    but i might go to a club where i dance for at least 2 hours nonstop and thats gotta be some exercise

    and another day i'll probably go for a 3-5 mile walk

    but overall the weekends are rest days


    the main point is would you considerate my exercise moderate or heavy?

    Do You Lack Motivation to Exercise?

    Carol-Burns.jpg

    One of the best ways to overcome a lack of motivation to exercise, is to find a healthy role model.

    But forget Angelina Jolie, or Hugh Jackman, this is Carol Burns... and she's the real deal!

    So, what's Carol's advice to the slackers amongst us?

    Hey, get off your duff, and get over here and workout... it works for me!

    This was Carol celebrating her 90th birthday at the Curves Gym. Yes, you read that right, she is 90 years old... wow!

    I love Carol's ethos:

    I'll grow old someday, just not today. So, I keep working out, so I don't have to.

    Can you see yourself still working out when you're 90 years old?
