KNEES PLEASE, YOU'RE HINDERING ME! When will the hurting stop in my KNEES?

Knee or Joint pain can be severe or mild, but neither should be ignored. Torn ligaments, sever swelling, fluid on the knee or knee displacement such as broken bone or knee cap...Such things immediate medical attention not home remedies.....

Things such as twist, strains or falls that cause swelling should be monitored for 48 to 72 hours. If improvements do not occur go to the doctors.

When in your various aerobic classes pay attention to your foot placements when doing movements. Technique will make or BREAK you. Please be mindful how you are turning and placing weight on your joints.

In TaeBo it is very difficult to do the movements flat footed. You MUST pick you feet up, if not you put your knees, ankles, hips and back in jeapardy.....SERIOUSLY....Please remember to pick your feet up.

If you are already suffering from knee aches, pain, soreness or swelling around the that area, you need to take a break from training and contact your physician.

Excessive weight on the knees will limit your activity however, there are stationary equipment you can utilize that are less jarring on the knees you can substitute until you are able to resume classes....Water Aerobics may be the best way to re-enter the aerobic scene because it is less evasive to your joints. The water also serves as resistance to the body as you move it through the water.....

If REST is the recommendation from your physician then this is how I would approach it, which I'm sure you already have heard...TPRICE
