If you’re someone who’s suffering from knee pain, you may not be exercising properly and the common belief is that someone with bad knees cannot get a good workout as they have been told that high-intensity workouts are something they cannot indulge in. However, health and fitness experts insist that there are a whole lot of low-impact activities that can be done, which not only go easy on your knees but also give you that solid workout.
Working out to maintain a healthy lifestyle is a crucial part of our lives today but this can be a challenge if one suffers from bad or painful knees. Simple activities like walking up and down stairs or getting in and out of a car become difficult when one has chronic knee discomfort.
In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Manan Vora, Sports Medicine Expert and Orthopaedic Surgeon revealed 5 cardio workouts that will help you burn calories without causing additional pain or damage to your knees:
1. Swimming is one of the best workout choices if you have knee pain. The water takes the impact off the rest of your body while allowing you to get a great cardio workout and strengthen the muscles that support the knee. It is a versatile activity and can burn calories very quickly. While swimming you’ll be able to work all major muscle groups in your body including the glutes, chest, and especially the core. However, remember, the knees should not be tensed. Techniques that put stress on the knees, like the frog kick, should be avoided. Also, you can avoid the traditional pre-lap push off the wall.
2. Cycling – Whether you want to cycle outdoors or have a stationary bike at home, whatever may be your preference, this low-impact exercise not just helps to burn calories but will also improve your knee strength and flexibility. You can even add resistance if you wish to do so, start off with low resistance and gradually increase it if you are pain-free. Depending on how fast you ride, you can burn 300-450 calories in 30 minutes.
3. Speed Walking – This will work your upper, mid and lower body muscles. Speed walking is a fast-paced walking activity that is quicker than your typical walking pace. It's not as high impact as jogging but still increases your heart rate substantially. Typically, speed walking is a pace of 15 minutes per mile or faster. Not only is speed walking easier on your knees compared to jogging or running, but picking up the pace while walking pushes your heart rate to a higher zone. This improves your cardiovascular health, lowering your resting heart rate and strengthening your heart.
