wah lao, then what kind of exercise is recommended if my knee gives way?Originally posted by Rhonda:People who listen to me know that I've been saying this forever - that each time you run / jog, when your foot hits the ground, your knees and ankles and foot are absorbing up to 4X your body weight!!
So if you're 70kgs, that means 280kgs of impact absorbed!
Extrapolate that to the no. of rounds you do a week and the no. of years you've been running / jogging and ... I guess you get my drift!

Noooo!! Glucosamine is not glucose. Glucosamine is a supplement that's good for joint health. I think it helps to kinda augment the lubrication mechanism in our joints.Originally posted by kopiosatu:that's not glucose, the kind my mother makes with powder rite? -

Low Impact, Weight-Bearing. But you can no longer luan luan lai. For instance, you can do weights in the gym, but you must do it slow and controlled, not jerky movements, like some idiots do.Originally posted by kopiosatu:wah lao, then what kind of exercise is recommended if my knee gives way? And you must take caution on how heavy the weights are and especially the right posture.
If your knee is that badly injured, best to work with a physiotherapist to work out a reasonable exercise regime without doing further damage. -
Then what about that hike I took just now through?Originally posted by Rhonda:You are very very evil to your poor knees and ankles!
I am an evil, evil coyote.

Not if the knee gives way!! At least not so soon!
If the knee is really in a bad state, the physio will do seemingly 'boring' exercises with you to augment the knee to keep it supple without causing further injury.
Your gait might have to be assessed to make sure that when you walk, you don't land too hard on your heels and 'pound' your knee.
Stuff like that. -
I think a hike is a much better option than jogging, really.Originally posted by fudgester:Then what about that hike I took just now through?

goodnight... everyone..
anyway walking right is almost no impact...
cycling also

i had to undergo physio for 8 months to help my knee recover.
ended up with a much stronger right knee, and quite weak left knee. -
Usually, physio will ask you to work on the other knee too! What happened? -
G'nite!! Long day tomorrow! Sleep tight, everyone!

not sure, i think most of the time my right side is doing more work.Originally posted by Rhonda:

like the machine where both ur feet place on the platform, legs slightly bend and ur expected to push it forward. maybe my right knee contributes like 75% of the power..
same thing when i went to do muay thai, my instructor was laughing at me for being only able to kick on 1 leg. -
Swimming. Best for any joints.

You tried the Ramly Burgers at KTM?Originally posted by fudgester:The only Ramly burgers worth eating are those in Malaysia itself.
The Ramly vendors in SG cook their burgers with no heart.... they pre-cook the patties and reheat them for their customers. What a travesty!
