KNEE ARTHRITIS EXERCISES TO AVOID

If you have knee arthritis, avoiding certain exercises can help prevent pain and protect your joints.

Running puts excessive strain on arthritic knees. Opt for low-impact activities like walking. Joint-friendly exercises are safer for your knees.

High-Impact Running 

Deep squats cause intense knee pressure. Stick to shallow squats for less strain. Focus on knee-friendly strength moves.

Deep Squats 

Lunges 

Lunges can worsen knee pain. Modify lunges to limit joint stress. Choose knee-safe exercises for leg strength.

Avoid jumping exercises like burpees. These movements add unnecessary knee pressure. Switch to gentler cardio alternatives.

Jumping Exercises 

Full kneeling puts weight directly on knees. This can aggravate arthritis. Use alternative positions to avoid stress.

Full Kneeling 

High resistance cycling strains the knees. Keep resistance low to protect joints. Low-intensity cycling is arthritis-friendly.
