For every kilogram that you’re overweight, your knees absorb about 3,6kg of extra pressure and stress. That’s almost 4 times the weight! How much pressure is going through your knees?
Keeping fit and maintaining a healthy weight with the right exercises has many health benefits beyond caring for your knees. They include:
• Reducing stress on your knees
• Reducing joint inflammation
• Reducing risk of various lifestyle diseases
With the right exercise plan, you can strengthen your knees and lose weight while you do it.
