Send us a textIn this episode of Running to the Castle I’m talking about what to do and what to avoid when doing strength workouts as a runner with knee arthritis.When you’re doing strength workouts and you have knee arthritis, knee osteoarthritis to be more specific (I’m not talking about RA or Gout) there are some positions and movements you want to be mindful of including loading painful knees and the alignment of your knees.Don’t poke the bear, if your knees are really angry (really painful) don’t poke the bear and make them angrier. While they’re flared up back off how much you’re loading through your knees, adjust your exercise program. And when you don’t have flared up knee arthritis watch your knee position as you do your exercises to keep the alignment good to not put too much pressure on the arthritis.I outline how to back way off to allow your knees to heal and tolerate loading again so you can maximize your strength workouts.Listen to this episode to learn where to start, when to back off and how to load your knees enough to build strength without flaring them up.Links mentioned in this episode:Build Your Glutes WorkshopFree Disney Training PlansLearn more about Stronger.
