what helps hurting knees
Walking is a great exercise to relieve knee pain. Be consistent in walking 6,000 steps a day and wear proper-fitting athletic shoes. Exercise machines that decrease pounding, such as the elliptical or stationary bike, can relieve knee pain.
Locally at the knee, strengthening the quadriceps muscle group can help. Sit on the floor with the painful knee straight and the other knee bent. Keep your back straight, lean forward and hug the bent knee.
