How fat are you and are you at risk of knee damage?
One of the major causes of osteoarthritis is being overweight or obese. The heavier you are, the more your joints have to bear, especially your knees, hips, and back, which are the main forces supporting your body’s weight. Regular exercise and weight control are therefore important, especially aerobic exercises that help burn energy very well. However, if you are concerned that exercise will harm your joints, you should choose a type of exercise that does not put much burden on your joints, such as swimming, walking in water, walking, or cycling.
