Because some sports involving running test our knees, if we don't pay attention to our knees when running, the pressure on our knees will be particularly great, resulting in knee injuries.
However, if we still want to do some exercise to help us lose weight, we can choose these three kinds of exercise to help us lose weight.
First of all, swimming
Generally speaking, people who like swimming are not very fat, because swimming consumes a lot of energy for our bodies, that is to say, our bodies consume a lot of energy during swimming.
What we need to know is that swimming is a very helpful exercise for us to lose weight and fat, and our knees are basically free from any pressure when swimming.
So swimming is very suitable for people with bad knees who want to lose weight. To some extent, swimming is also an aerobic exercise.
Generally speaking, we can't do too short or too long aerobic exercise, and swimming is the same. We swim for about an hour at a time, and we have already had a good effect of losing weight and fat.
Second, all kinds of aerobic exercise equipment.
What we need to know is that in the gym, there are not only treadmills, but also many other aerobic equipment, such as rowing machines, stairs and elliptical machines, stationary bicycles and so on.
Generally speaking, these aerobic devices exert different pressures on our knees. We can try every kind of equipment, and then feel for ourselves which equipment can be used for exercise, if it is comfortable and does not hurt our knees.
When we train these aerobic exercise equipment, we should pay attention to the standard movements and not do them at will, otherwise it will not only have no training effect, but also cause certain harm to the body.
What we need to know is that no matter what aerobic exercise we do, we should pay attention to one thing, that is, to hold our heads up, chest out and abdomen in order to keep our backs straight.
Third, the strength training of upper limb muscles
First of all, we need to know that not only aerobic exercise can help us lose weight, but also general anaerobic strength training can help us achieve the goal of losing weight.
For many people with bad knees, we don't need to do squat and other lower limb muscle strength training. We'd better do some muscle strength training of upper limbs, such as intensive training of arms or chest muscles.
Generally speaking, you can do some training actions such as barbell bench press or barbell press. When we do these training movements, we also need to standardize them, otherwise it will be difficult to have training effects.
Take barbell horizontal pushing as an example. When we do this action, don't use too much training weight at the beginning of learning. We should get familiar with this action gradually. When doing this action, be sure to tighten the core.
In other words, when we do barbell bench press, don't shake our body at will, just let our arms move, otherwise it will affect our training effect.
