How to go to the gym to exercise with knee pain?
When your knee hurts, you need to pay special attention to going to the gym to exercise. Here are some suggestions to help you exercise safely when your knee is injured:

1. Warm-up: It is very important to warm up fully before starting any exercise. Warm-up can help you increase blood flow, relax your muscles and prepare yourself for the upcoming exercise. For example, you can start with a relaxing walk and then gradually speed up.

2. Elliptical machine training: If the symptoms of knee pain are not serious, you can use elliptical machine training. Elliptical machine training usually does not cause obvious wear on the knee joint, which can reduce the pressure on the knee joint.

3. Functional exercise of knee joint mobility: Sit at the bedside and stretch the knee joint, or place sandbags at the ankle joint for functional exercise of knee joint flexion. These activities can help you gradually normalize the range of motion of your knee joint.

4. Swimming training: Swimming is a non-load-bearing functional exercise, which has little influence on the knee joint. This can help you improve the muscle strength around the knee joint and relieve the symptoms of knee pain.

Generally speaking, when your knee hurts, you should avoid exercise that will cause stress or discomfort to your knee. On the contrary, we should choose some gentle and low-impact exercise methods to relieve pain and promote rehabilitation. If the pain persists or the symptoms worsen, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time.
