I can never get used to any other sports apart from Swimming. Then it's also because i fell down when i was 13~14 on my knee, didn't take care of it and now i can barely walk up the stairs without feeling pain the entire day. T__T

So swimming has always been the go-to sports for me.

i went to see a doctor specialises in sports injuries before. He told me nothing serious, but i might experience early arthritis since didn't take of it before.

Now i'm taking glucosamine already.

ever since i started more exercises. the knee problems have so far been gone for now. *fingers cross*

No wor, i was never overweight. BMI always has been green and perfect.
Last time doctor used to tell me to build muscles. So yeah it's the muscles.

I started with walking, since during MCO the pool was closed. And then I move to some simple aerobic exercises following those from YouTube. Search for knee friendly low impact stuffs. Then now I do cycling, elliptical machines, swimming when the weather allows and a lot of LesMills body combat programs. I still walk, I walk up and down a hill near my house.

I can finally jog/run/ do jumping jacks without worrying that my knee is going to hurt but I still avoid things that will put a lot of impact on my knees. Because these impacts can carry forward to the future, especially when you are old. So yeah.

Yeah invest in good shoes. Horrible shoes make your days horrible.
