Hi - when I'm doing certain excersise a like squats and aerobics my knees ankles and hips seem to click - crunch - is this normal? I'm 31, always had clicky joints as far as I remember but working out its much more noticeable

    Me tooo!!! I've had creaky joints for as far back as I can remember....my ankles and my knees, it freaks my husband out. I see it as normal as it's just always been this way. I've always wondered this myself, so thank you for posting this!!!

    Same here. Unless there is pain it happens for a lot of folks. Over time tracking, joint articulation. and lubrication do wear down

    normally cracking is fine as it is just cavitation of the fluids around the joints and is harmless. If you feel pain or something slipping (like your kneecap) then stop exercising and get it checked out by a doctor.
