Im currently 220lbs and when i use the elliptical i get really sore knees. Is this normal to begin should i just aim for longer every day or should i be doing different exercise with less impact on my knees

    You may have the resistance too high for too long.

    I struggle with my knees as well. A physical therapist might be able to help you. Find one to teach you exercises rather than one that focuses on massaging your knees.
