Just a bit Frustrated with my Knees

I just finished a run of a show (I basically live on musical theatre lol) and during the week of a show I count my performances as my exercise because of all the dancing and such. Well, today I finally got myself motivated to get up and start Insanity and I couldn't even do the jumping jacks because my knees hurt so bad! I had to give up. I really don't want to wait around for my knees to stop being sore before I get to exercise again. Any ideas of what I can do?

    Talk to a physical therapist. My sister, luckily, is one, and has taught me how to tape my knees so I can function...I can even do squats!!

    I'm in tech week currently for "Pippin" and I feel your pain! Try some aspirin and heating pads along with some medicated pads.
