My knees are sore but today is my gym day.

I know jogging is a high impact workout and I've jogged before with no worries but, since Wednesday (I jogged around my neighbourhood for 30 mins) my knees have felt a little sore and made worse by jogging for 45 minutes yesterday on the treadmill. I tried to push through it at the time because I really wanted to get my cardio in but now it's uncomfortable going up stairs.

I have another gym day today and I don't plan on using the treadmill, probably the elliptical or the bike. Will I be okay using them at moderate intensity or should I rest my knees completely?

    I would take a rest day. It's not worth risking injury to try and get one more workout in. Take some ibuprofen, ice your knee and take it easy.

    Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll do that and hope they feel better tomorrow.
