Hi all,

I have knee problems (they tend to dislocate if strained - ouch) and was wondering if there are general fitness videos out there that go easy on the knees?

Thanks!

    Just bumping in case someone who has an opinion didn't see this. :smile:

    Has your doctor been able to tell you why this happens? Perhaps the first step, if it's due to a muscular imbalance, would be to see a physiotherapist to deal with the knee issues first.

    yeah, it's congenital. I am missing part of the muscle that holds the patella in place. I did get some corrective surgery around 20 years ago but it wasn't a 100% fix.

    My knee does the same thing so if anyone knows a workout that would be great. Mine happens because I was born with a dislocated knee cap and I've blown it at least 6 - 8 times over the years. I can't do squats or lunges because of the pressure they put on my knee. So anything that goes easy on knee but still helps strengthen it would be great.

    Yes! I have been hesitant to do 30 day shred because I've heard it is tough on the knees.

    Good to know! Are there suggested mods or do I have to figure it out on my own? I don't feel qualified... ;)

    there is a modifier for 30 DS but the basics of it is just don't do the moves as deep. I had a couple of knee injuries in high school and since then I have always had a problem with lunges. I don't even begin to try to do the lunges as deep and never do any jumping lunges.
