Exercises for toning knees that don't hurt?!?

first, you should see a doctor next time your knees or other joints act up. There are blood tests that can check for things such as rheumatoid arthritis, lyme disease, lupus, etc. If your joints get warm and swollen, it could be an autoimmune disease. Rheumatoid arthrities causes destruction to the joints as well as other body tissues and there are medicines that can slow down the process. Some medications can also help you be able to exercise better without all the pain. See a doctor first to find out what the cause is.

How old are you and how long has this problem been going on?

Do the knees also get red when swollen?

Do you have any fevers or flu-like symptoms?

Are other joints sometimes symptomatic?

Any skin rashes or unusual spots?

See a doctor when you get the symptoms so that it will be easier to diagnose. Sometimes they can take a sample of the fluid from your knee if it has a lot of fluid.

Swimming is a good way to exercise if you have arthritis, but also, walking is good. Lunges, squats,and stairs are very hard on the knees.

so far youre on the right track! If you loose weight then youre knees wont be flabby. The pain part should go away in a couple of days and that squeeking noise is what happenes to me too so I do believe thats normal... lol.

But yeah good luck on those "flabby knees"

hope I helped.

I think you should see a doctor. Those aren't normal reactions to the exercises you are doing.

I suggest trying cycling or a stair climber. They are both low impact and are great for toning not only your legs but your behind as well.

But seriously, check out why your knees get hot and swollen before you do permanent damage.

You may have tendenitious....it's just when your tendons swell up and they cause pain. If you take a week off of working out then you might have more variety in your work outs without your knees hurting

Oh and lunges and squats help your thigh muscles....i don't htink you can tone your knee....maybe eat healthier.

For toning KNEES?? Try leg extensions they work the best for me i have similar problems actually...try leg curls and leg extensions definitely you will see a big difference but it wont be 100% pain free some pain is good pain tho so dont think that its going to give you problems

Those very same exercises bother one of my knees also, I find that exercises in the pool are easier on the knees, less impact and less pain... Hope I've helped.

More than likely, yes - they are NOT good for your knees, hips, or ankles for that matter - they are too heavy for any good running. Trade them in for a decent pair of running shoes (same thing as walking shoes).

um well if you work a muscle in your body that isnt used to be worked your going to get pain either way so suggestion is squats

you can just lose weight through non-knee exercise and your knees will look less flabby on their own

Try going up and down stairs.
