Knee Pain?

[TubeDude]

[cool][#0000ff]Sounds like you are using muscles and connective tissue in a way you are not used to. As most trainers will advise, you need to strengthen those elements with either more such useage...or find some weight training exercises that will do so.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Most of us tubers and tooners use our fins as described by the previous poster. The power stroke is on the upkick. That is completely opposite of what you do when running or cycling. It is no wonder that your one-dimensionally trained knees are rebelling.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Unless you have some deposits or injuries inside your knees they should improve with more experience. Just don't take on a major excursion while you are getting used to your new hobby.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have been tubing for a whole lotta years...and I do not run or bike. Flip side of your situation. But, I do regularly work out on a little indoor trampoline with a variety of bounces, twists and running in place that help keep my joints and muscles tuned and ready for whatever I ask of them. I am too old and too heavy to take up running without risking injury...or at least premature poopdom.[/#0000ff]
