How to protect your knees when jogging?

Jogging has gradually become a national sport in life. Many people like jogging to keep fit and lose weight. Especially for women who want to have a slim figure, they will choose jogging. It does not require money or dieting. In fact, it is very important for us to take good care measures before choosing jogging. In order to prevent damage to your joints and feet during jogging, how can you protect your knees while jogging? Let me introduce it to you.

1. Choose a pair of jogging shoes that suit you. If you weigh more than 90kg, it is best to wear top-quality running shoes. When choosing running shoes, you should also consider your foot shape and choose the ones that suit you. I recommend the boost series from adidas, the nimbus series from ascis, and the creation series from mizuno.

2. The correct running posture mainly depends on whether there is a greater impact on the knees when landing. It is recommended to land on the forefoot first. If you are not used to it, landing with the whole palm is also OK.

3. Strengthen the muscles around the knees. You can often do horse stance exercises against the wall and half squat exercises. This will strengthen the muscle groups around your knees to protect your knees.

4. Don't exercise at too high an intensity, and try to give your body, muscles, and joints sufficient rest time. Generally, it is best to rest for 48 hours after medium to high intensity exercise (scientific research shows that the human body can get the best rest in 48 hours). This rest time mainly depends on your exercise level and intensity.

Pay attention to the above points and I believe that under normal circumstances your knees will not be injured.

In the above article, we learned how to protect the knees while jogging. First of all, it is very important to choose a pair of shoes that suits you during the running process. Knee pads should also be worn, and warm-up exercises should be done before jogging to prevent joint wear during the running process.
