My Knee and Sole Pads?

I began excersicing in October last year. I started by just using the eleptical. Now I have lost enough weight where I can run. I am using the treadmill. However, my knee is starting to hurt. It is from an injury when I was a kid. The pain is starting to come back to me.

My question is. I just bought some Dr. Scholl’s pad to make it easier on my knee and joints. Should I keep running like this?

It is the lifeline of my excersice routing. It is what has helped me lose 25 lbs. so far. I have not been able to lose lbs with any other cardio machine.

I, too, used the elliptical. I have/had slipped discs in my back.
I think the elliptical makes it easier on your joints so they aren’t as strong as you’d think. When you run/jog on the treadmill you’re pounding and compressing your weaker joints, causing pain..

If I were you i’d do the treadmill until it began to hurt *unless it hurts continuously* and then do the elliptical for the rest of your work out time, maybe adding resistance.

Also make sure you stretch regularly. It helps relieves pressure over time.
