Get Down On Your Knees
A common problem when you are carrying some extra weight is knee pain. I know you understand that carrying extra weight around takes more work, but your knees really suffer. Even a little extra weight triples your chances of developing arthritis. Here’s why. Every extra pound puts five pounds of stress on your knees. So being just 10 pounds overweight is like 50 pounds to your joints. Also, research shows that losing 11 pounds may cut the risk of osteoarthritis of the knee by half.
Losing weight may be a pain but it will eventually reduce even more pain in your knees. Otherwise you don’t have a prayer.
