Knee pain can be a real inconvenience in your daily life. It could be from injuries, or just plain muscle tightness. In fact, regular exercise is a great way to treat and relieve knee pain, no matter what the cause is. Even better, most of these exercises such as knee-strengthening and straight leg raise are not difficult at all. Here are some safety tips before you exercise.
·Wear supportive shoes whenever you’re exercising.
If you have knee pain, then you definitely need extra support. Get good quality running shoes with plenty of cushioning (减震材料). 1 This should keep your knees supported during yourworkouts.
·Warm up with light activities.
If you start working out before your muscles are ready, it could definitely cause knee pain. Always do some light walking or cycling for about 10 minutes before you exercise. 2 You could also do other cardio activities like jumping jacks or jumping rope as a warm-up.

Exercise shouldn’t cause a lot of joint pain. If the pain is getting worse while you’re exercising, then you’re probably pushing your knees too hard. Stop right away before you do any more damage. Try stopping and stretching for a few minutes if your knees start hurting. 4 If the pain comes back, then skip this exercise for today.
·Ice your knees when you finish exercising.
Any exercise could cause some inflammation (炎症) in your knees. When you’re all done working out, wrap an ice pack in a towel and hold it on your knees for 15–20 minutes. 5 You can also ice your knees 3–4 times throughout the day, whether or not you exercised.
A. Start the exercise again slowly.
B. Stop if you feel pain in your knees.
C. Do knee stretches quickly along with exercises.
D. This can get rid of any inflammation in your joints.
E. Make sure they fit you properly and are not too tight.
F. Some good ones include walking, swimming and cycling.
G. This loosens your muscles up and gets them ready for exercise.
·inconvenience n. 不便；麻烦
