I have a small problem with my knees. Its painfull to do squats, but I try anyway. I had them exrayed but they didnt find anything wrong. Can you enlighten me on exercises I can do to strengthen my knees other than squats? I weigh 210lbs and 5'5" tall. I am 70lbs overweight this could contribute to my knee pain. My ideal weight is 140lbs how long will it take to lose the weight?

Hi Travelwise:
First, I advise you to get a physical from your doctor to get approval to start an exercise program.
With knee problems- don't be doing heavy weights until you get some weight off. The extra
weight (210), plus doing squats with weights is putting to much presure on the knees.
Start off with non-weight bearing exercises: i.e.- swimmng, bicycling or water aerobics. These exercises will help you to exercise the knees without putting extra stress on them. Next, cut back on what your eating. Diets really don't work so eat healthy foods, in smaller amounts. You will be better off eating four small healthy meals a day than three large unhealthy ones. Smaller meals through out the day will help to jump start your metabolism, which in turn will help burn calories. Burning calories plus the aerobic activity of swimming, biking and/or water aerobics will help burn off the weight. Remember to eat lots of fruit & vegetables as part of your meals and snacks. If you swim &/or bike as an exercise, remember to increase your distances that you swim or bike. Start slowly - swim one or two laps, slowly increasing to six or seven laps, etc. Biking, do the same- start out will a half mile biking ride, slowly increase to 1 mile, a mile & 1/2 then 2 to 3 miles, etc. You should do the exercising daily for at least 20 - 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days per week for at least 6 to 8 weeks. At the 6 to 8 week mark you will start noticing that you are losing weight.
Good Luck & Good Health! Later on, after you start losing weight and get down to a more workable weight, I can set you up with a good weight and resistance training workout.
