creaky knees

[Leslie40]

Sometimes after doing the Power Max workout, my knees creak for the next day walking up and down stairs. I guessed it is a sign of tightness and am working on more stretching afterwards. Should I be worried about it?

Thanks

Les

Hi Les! Here are some suggestions to try to see if you can stop the creaking (which if not accompanied by pain will most likely disappear with one or all of the following suggestions).

1) Try doing a 5 minute additional warm up prior to starting the workout, then do 5 minutes of additional stretching after doing the workout.

2) Only do this particular workout once a week and not prior to or following a leg or step workout.


3) Modify any super high impact or deep bending or squatting movements in the workout.

Good Luck!

Thanks!

I'll try all those things. I have been using the StairMaster first, and I'll bet that was too much.
