Advice#1860

Hi! I just signed up for the Hybrid Calisthenics platform and I’m really excited to get started. I’m 52 years old, but I haven’t exercised regularly for quite some time, and I currently have some pain in my knees. I really want to start training and gradually get stronger, but I need to be careful not to put too much stress on my knees. I would really appreciate any advice on which exercises or modifications you would recommend for someone in my situation. Thank you!

Hey! This is Chrys, one of the trainers at Hybrid Calisthenics. Glad you’re getting started! There’s no rush to jump into the harder variations. Since you’re already having knee pain, I’d check with a physical therapist or medical professional before picking exercises specifically for your knees. In the meantime, don’t push through movements that make it worse. Have you had the knee pain checked out yet?
