as i said in my intro all the years of hitting the heavy bag with spinning kicks have taken their toll on my knees{ the shock and the fact your putting so much preasure on your knee joints when you kick will catch up with you later} , so please be careful.....i'm now 52 and also enjoy weight lifting {but never do squats} and took up biking last year, and just love that it doesn't bother my knees.... i don't compete, just ride for fun and fitness,

once again thanks for your reply and i look forward to speaking to you again ...chuck
