* no hammering as lights turn green or on starting out
yeah, i have to keep reminding myself of this one. I like to get exercise and I like to go fast, but my knees are too weak to deal with mashing every time i stop. Gotta work on putting lighter effort in while starting up and more effort when the pedals are really spinning.
I thought some cross-training, ie, walking, would help.
I find walking can help my joint pain as long as I relax while I walk. Walking with tense muscles makes me feel worse though.
