all positive decisions begin with exercise

Beware of knee damage. I never had any problem with my knees before I started walking the stairs for exercise.

I dislocated my right knee and tore my ACL 2 years ago playing volleyball...after a year of therapy I can almost jog again (but things like deep knee bends are forever beyond my reach now)... one thing is for sure - going UP the stairs is one hell of alot easier on your knees than going DOWN the stairs... dar512, if you are taking stairs in an office building walk up them and then take an elevator back down... it helps.

Flint - I have been thinking about yoga - how much stress on the joints involved? I know nothing about it.
