What about knee joint degeneration?

Experts said: it is not advisable to exercise for the sake of exercise and brush for the sake of brush step, which completely ignores the essence of exercise and brush step. Are you online? Run away? At this time, the cartilage has been quietly damaged. Can you say open? Run away? Brush step mode, first of all your knee cartilage! If you don't pay attention now, maybe in three or five years, your knee joint will be seriously damaged and you can't walk, so you need to change your joint. Then you'll have to pay for your knee!

Of course, this does not mean that you can't exercise by walking. Brisk walking is an excellent aerobic exercise. If people don't insist on exercising since childhood, but give up halfway and love sports, experts suggest that 5000 ~ 6000 steps a day is enough. This view coincides with Professor Zhang Weiya, an expert specializing in Asian orthopedics at Birmingham University in the UK.
