Can there be other exercises that are joint friendly for people that are on the bigger end and are trying to make progress slowly, not all at once?
Absolutely! Joint-friendly exercises are essential for those who are on the bigger end and prefer to progress slowly. Consider low-impact activities like swimming, cycling, or walking, which minimize strain on the joints while still providing an effective workout. Incorporating gentle strength training with resistance bands can also be beneficial. Remember to listen to your body and gradually increase intensity as you build strength and endurance. Establishing a consistent routine with these exercises can lead to lasting healthy habits.
I find that you tube has sit and be fit type exercises that are helpful. Several Facebook contributors like Roman Podgursky trainer does wonderful sitting aerobic activities without a great deal of knee strain or use.
