[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has been sidelined with several overuse injuries since age 40, be careful with heavy weights. It is important to use correct form and to gradually work your way toward more weight. And for some of us (I am petite and barely over 100 pounds), I think it is just better to stick with a steady routine using bodyweight exercise, bands, and light weights.[/quote] +1 It's important to consider body type/frame. I'm tall and on the thinner side. When I hurt my knee, my orthopedic doctor was kind but VERY firm with his advice that I was doing the wrong kind of exercises for my age and build. He also strongly recommended not doing lunges with weights or lifting barbells over my head (possible neck problems). [/quote]
