How to Exercise Safely With Knee Pain After 40
If you're over 40 and starting to experience knee pain when exercising, you're not alone. At Hitsona Fort Wayne, we work with adults every day who want to get back in shape—but feel held back by sore, stiff, or aching knees.
Whether it’s a twinge during squats, discomfort when walking stairs, or full-on pain after your workout, knee issues can stop you in your tracks—and keep you from moving forward with your fitness goals.
But here’s the truth:
👉 You can still work out safely, get results, and protect your knees—you just need the right approach.
🚨 Why Knee Pain Is Common After 40
As we age, our joints naturally go through wear and tear. Combine that with:
Old injuries
Muscle imbalances
Lack of mobility
Carrying extra weight
And high-impact movements…
…and you’ve got a recipe for joint stress—especially in the knees.
The worst part?
Traditional gyms and workout programs often make it worse.
From lunges to jumping to treadmill pounding, many common exercises put unnecessary strain on the knees—especially for adults 40 and up.
✅ You Don’t Have to Push Through the Pain
Knee pain isn't something to "tough out."
In fact, pushing through it can make things worse—leading to more inflammation, cartilage breakdown, and even long-term joint damage.
What you need is a program that meets your body where it’s at.
That’s where Hitsona Fort Wayne comes in.
💡 Low-Impact, Knee-Friendly Workouts—Without Sacrificing Results
At Hitsona, we’ve designed every session to be joint-friendly—especially for those dealing with knee issues.
Here’s how we help adults over 40 get fit without the knee pain:
🔹 Machine-Based Training That Protects Your Joints
Our resistance machines are built to guide your movements in a safe, controlled way. That means:
No dangerous twisting or bending
No pressure on unstable knees
No impact-based strain like you’d get from jumping or running
You get the benefit of strength training—without the risk.
🔹 Low-Impact Interval Sessions
We combine strength and cardio in short bursts using machines and movements that work for your knees, not against them.
This helps you burn fat, improve stamina, and boost energy—all without grinding your joints.
🔹 Smart Modifications for Real Bodies
Every movement can be adapted to your body’s needs. Whether you’ve had past injuries, arthritis, or just stiff joints—we help you move with confidence.
🔹 Guidance from Coaches Who Get It
You’re never alone. Every session is led by a coach who ensures you’re moving safely and effectively. No guesswork. No ego. Just support.
