So I'm bang in the middle of FB 30 R4 and recently have been experiencing some knee stiffness and some mild pain (mainly left knee). I'm not sure what caused this. Maybe I twisted it while going down the stairs or something. I did a 4/5 lower body workout (with low impact mods) despite some stiffness couple of days back and I woke up with bad knee pain in the middle of the night. Ugh.
So here's the thing: I don't want to stop this program since I've been doing workouts daily and I don't want to break my rhythm. So I wanted to ask, what specific exercises should I avoid if I have knee issues? I'm guessing squats and lunges for sure. Is it okay to do upper body and core exercises while having knee stiffness? Or should I just stop and rest for 3-4 days? Need some advice!
Knee stiffness - What exercises to avoid?
