Get told all the time that my knees won’t last, but I’m sure that if I didn’t lose that last 15lbs I would have been far worse off.
I had 70% of the cartilage cut out of one of my knees when I was 17 due to a soccer injury. I’ve since run thousands of kilometres, 7 marathons and a bunch of shorter races with no arthritis issues. No idea how or why, but when I had the op they said I’d never run again.
What causes pain in the back of the knee when jumping rope,no high kicks when jumping
It’s not bad for your joints until it is. There are other, less stressful but equally as effective methods of cardio. For me running just is not worth the risk of injury or the cumulative effects of mileage.
Running was bad for my knees.
I’m 45 years old, I took up running in my early teens. By the age of 19 I had to stop running because I had massive pains in my knees.
I built up my distance so that I was running 50 miles every week without except I always managed the 50 miles per week, around Bristol so loads of up and down hill sections.
I loved wearing Brooks Beast shoes, so I was wearing top of the range shoes for long miles. They are very stable shoes but I had no problems with pronation or anti-pronation. The wear in my shoes was always in the centre of the soul.
I always worked on my technique to smooth out my running and be more economical. As for my weight at that time in my life I was really thin, you could see all of my ribs and I had no belly at all. Just pure thin. But I am tall 6″2 so there is some weight when it comes to being tall.
After I gave up running I took up cycling and then triathlon. But although there was about a years gap between the running and triathlon, my knees were still not good. As a triathlete I could only run once every two weeks for about 4 miles. And my knees were really painful. I was still about to finish in the top 10% of the run sections in triathlons because I still had good technique.
But as a triathlete I was still in massive pain from my knees.
I stopped triathlon when I was about 23 or 24 and the problem of bad knees is still with me to this day as a 45 year old, if I don’t run I’m OK. If I run for a bus my knees will hurt like hell for the rest of the day. When I go hiking I will still feel that sometimes there is a bit of pain, but it’s OK it just feels like somethings not right, but not bad enough for an injury.
I did rock climbing for about 8 years and if I jumped down from the wall my knees would hurt after a long session.
As a cyclist I had to have pedals with maximum float (sideways movement), and when my pedal speed dropped and there was loads of force going through my pedals, then I could feel my knees were not 100%.
I went to the doctor and they were useless. They took an x-ray and said they couldn’t see anything.
Regarding your scientific studies, it seems strange to compare runners to non-runners. If running gives you bad knees you’ll keep going for a couple of years of pain, but then stop. If I was to take part in your scientific study I would be classified as a non-runner because I had to stop running because of my knees. Which means your scientific study would show the wrong result because I would add to the total of non-runners who have bad knees.
Sorry I just don’t believe your video, because of my personal experience.
Perhaps if you don’t do many miles and take things easy then running might not course too much damage and your body can recover, but I did damage my knees from too much running.
hey guys! i am going on vacation soon and we’re getting there through an airplane and i want to still workout with jump rope while i am there and i was wondering if you guys know if i would be able to take the cross rope over flight?
I’m a fat fuck but whenever I start to jog on a regular my knees start to fucking hurt when I sit… I use the elliptical but that machine doesn’t do enough for me to loose weight… I have such a shitty body I can gain weight over EVERYTHING but it’s so hard for my body to burn fat.. gonna give gastric bypass a try and continue to regularly work out maybe that helps.
Great video (as usual), however I am intrigued to get more insight into the “wanted ankle stiffness” point. Do you recommend any articles about that?
Jack lalane always said your body will rust out before it wears out.
20,20,20,20,20=100. Easy to reach 1000/day split and do. Any work out intially will give discomfort. Later u get used to workout and can’t quit. Iam just obssed. Love this jumprope exercise. Love u guys from india.
I hate running (just a personal dislike of the activity,) however, I think problems occur mostly due to poor technique (after all we haven’t evolved to run and land on our heels every step!) and most people have pretty poor nutrition so our bodies can’t replace cartilage like it should (our bodies are not great at replacing cartilage anyway even with good nutrition so don’t compound the problem).
Notes I found “Middle-aged people who like to stay in shape with strenuous exercise such as running could be doing themselves more harm than good.
They are damaging their knee joints, and they are also increasing their chances of developing osteoarthritis, a new study has discovered.
Researchers have been monitoring the health of 236 people 136 women and 100 men aged between 45 and 55, who exercised to some extent. Those who strenuously exercised by running or jumping on a frequent, almost daily, basis had far more damage to their cartilage than those who did low-impact exercise such as cycling or swimming.
(Source: Radiological Society of North America annual meeting, December 1, 2009).” Again, this doesn’t take into nutrition individual genetics and nutrition.
Whoever it is on the opposite side of the table from Rogan is full of shit. Cartilage does not have anything even remotely resembling calusses. Jeez..if you don’t know about something, stop preaching about it
another great vid not just a ‘no’ but the evidence to back it up! keep up the great work!
I’ve tried starting running about a dozen times over the past several years. I usually use the C25K app. After about week 2 or 3 my knee ALWAYS starts hurting when I run. Every time.:/
On the contrary. It’s helps to strengthen the knees. The people who says running is bad for the knees are………….. the non-runners.
Quite a few friends of mine who did soccer developed bad knees and they stopped playing early on.. I’m 50 and still running from my teens still going strong
I’ve had ACL surgery on both knees. I assumed my distance running days were over before they started, but I got into it while losing 50 lbs over the past year. My left knee swelled up at first and hurt for two weeks. I waited until it was better and started again with better form and I don’t have any knee issues.
Running “may” be bad for your knees, but it’s good for your heart.
I’ll take bad knees over a bad heart any day.
Haven’t watched the video. The answer No. It’s not bad for your knees. It’s good for your knees. It’s really good, I know from experince. I can explain my story…, but who cares just take it that it’s good. The more you run every pain in knee goes away!!!
I started running 7 years ago and I had extensive knee surgery done 4 years prior to starting
I had meniscus damage, left with 60% cartilage and 3mm at it thickest after surgery and a 2 1/2” cyst removed from the side of it. All of the damage was caused by my job (construction) and my weight (307 lbs) now 7 years later, 135 lbs less and my knees have never been stronger and my drs are amazed
Sports drs truly understand why this happens so don’t fully trust your GP get a second opinion as running can rebuild not destroy
The statement at 1minute 50secs i disagree with,most athletes I know have regretted running and needed knee replacements and the doctors have told them if they had walked briskly for 2hrs or 10 miles they can lose more body fat and not even use half as much energy
to be fair. I like running. but I am fat, and every step I can feel a big pounding on the knees. I feel if I was lean like a marathon runner, it wouldnt be so bad
It’s funny I currently have a knee injury & I agree with everything you say, although I am off running for a least a month
Hi, I need advice. I started teaching my girlfriend with a skipping rope, but a few years ago she had a knee injured and her knee began to hurt after a longer training session. Do you have any advice which exercises she could do or should she jump at all? Thanks
Cycling is way lighter on your knees, your knees dont carry your bodyweigut when cycling your butt does
This is so stupid. Running isn’t bad for your knees. Keep ya legs strong and healthy and you’ll be fine for the most part.
Hey everyone im haveing issue with jump ropeing
1. I keep catching my right foot even though im keeping my feet together.
2. I feel the rope is hitting to far in front of me even though I’ve adjusted it how JRD say to.
3. My shoulders are getting fatigued and i dont think thats normal,but let me know.
4. My knees and shins and ankles are getting a bit painful could be that i jump on concrete so thats on me.
5.i use a walmart Rope that’s also on me tho.
People I know that run on grass with good shoes have good knees, people I know that run on pavement more often than not have bad knees
I thought Joe was talking to Bill Burr for a minute sounds just like him
A friend of mine who has run a marathon and regularly runs weekly asked me to run with him. I told him I can’t because I was overweight and it would hurt my knees… I got a 15min lecture about how wrong I was, and now I’m on week 6 of the NHS Couch to 5k and not a knee injury in sight.. I have also lost 2 stone in the process..
I do 500-1000 skip jumps daily and sometimes my legs hurts. I researched a bit and found out its called shin splint, I don’t know why its happening but damn it hurts a lot sometimes couldn’t walk.
I started running on the balls of my feet, and it changed everything for the better. Makes sense considering heel striking removes the help of the muscles in your feet and calves now that I think about it.
“Running must be boring”!!! ARGHHH. It’s my peace, space, thinking time, time to myself, chance to challenge myself and so many other things.
So is it jumping on the concrete in my drive way a whole lot (really having fun learning to do this stuff) or doing a PR with back squats causing my knee to hurt? Embrace the power of AND. Looking in to a jump rope map for the drive way. Thanks for the suggestion.
Sometimes my calves hurt when I jump rope. But I think it’s because I jump to often
But I really love your training Videos.
I used to say that knee comment about running until I started running in 2013. No problems, so far, but I’m not an elite just a back of the pack runner! LOL
I rarely stepped on a scale before running and still don’t, but when I do it’s great to see that I need to eat MORE to keep my weight in the correct range for my height and age!
Guy obviously doesn’t know shite that cartilage can regenerate…
Only people that complain about running and knees are non-runners. Stress is an input that your body adapts to. Just like lifting weights. Key is not to stress to failure
I haven’t even started running yet, just mentioned that I am going to once I’ve got my weight down a bit more, an already I’m getting the you will destroy your knees comments!
Thanks guys very good video. BUT, Knees pain can apear if a proper warm up is not done before jumping rope program? I think a tutorial from you with warm up program exclusively for knees would be very very welcome.
Fantastic. I have arthritis in knees, hips etc. I find a really good jump rope technique, aside from just the low level basic step, as shown here, is the alternating foot move. Very low impact, as weight not on both feet when returning to the floor.
Eat a good diet and allow appropriate recovery time… boom! Job done:-)
I find it genuinely funny when people say running is bad for me.
That’s all I’ve got to say on the matter.
Ever been told running’s bad for your knees? What other myths about running do you want to see us look at?
I can answer this no or everyone would have knee problems in the worldno just runners every sport would
Saved yall 10 mins
It’s about moderation. Running 20 miles every day is too much
Selection bias. Only people with good knees turn into ultra marathon runners.
What aboutt the terrain you run?? Is concrete worse than dirt? Track?
Watching a midget and an out of shape ginger talk about what I do is absurd I have ran over 1000 miles this year outside alone. My knees are awesome and I turn 34 this next month you guys dint know your assholes from your elbows. Tiny toe rogan and his dumpsterpump crew of wannabe men.
He is reading as if he is understanding that science stuff all along
I’ve noticed my recent knee injury has been causing problems with my big toe….weird.
Several years ago I implemented all the right steps – I jump regularly 3 days a week for half an hour (HIIT, not steady state) in running shoes, on these rubber mats they have on the playgrounds and I take supplements because weak joints are kind of a family thing for me. The knee pain is now a distant memory, but… I am currently on a three week rest from all exercise but swimming because I got sesamoiditis which I didn’t even know you could get and what it is until I woke up with a balloon foot and a toe that hurt AF.
This has been my wake-up call to finally go to an orthopedist and consult my training because let me tell you – this condition is nothing fun, nor are the meds they give you for it (I feel like they just wiped my stomach lining clean).
So if you folk know you have joint issues and/or you feel jumping rope causes you pain, I’m not saying stop doing it, but PLEASE, BE SMART ABOUT IT AND TALK TO A PROFESSIONAL, before you break a bone, tear a tendon or cause any other damage that will affect you in the future. Just as soon as my doctor clears me, I’m gonna go back to jumping, but this time I will know what I need to do for it to work for me. And I hope you all in JRD nation arrive at that point in your journey one day, too:).
Great video guys. If more people went out and started running then more of these myths about running would be put to bed. ♂️
DPT here. Running is bad for your knees if your doing it wrong. Running correctly takes skill and the heavier or weaker you are, the more skill it takes to reduce risk of injury. It always depends on who you are. Also, if you go from not running for 20 years to running 5 miles, obviously you will get hurt. Honestly, I mainly see non runners and obese individuals say running is bad for your knees.
I started running at 15. I am now a healthy 65 and ran 4 miles this morning at a 10 minute pace and feel great.
I’ve been jumping rope for a few mths without any issues but 2 wk ago I might have overdone it n now my hip n knees hurt. Shld I rest until the pain is all gone or can I slowly start jumping again?
Is there supplements that can help with knee inflammation and joints pain?
I just started and I am up to 1000 skips at 100 a set. My knees are sore today. This is helpful!
Just had a recent knee injury, and it’s almost healed. I wanna start jump roping
I jump rope on the street. I guess I need to use my mat. My knees don’t hurt, but now I’m thinking they may in the long run. Thank you for the rope suggestion and the motivation. I’ve been doing jump rope about a week. I prefer that over the treadmill or running any day. Thank you so much again
I had minor knee issues for a few years due to a motorcycle accident. I took up running a couple of years ago and it has definitely improved. it does play up when my technique gets sloppy though
What about using stem cells when your knees start to get fucked
As a member of this “Running community” we would rather your dumb self not join us mate.
Actually what I hear more from non-runners is something like “I can’t run I have bad knees”.
Well someone doesn’t know how to read research….all this says is the data collected was insufficient to analyse for the purpose you suggested, you need research that compares people who workout the same amount of time but do different activities. Also it focused on one type of knee problem.
Ultra marathon runners don’t weigh much. Thats why they don’t get as fucked up compared to a 120kg american football player…
weren’t people hunters, running long distances to hunt for prey? so theoretically, running should be a natural thing for us, not sitting around and doing nothing, our bodies are made to move
I just started running for first time in my life of 22 years and I am actually enjoying it. I woke up at 5:30 AM and runs till 7:00 AM
Hey Guys, Question: I find running with knee compression wraps/ Ace bandages (like used for weight lifting) helps ease the knee pain. Ok to use???
Hello the running channel! I have a question for you! If my back hurts mid way through a 1.5km run, is it bad for me to run? I don’t seem to have very obvious injuries but I definitely feel pain in my spine. I did stretch before I ran, so I’m not sure what’s causing it! Would appreciate it if you could answer me:) My 3km XC race is in 5days and I’m excited but sad if I would not be able to participate because of my back,
hey guys here’s my workout:
1: 20 pushups * 3 sets ( 2-3 mins rest between each sets)
2: 1 min jump rope * 15 sets ( 30 sec rest between each set )
What i wanna ask is, is this a good workout for beginners?
i am 5’8 and 85 kg. and do this workout atleast 5 days a week.
I think what people like Andrew miss completely, is that humans are virtually evolved to run long distances. If you run correctly, you are built to run.
Overall, you have to have a smooth locomotion. You might run 5 percent slower and use 10 percent more energy, but it’s worth it for non competitive running.
As a new runner, i’m so glad I found your channel. I have learned a lot
Most of the time people get pain their knees cause their running form is bad, I used to get pain on my knees and started watching videos on YouTube on how to run properly. Now I don’t have any pain after running
I’m 6’3 260ish and I’m doing 45 sec on 15 off for 20 min with no knee pain. Jog for 10 min and I’m aching for a week. Chondromalacia in both knees btw.
I would say that most difficulty in running stems from a heel strike. Almost everyone I inconspicuously examine while out running relys overly much on the heel strike with as high a cadence as possible. This brings knee problems with pronation and also will develop shin splints.
But practising a mid-foot strike requires a fair bit of practice. The one rule of thumb would be to consistently raise the ankle behind the runner up to or above the knee, which will ensure that the forefoot, the largest part of the foot with the most area absorbs the stepping contact rather than the heel.
But there are no hard and fast rules, except you may notice the runners that run well all raise that ankle behind above the knee very consistently.
One of the biggest problems I know with runners including my self is not stopping when you have and injury, carrying on training hoping it will go away. Then making it worse and having a longer lay off than if you had of just stopped for a few weeks in the first place.
i am not overweight but i have big legs, long distance jogging doesnt tire me out so much as it just hurts my joints and back.
Anna, what model New Balance leggings are you wearing in this video when you are showing the band exercise?
True reason peoples knees wear out is improper running form. With the rise of padded shoes that absorb impact on the bottom of the foot, proper form stopped feeling natural as before. Have you ever ran hard at the beach and found that your soles hurt from slapping the slightly wet ground? This is because you land on your heels and not your toes. With proper running form, the heel of your foot is not meant to hit the ground. If you watch videos of top sprinters you can see that their heels dont touch the ground each step. Landing only on the front of your foot is overall better because instead of slamming the ground with your heel and taking force in your knee, that force gets stored as potential energy in your achilles tendon, and when your foot leaves the ground the force goes into propelling you forward. This is more efficient for your body, and when you think about is makes more sense for our body to work this way considering all other animals use their “fingers” to move such as dogs and cats
I started running cause I tore my ACL playing football and I can’t play it anymore.
I am naturally good at running, so I ran a half marathon last month and did a 1 hour 40 after just 4 weeks of training. I ran about a 120 miles during training, and everything was fine, but since the race itself I have runner’s knee (in my non ACL injured knee) and I don’t know how to fix it. I feel my running shoes aren’t well cushioned, but I don’t know about biomechanics cause I never had an issue while training.
“Running is super tough on the body” I’m not saying running doesn’t have its benefits but it clearly predisposes people to knee and ankle pain and injury there are other options that have less impact on the body and should be focused on more
Reading is fundamentalmaybe joe shouldn’t have skipped English comp in high school-
I’ve ran many marathons. My knees felt fantastic when I was competing. Now that I no longer run my knees are fucked! Then again, I am 60 pounds heavier.
Yes, in September this year while running through the park an old lady stopped me to tell me exactly that, “if you do all that running you’ll get arthritis” Check out my activity on Strava: https://strava.app.link/ntFEkadVf1
Running is good for your knees if you run correctly and aren’t overweight. Daily exercise is one of the best things to prevent joint issues.
So basically running may or may not fuck you up depending on the individual.
Can i use thick battle ropes to jump rope… cos heavy jump ropes cost a lot. Is there any diffrence i dont need to develop skills or trick. I just need dense muscle and bmi like u guys…
wow joe rogan is so smart, incredible that he knows how to google something and read the first thing he sees. I never knew why he had such a following but now it makes sense: oh wait, it doesn’t make sense at all.
I swear Jamie is like the younger brother you have that comes and hangs out in your room and you tell him to be quite but keeps interrupting
I love how joes asking the running expert of his opinion. Lmao fuck this guy, doesn’t look like he’s ran a day in his life.
I have alot of pain during roping can u tell me how to get rid of this pain
The over-dramatized acting looks a lot like an infomercial….lol. I wonder if anyone driving by wondered if he was ok he feel and grabbed his knee. Nice job.
I have found and been using a CBD infused knee compression sleeve made by hemp symmetry and it is amazing for my knee pain!
bro you are so right about how the sweets can f up your body! damn sucrose and transfat!
Running isn’t bad for your knees. But the way YOU run may be bad for your knees.
350 pound doctor told me I shouldn’t run because it’s bad for my back. Being 150 pounds overweight must be geat on the back.
People who over exert themselves and don’t rest enough have bad knees.
What is bad for the knees is the modern running shoe, I have had injury’s in the past but non in the last 2 years and this is when I went minimalist/barefoot running. I have only been running just over forty years so I have a little bit of experience of the modern running shoe
Man I dont wanna go into it gradually because its so fun and I want to master the boxer skip faster.
But now I must rest because I have overworked
I’ve been doing jump rope for the last 3 months and I love it guys!! Thanks a lot for these videos!! I do it every morning 5 days a week and I’ve lost a lot of fat and now I feel more than a begginer lol, even tho I still am..
5:41 notice how Jamie says this is for NOVICE (meaning beginner) and after a marathon. So yes if you don’t run a lot and then do one of the hardest races on foot you can do, you might experience some problems. Wow would’ve thought. You have to build up your tolerance to running first and work your way up to marathon distance.
Running isn’t bad for your knees. Running INCORRECTLY is bad for your knees.
It is. I have good form that I learned from this channel. Only jumping 2 inches off the ground. If I jump rope for a few days in a row my knee is messed up. Could be because I’m old though. Damn.
I mean it’s not like your knee gonna suddenly burst into smitherens. Just stop when it hurts…
Don’t be dumb folks
Anything done to an extreme isn’t good for you. Look at how most professional athletes end their careers. Most have bad backs or knees because of all the injuries and subsequent surgeries.
Alan Shearer says he still struggles with stairs and he retired more than a decade ago.
When I was recovering from knee injury the only exercise I did was jump rope and body weight squats.
We evolved running and walking. Of course running doesn’t fuck your knees
What about Mayans, and Chileans who ran hundreds of miles to deliver food and supply from of the Andy’s mountains to go top??
I’m putting my money on barefoot running. Utilizes more muscles because you lead with the front of your foot (which works to absorb hard impacts that your heel and knees would otherwise take hits from). Works more muscles from your calves down than a traditional shoe that has a raised heel simply cannot
Cycling is better than running due to little to no impact on your knees
I started walking last autumn because I though I couldn’t run because of my left knee. I just have to have some exercises before summer when the cycling season starts. Then my best friend told me if I could walk the way I do I can run easily. I can easily walk 10-15 km at pace of 6,5+ km/h. I’d like to start running but I don’t know where to start. That’s how I found your channel.
“Fuck you Jamie…”
“Stop complaining Chicago person.”
I love these guys
Be careful doing glutes strengthening because it might turned Nicki Minaj glutes! Like Nicki Minaj Anaconda. I’m just kidding
Novice middle-aged runner here ♀️ no knee issues and I run 7miles a day x 7daw. No excuses.
This guest reminds me of every liberal in an argument. Facts disprove their claims and so the libtards deny the scientific facts have merit. Basically their fact-less opinions trump peer-reviewed scientific studies. Welcome to 2020.
I jump rope daily from when i watched your channel videos and now my friends also started jumping rope by seeing me.. I told them about your channel
Injuries come from bad form. The pros don’t get hurt because they are efficient.
Humans have been running since time immemorial, we are built for long distance running. Humans can not run fast but can outrun any animal with our endurance.
With age and overuse not just cartilage but any part of body can have problems.
Running is not bad for your knees however running with improper form & the wrong shoes is. Most people run at too high an intensity which creates, instead of relieves, stress in the body. Poor diet also contributes to injuries in general and overall health. Running should be approached in a holistic manner, not just as an exerice or way of getting fit / losing weight. Everything we do while we’re not running probably contributes more to our overall health / injuries than the actual running itself. Training = Work + Recovery.
Hello you probably won’t see this but I want to ask you something, I’m training for the army and need to get 2km done in 10 minutes. Currently I’m working on doing 5km run on Mondays, Tuesday I do sprint training, Wednesday I do hill sprint which 0.1 miles long and Thursday I do strength training the rest of the week I work. Is there anything else I could do to help me more to get the time I need
i run 6 days a week, sometimes double run days and in the past have completed over 260km per week in 3 consecutive weeks. i ended up with shin splints, but have never experienced knee trouble

Anna, Kate and Rick guess whose is from The Wall? #bigcoatweather #Anna
I had problems with my right knee from around age 8. It was a little weak and I struggled with any movement that was similar to squats or lunges where it felt like it was going to give way.
I started running around 3 years ago (age 40) and some where around the first year of running the problem just went away.
I assume the running built balance in muscles around the knee that had not been there all those years.
I really love the place you guys are in, my country sucks the roads are completely destroyed even our cars suffer from it lol, i wish one day I live away from the middle east and have a happy life
In the UK we call it ‘skipping’. Does that term not exist in the USA?
Running is not good for your knees lol. My grandfather ran for his entire life and ended up with two knee replacements and can hardly stand for extended periods of time. And no running on hills and elevated terrain still does not strengthen your knees in anyway. Just like any and everything in your body after a certain age its in a constant decline and working against you. The only thing you can do is counteract it and stabilize the decline. Sure muscular development can improve and make you look better but were talking about bones, cartilage and ligaments here.
Running is terrible for knees. That’s why our ancient ancestors ordered delivery when they wanted to eat that wild boar.
Lol, I get told that knee thing all the time, And that I’ll get old and worn out before my time. I have to remind them I’m able to be healthy because I DO run.
Running will make you age faster is the one that irks me a lot can’t be any further from the truth.
What is your qualifications man, please don’t you give your dam opinion on this matter it’s safe and healthy to run people will get diverted from a healthy lifestyle because of you creepy ideas.
Science shows running more than 20mil/30km per week is where people get negative side effects of running
those two guys totally missed the running on your forefoot vs backfoot thing.
my boss is constantly telling me that its bad for my knees and i keep telling him only if you have a bad technique in fact i suffered knee pain for years from an old injury but never had pain since i started running, probably im guessing because the muscles are in better condition
If its done with proper form there you shouldn’t have any problems.
Also even if you’re doing it right
Giving your knees a day off or two will help
Remember that the body needs to recover and adapt.
Its a life style
Just had my gallbladder removed in an emergency procedure. Frigging sucks! Gotta hang up my rope for a few weeks while I recover. In the meantime fellas keep the vids coming!!
I do jump rope every day and 2000 jump ropes in 30 minute.my knees and ankles hurt.not too much but a bit.Also I don’t stretch or do a warm up before and after.what should I do.is this mild knee pain dangerous or it’s fine?I mean the pain is not too much but still I am concerned.
Studies show Joe Rogan doesn’t hang out with people with bad knees
Running is healthy but it is at a cost. I have some friends who are unlike me real runners (they run at least 4 marathons a year, one even 8 a year) and yes after 10-15 yrs of running their knees are fucked.
It is inevitable.
Yet, don’t worry for most occasional joggers and average runners (99 percent of the people here) who don’t grind down those high amounts of miles/km there is no risk.
I am just an average runner (10 to 20K) and do a good amount of weight training and HIIT and this combination is in my opinion much healthier. At least I still got healthy knees.
“Soupcon” ahah… Soupçon (french word) means a small amount of something love from Quebec, Mr. Rogan
If i had a pound for every time someone said “your going to destroy your knees I would be able to afford new knees:o) seriously though a couple of guys in my running got knee trouble, one had to have a new knee at 45 years, he was quite a good club runner and did the London marathon in 2.32 and was running over 100 miles a week, the other was a 2.35 man and ran over a hundred miles a week, he had to have an operation on his knee as he had worn a groove in the knee, I have always tried to run on grass as much as possible and always use good cushioned shoes in training.
When I was a kid, I hurt my knee (about 25 years ago). Assumed I couldn’t run because for years, my attempts to try always resulted in that knee giving out on me and I’d be limping for days or weeks. Fast forward to 3 and a half years ago, I started running on a treadmill for its predictable surface a few times a week. After a few months, I started running outside (beginning with my first 5K race in April of 2016). Since then I’ve had no knee issues. Currently I’m up to averaging about 80K a week and I ran my first marathon a couple weeks ago (might be good enough to meet the 2021 Boston cutoff; we’ll see). And I’ve met a ton of great people along the way in various running groups.
So what is the truth about running vs knee injuries? You just confused us more…
I inadvertently inflicted shin splints on myself because of my work shoes. One time a few years ago I was getting shin pain, and all of my running shoes were not that old, then I suddenly realized, oh wow my work shoes are about two years old. Got new shoes for work, guess what; the pain went away with in about a week. So lesson learned, you have to take into account all the shoes you wear .
I am constantly told by people at work that running is bad for my knees. I run 40-50km a week, I weigh 10st @ 5 ft 10, eat healthily and walk all day at work. They are all overweight and eat bacon and sausage rolls for breakfast every single day. I wonder whose knees will give out first…….
I’m an old git. I’ve run for 38 years, and prior to that was into lots of sports, especially squash, rugby, and fencing. I lived with the thought that one day my knees would wear out…but lived in hope. In all those years it’s almost impossible to avoid injury, and niggles can be regular. Even so I persisted until, over three years ago, I suffered a knee pain. I assumed it was my usual, and that I’d run through it then it would go. It didn’t. I tried everything, from physiotherapy to kinesiology, to chiropractic. Most things, especially physiotherapy, just mad things worse, in one case almost crippling me. I had my knee X-rayed and MRI scanned; nothing there. Eventually I decided to see a knee surgeon at a private hospital, who’d been recommended. He said pretty well everything you say here. He referred to ‘wear and tear’ and said that wear is good but tear is bad, tear being what you get playing squash and basketball (his examples); in other words, injuries. He told me to avoid any physio that directly interfered with the knee, that I should rest it, but also run if it would let me, but without being silly. I should get a bio-mechanical assessment, which I did, and found I’ve been running fairly lopsided all my life. Finally my knee has almost returned to normal, despite exhortations from almost everybody I know (including my inner self), to ‘give it up’. I’m never going to beat any records or trouble Mo Farrah but, my goodness, how pleased I am that I didn’t give in to the ‘knees wear out’ school of thought.
Great video! I’m actually having knee pains now after jumping this past weekend. I definitely fell into a few of these mistakes.
Trump said that he doesn’t exercise and waste energy because “our body has a finite amount of energy for us to use over our lifetime”
I like to do 50 jumps, 5-7sec rest, 50 more then rest with 10 push up. Then I repeat the process for a total of 10 reps. Equals 1,000 jumps and 100 pushups
Great video squad, yip had that sneering comment from mostly couch potatoes and rain on your paraders for years… great advice for them if they want to give running a try though….
The sidebar conversation is distracting, and it isn’t fair for you or us.
If always jump at high and more speed like double under may be cause of shin splints
for the surface, can ijump on asport mattress or an fitness mat? Which is on my normal floor
running for older folks is not recommended due to the stress on your knees. A brisk walk, and swimming are the best overall exercises for all body parts and joints…
Humans were designed to run for long distances (only mammal that can sweat). Humans were not designed to run on concrete and there in lies the problem.
Yep get it said at least once a week that running is bad for the knees. Then they point out how I walk, but they do not understand that it is down to arthritis in both knees. But I am reversing other medical issues/a life time of bad choices by the running. I can put up with the minor pain in the knees for the love of the run
Ultra running is totally different than marathons. You’re usually in the woods not paved, and the number of runners are way smaller so you end up alone most of the race. They do have elimination style races too…. ultras are a good time! Way better than marathons. I RD a 200km ultra in central IL (the temptation 200).:)
I was told by a Dr not to run because I have arthritis in both my knees…. I believe him for years until I did some research on my own. Since starting running I have had much less knee issues than before.
I have a few videos of me doing jump rope too… but no one watches them:(
James, great video as always. Although I have been running for about 8 years I am 62 and have had no knee problems. MY friends who have knee problems tended to play squash or football when younger. However I still get lots of negative comments regarding knee issues. I honestly believe that my moderate running ( I aim for 15 miles a week) actually is helping strengthen my knees. thanks for the video
I’ve been running for over forty years, and throughout that time people (including GPs) have said to me “running wears out your joints”. They’re just saying what they want to hear, supported by the occasional idiotic newspaper revelation…. I’m 60 now. How old do I have to get before people stop warning me that 45 miles a week is wearing out my joints?
Running is amazing!!! It gets you toned, and when you run your goal it’s an amazing feelings! I love this video!!!!!!!!! I feel like every person that tries to stop us runners are just jealous now GO RUN!
Running is not bad for healthy knees, assuming proper form, footwear, and adequate rest days. However, once arthritis has started running makes it worse.
I was in a jump rope challenge 2 weeks ago and after day 3 was in pain/ was jumping on concrete and I hadn’t jumped in years. I also have arthritis in my right knee This video has helped a lot and i will apply the techniques and get bk to jumping today. Thank you. I got invited to another jump rope challenge so I’m ready this time
Way too much background noise definitely a very bad video waste of everything not even informative
After the age of 20, my knees started getting fucked up when I run.
Every lap adds $30 to the pot. Winner gets the pot. Quitter pays the sum
I just started and I just am so happy that having my knee hurt after a few minutes of jump roping is normal
Can you do a clip talking about “Runner’s knee”, where the muscle tightens when you run too much and it causes pain in the knee. Because I have problems with that when i need to be running to keep fit for boxing
I had a PT tell me I couldn’t run anymore because it was bad for my knees. She said I need a new hobby. I chose to get a new PT. I have been pain free for 3 years now 3 straight 1000 mile years.
My stepdad was a marathon runner for decades, and my dad was a track runner who ran 75 miles a week…. and both of them had to get both of their knees replaced in their late 60s. Anecdotal, but ♂️
Guys I am having ankle sprain and it is not going for last 1 month
When I began running at first my knees would ache at odd times during the day, I was going to see a doctor but after a while of running, I don’t feel it anymore.
The was great thank youuuu!! ❤️
After I quit vaping I picked up jump rope to increase my heart and lung capacity it’s my new favourite thing in the world!
i currently am going through a two month knee injury, but this is from a work related accident. So not from running.
Heyy I have really weak ankles! I have injured both my ankles, bone and ligament multiple times. I’d really appreciate if you make a video about ankles and skipping rope.

Awesome videos as always. Shelley has had numerous knee operations when she was younger and was told she would never run and now she is a strong runner with no knee issues I took up running after a knee injury from cycling and also a strong runner with no issues with my knees. Just listen to your body
the worst thing was that 2 PHYSIOTHERAPISTS told me this exact thing. and how I should give up running altogether. ran a half marathon about 3 months later..lol
True reason peoples knees wear out is improper running form. With the rise of padded shoes that absorb impact on the bottom of the foot, proper form stopped feeling natural as before. Have you ever ran hard at the beach and found that your soles hurt from slapping the slightly wet ground? This is because you land on your heels and not your toes. With proper running form, the heel of your foot is not meant to hit the ground. If you watch videos of top sprinters you can see that their heels dont touch the ground each step. Landing only on the front of your foot is overall better because instead of slamming the ground with your heel and taking force in your knee, that force gets stored as potential energy in your achilles tendon, and when your foot leaves the ground the force goes into propelling you forward. This is more efficient for your body, and when you think about is makes more sense for our body to work this way considering all other animals use their “fingers” to move such as dogs and cats
How long do you guys jump rope normally? 30 Minutes? 1 hr?
I normally do 30 minutes, but the back of my right knee gets really tight, even when I stretch every day. What can I do about it?
A lot of people say running is bad for you in order to feel less bad about themselves and the fact they’re unfit in my opinion. Obviously not always the case but I think this is why people say this stuff a lot of the time.
or you can run barefoot and train your feet just like the rest of your body
Knees been killing me so bad I been tossing at night. Honestly started laughing when you brought up the squats. I do a full body workout everytime I go to the gym but cool down with about 30 mins of jump rope. Great vid!
Started with my shins then they stoped hurting now knees l know they will stop too
Being asked if running is ruining my joints is right up their with the number of people who say “Run, Forrest run!” Other than a case of runner’s knee a few years ago and some achey knees after running marathons, I don’t have any problems. I even sometimes run in Vibrams, FYI.
Had a dude in the gym over 50 who used to do marathons and he runs for at least 1 hour on trademill didn’t seem he had problem with knees
Can you do a video about recovering from back injury and how to get back into jumping. My doctor told me i cant do weights anymore cause of my back as i got high chances of getting a herniated disc.
If you you use modern running shoes and Heel strike then yes its very bad for not only your knee but you entire body
It’s the type of microbiome in the gut that contributes to the cartilage decay that and excess weight. Source: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/5326/the-bugs-in-your-gut-could-make-you-weak-in-the-knees.aspx
Imagine how much Nike and other corporations would lose if your average runner discovered that marathons damaged your knee cartilage.
Ugh I get it all the time. It’s the runners equivalent of a vegan being asked where they get their protein from.
That and people being adamant that they’re ‘just not built for running’. Bull pap. Everyone is built for running, it just takes time to get yourself conditioned to it.
I have been in a wheel chair for the past eight years because my knees were shot. I finally soaked an arrow in DMT and shot an elk and have been eating the meat every night after I smoke a joint and use the pso rite now I’m running 10,000 mile ultra marathons and tapping out black belts in jui jitsu
If you want to know what running can do to your knees talk to David Goggins.
When we run, the cyclic movement of the joins stimulate the cells to proliferate and therefore protect the knees! I’ve read that in a study that followed 50,000 runners for 15 years. Run is good for you, no excuses!
Yes, I have been told that many times: “Running is bad for your knees!” LOL! I am feeling much better now knowing that science has shown otherwise!
I love that you ran through different possible ’causes’! Thanks for this video.
I jump rope in in Vibram E-LX on concrete with no issues but I make sure I get a proper bend in my knees and use my bodies natural range of motion for support and I minimize double under’s and lengthened my jumping rope so my body is not landing so vertical. I use the same principle discussed for those that do barefoot running and jump like I am almost doing jump rope form of plyometrics. I have noticed that without a lot of padding(shoes or mats), jumping on hard or semi hard surface almost barefoot I get so many more muscles and activated in my feet, legs and calves; really my whole body. Keep up the great work guys!!!
I ruined my knees while running just in few weeks,I stopped,take months rest,then recovered,never run again. before and after injury I do bicycle 40-100 km a day on workdays,thats some good cardio,running?its need too much skill to do correct,skip running just walking
Sir can you please guide me: Does running for 40 minutes at a normal pace reduces the level of Testostrones??
I don’t have any pain but one of my knees makes a crunching noise (a quick internet search said that it’s something to do with cartilage?). I’d like to get back into jumping rope again as I haven’t done it since I was a kid, but I worry that I could do serious or long-term damage to that knee.
No knee problems when I jump rope but the shin splints are a different story
Who comes up with these stupid crazy theories:D Check stats what is the profile for almost all the knee replacement surgery patients: Runners/athletes WRONG!
Loved the tips. Started jumping rope about 30 days ago and 1 ago I got severe knee pain and had to stop for recovery. I’ll be back doing the thing as soon as I’m feeling better.
I love your videos. I would love it if you could film a full hour follow along jump rope video *with variations. All the videos I have come across are under 30 minutes and even though they are great it would be awesome if you could film a full hour workout routine. Xx ♀️
My knees never hurt when doing jump rope however the only pain I get is in both feet, right across the middle, not sure why though.
Thanks for that rubber mat idea I want to try jump roping outside but scared to on cement I am rookie two weeks in I do use your video help me not to get injured and I use a five min video 30 sec jump ten sec rest helps a lot
As an ‘older runner’, I face your last myth all the time. I started running less than three years ago and, during that time, I’ve had a few injuries, including a fractured leg. This year I ran my first half marathon in March, followed by a Wolf Run and, just after my 60th birthday in September, ran my second half. My family keep telling me to stop now but my doctor wants me to keep running to help combat osteoporosis. I have no intention of stopping whilst I can still run. It’s a complete joy that I’m lucky enough to be able to run and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who thinks they’re too old they are not!
I run 6 KM 13 days out of 14 days. I had knee pain for a few months a number of years ago. That was before I lifted weights. I did a quadricep workout and it fixed it. I suspect I had a muscular imbalance. I haven’t experienced any pain or issues since.
Now I lift weights. Squatting is part of my leg day. I never ever have issues with my legs or any part of my body while running. I’m convinced strength is a good fix.
My dad ran for most of his life until the age of 25, he’s 50 now and his knees are fucked but having said that, my Uncle (his brother) ran for about the same amount and has no knee issues what so ever, similar running style and all.
Me: Runs 80Kms a Month.
Also Me: Watching a video tilted ” Is running bad for your knees”
Just have an above-the-knee amputation and you’re good to go. Don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Not quite agree about hypermobility and stretching ana staying right away. It should be very targeted though and quite often involve massage balls and roller where you can really dig into the muscle. A little unbalance on one side or between main group of muscles and your joint will know all about it. I have tennis and golf ball in my car:)
Hey Dan I just gotta ask you
I am following your workouts for probably a month now and I really see some fat loss results so crudos to you guys…But in addition to that I really am losing my shoulders and arms,what can I do for that!?
For me, it’s all prior injuries that keep me from doing double unders and why my knee hurts after skipping rope. Specifically the front kicks definitely bring out prior injury stuff so I am staying away from them for the time being. Sucks! Have so many things I want to do in life but blowing both knees out keeps me from doing a lot of it. As far as the tricks go, that’s not for me. They don’t impress me for some reason and I feel like it’s a time waster…
i dont agree with this i mean i never heard an animal had a knee problem
Doctors notice skateboarders and snowboarders have the strongest knee ligaments they’ve ever seen.
Running on a hard surface will definitely add more jarring to the leg joints.
Some people will get bad results from the harder jarring, but some will have no effect from it.
Would be more appropriate to run on sand or grass, or just plain earth, but that isn’t possible in some areas/cities.
People or should i say non-runners states that “running is bad for your knees” or ask “doesn’t your knees hurt”. I always respond not at all. Great tips and information in this video.
Such a fantastic, easy to understand, and comprehensive video. Funnily enough, I am currently working on my weak glute med / hip muscles due to PFPS!
So informative. Great advice and a question asked by so many…now answered. Thanks for all your help.
As always,
It depends on the ISA angle. Is the person high pressured or low pressured. And does the person have relative motion or not?
My Shines are sensitive because my spine is pinching nerves of my shines. So running is painful (not impossible but ouch) jumpin rope helps with my cardio 100% people really do over jump. Some friends I introduced too lose weight (They were like nu uh you can’t get a work out) then they sweat like a pig! They did jump high in the beginning and they didn’t even realize it. Helped them fix it and ALSO HYDRATE!!! Talk to a physical therapist and say that joint pain could be because they don’t work out at at and new to work out hurts but lack if water and Good nutrition hurts knees and elbows and back even.
I heard that it would get stressful but I don’t feel any kind of fatigue through out my day
I joined a running team with some friends a few months ago and I really enjoy it, but I’m worried because I have a history of meniscal tears in one knee. I don’t want to deal with another one, so I’ve been afraid to train more often than twice a week. I’d really like to run more frequently though. I’m just concerned about tears more than about arthritis specifically.
Sir actually i am a teenager and my weight is 141 lbs is jumping rope for 5 minutes good for weight lose??
for me no knees pain, but after I done it I feel very tired and that night surely I’m on bed before 9 pm and very ready to sleep
I’m 6’8″ 230. I feel like running has made my lungs better but my joints worse. Thats just me, though.
I’m 20. Did alot of impact sports beginning in high school. Developed knee pain that would act up at random times throughout the day. Made it hard to train. Started running properly, increasing the distance incrementally. I have felt no pain since for months.
Great video! I did assume it’d be bad for my knees in the long run but had been noticing that my knees are fine, no matter how much I run
If u can jump rope after a leg session u r doing something wrong bro
I wish u would make it clear that u still need to push yourself on most days. Do the threshold runs and the Vo2max ans the long run… but accompanied by a slow recovery run. The way u put it here sounds like u got to go slower at all times…
Good vid though… I enjoy the advice
