My knees hurt a lot after jogging, am I doing something wrong?

Rather than slamming your heal with each step trying to roll your heal, or try to impact toward the front of your feet. Doing leg work at the gym and adding muscle will also help the knees.

@Steve42 Surely, I will try. Tank you.

@Neena Those things helped me when I was a distance runner. The idea is avoiding slamming your heal with each step sending the shock up to your knees.

@Steve42 That's a good suggestion. I don't run but I walk nowadays and I put conscious effort not to press my heals first.
