knee, general safety, books, tips?
Hello,
I am somewhat new to this community and very new to fitness and fitness videos in general, and I was hoping I could get some feedback here. I have been having slight knee pain during (but not so much after) my workouts. I am thinking it is because my foot placement during some activities like lunges could be incorrect. my knee doesnt go past my toes, but I think my foot position/angle might be adding some strange torque to my knee. I will go to a doc or personal trainer, if this persists, but in the meantime i want to see what i can figure out before hand. So does anyone have any tips regarding this, and even any other common safety mistakes during workout? or can recommend a good book that details this kind of info? I am thinking there must be a list of common mistakes and how to correct them somewhere. I have only just just started working out with some tapes I have; A general description of where I am right now is at http://205.214.68.83/vbulletin/showt...threadid=21250 thanks much in advance, gaki

I have a book recommendation.
I'm sure KarenP will have some as well, but I've found this one to be very helpful:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846 There's one very negative review you should read, because I think it has validity, but I still find this book helpful and easy to use. And my physical therapist was impressed when I brought it along to a session. Of course I was able to annotate it with her suggestions to make it even more useful...
