I've had a torn meniscus for 10 years. It was pain free but I think I need to fix it soon.
I'm currently 41.
Anyway, I've not exercised in a while. My right knee has constant minor pain (noticeable but not real pain). But last time I tried to squat (6 months ago maybe), my right knee hurt to the point where I said screw it, I'm done. And I didn't lift again. Talking 7/10 in pain during warm up sets. About 40% of my max.
I can play roller hockey (a lot of knee loading, especially on one knee at a time), run and play basketball without issue. The knee pain is there at the start but goes away once warmed up. The pain is on the inside of the right knee cap.
Anyway, I want to get back into exercising. I was considering doing upper body weights and running/sports for lower body.
I'm not looking to get ripped. Just add some muscle to be above average again and get my cardio back.
Anyway, can anyone give advice on a program? I could run a mile then do squats. That might work and I might try that out soon.
Planning on starting up again in a week or so. Need to fix other habits first (sleep patterns, etc).
