I usually run on the treadmill, but I hurt my knee while running on it yesterday, and it still hurts. Even though I HATE the elliptical machine, I'm willing to use it because it's bettern than not working out at all.....do you think it would be okay for me to use it with a knee injury??

ellipticalls are much easier on knees.
cycling and treadmills are very hard on knees.
i have had bad knee for a long time and i do cardio on ellipticals and straders.

Yes. You definitely can. I have chronic knee problems, but I can use the elliptical all day long without any pain. I think it's the best cardio for anyone with knee problems.

My eliptical corrected my knee problems. Very low impact. If you feel pain stop.

no, eliptical machines put even more pressure on your knee and you dont want to be out of exercise for 2-4 months trust me i would know. it ruined my perfect cheerleader career
