How to get rid of knee pain

As we neglect the proper care of our bodies we experience pains that hinder our normal day to day activities.

Recently, I've been turning up the notch on my cardio program and I find my knees are getting the brunt end of it. I know I need to foam roll 1st before cardio and then stretch after but I find myself with to little time and so much to do. Squeezing in my workouts is a chore in itself. But neglecting what the body needs is fighting against what I'm trying to achieve when I'm exercising.

Understanding how to get rid of knee pain, made me reflect on how important it is when I train, so I'm not going backwards, instead I'm moving forward and achieving my results. Pain isn't fun! "Stop rushing and do it right the first time", something my mother would always say.
