I recently started taking a boxing class, and between two hours of running around the gym, jumping ropes, and bouncing around throwing punches, my knees are really starting to take a beating. My right knee doesn't hurt yet, but it doesn't feel normal, either.
I'm thinking of switching to wearing a running shoe with lots of shock absorbing material in the heel. But, I also think I should look into getting some kind of sports knee brace. I know the Oshman's website lists over 30 of these types of product. Does anybody have any personal experience or advice of a product they can recommend? Either in the category of shoes or knee braces?
I should mention I'm height weight proportionate - 5'5" and 145 lbs. I used to weight all of 115 lbs. in high school, but now I'm 42 and how many of us weight what we used to weight in high school? My point is I'm not 250 lbs putting a huge amount of force on my knees while I'm running.
