<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Stay physically fit and maintain a healthy body weight. Those extra pounds add more stress to the knees.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Always stretch and warm up before any exercise, especially running.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">If you're upping the intensity of your workout, do it slowly. A sudden increase in your workout can stress the knees.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Invest in quality shoes with plenty of shock absorption. Make sure they're in good shape and fit well. Use shoe inserts if you have flat feet.</LI>
<li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;">Run in the proper form, leaning forward with the knees bent. Try to run on an even and fairly soft surface.</LI>
