Here's a question. I have no desire to learn an instrument, so is it still possible to learn enough music theory to reap the mental benefits? As far as running

As far as running goes, my knees don't allow for it.
- Swizec 10y ago> my knees don't allow for it Start slow, buy shoes appropriate for your gait, work on technique. I have bad knees running in the family, had tendon injuries in both of them as a kid too. Used to get a lot of pain when running then I decided to focus on my technique, taking it slow (like, 2 mile runs at 10min/mile cause running longer or faster felt like the death) Now 3 years later I run a 4hr marathon and the only time my knees hurt is when it's time to buy new shoes. And yes, it is a great excuse if you don't actually want to run. My advice is for if you want to but think you can't :) PS: start slow can mean "long leisurely walk" depending on your shape. Tendons and joints need to get used to being used
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoThanks. My right knee does need to have a professional look at it; I've just been putting that off. Same professional tells me I need more exercise (I eat healthy so that helps me not be _too_ bad, though). I see there's some avoidance there now that I'm typing all this. :)
