Question : Hi Team,
I am going to gym since 2 weeks. I do a Cardio on a thread mill with a speed of 9KMPH for about 30 min.

Will doing these kind of heavy cardio effects my knees in a long run?
Please advise.

No, heavy cardio or regular cardio workout will strengthen your joints as it does to your muscles.

It strengthen the bones by increasing the calcium incorporation into them.
