Hello, I have a knee injury. Can I replace sprint portions of workouts with spin bike?

Hey Chris 👋🏻 A big welcome!

Please really do consider that Freeletics is not designed for Athletes that may have an injury, something that we have talked about a lot, for example 👇🏻

> [@Body areas to exclude not working?](https://forum.freeletics.com/t/body-areas-to-exclude-not-working/6283/2):

> Heya wave:t2 This “Exclude body area function” is not meant to completely exclude the Coach focus on certain areas, but rather minimise the impact any session will have on those body areas. Regarding this point_up:t2 , please do not continue to use the app if you are injured. The app is really not designed to take in to account body injuries or illness - this is also why we state in our terms that you need to be in a good general state of health to train with the app. You can read about …

Knee injurys can be the absolute worst, so first of all it’s hugely important to get some medical input. Even a lot of the jumping exercises can exacerbate knee injuries.

Having said that, it is something that some Athletes do to switch up their training 👍🏻 I would usually advise to do it for about the same time it would have taken to perform the running sprint. Or another rule of thumb would be to double the distance.

Have a great start to 2024!
