3 BEST Exercises For Strong & Healthy Knees (NO MORE PAIN!)

By rjoachim | March 23, 2024
Squats: This classic exercise strengthens the quadriceps (muscles in the front of your thigh), hamstrings (muscles in the back of your thigh), and glutes (buttocks), all of which are important for knee stability. Aim for proper form: back straight, knees tracking over your toes, and don’t squat lower than parallel to the ground. You can start with bodyweight squats and progress to adding weights as you get stronger.
Wall Sits: This isometric exercise targets your quads without putting stress on your joints. Stand with your back flat against a wall, feet hip-width apart, and slowly slide down until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Hold for 30 seconds to a minute, then slowly stand back up. You can repeat this several times.
Straight Leg Raises: This exercise strengthens your hamstrings, which help to stabilize your knee joint. Lie on your back with one leg straight up in the air. Keep your other leg flat on the floor. Slowly lower the raised leg down towards the ground, but don’t let your knee touch the floor. Hold for a second, then raise your leg back up to the starting position. Repeat 10-12 times on each leg.
Remember, before starting any new exercise program, it’s always a good idea to consult with a doctor or physical therapist, especially if you have any knee pain or injuries. They can help you ensure you’re doing the exercises correctly and safely.
