How To Strengthen Your Knees....easy To Do!



Recommended Posts

So a lot of us have bad knees due to the damage we have done because of our weight. A friend of mine had knee surgery and asked him what his PT gave him as exercises. One of them was to stand on one leg for 30 seconds at a time. So I started doing that.....in my elevator where I live! Going up (my right leg goes up-I remember it because I think of an upright piano!). Going down, my left leg goes up. When I first started a month or so ago, it was hard. Now it's easy and I can feel my knees getting better! I live on the 9th floor but as of next week we go to Honolulu and we're on the 20th floor there.....but I'm ready. Anyway, give it try; it's simple but it's helped me. I wrote about this on my blog when I first started but 4-5 weeks later I can tell the difference.

I have bad knees as well and looked up physio exercises on youtube (u can find anything on youtube...lol ) and the exercise was similar but standing on 1 leg then put your other leg out as far as you can to 12 oclock then back then 130 then 3 then 430 and so on all around the imaginary clockface. Then repeat on other leg. These exercises have helped a huge amount with me.....

Thanks Scotty! Good advice....I'll try the clock today; and when I go to the 20th floor I'll really be able to work on that one!
