]]> When you start a workout plan, you have to pay attention and listen to your body. Creating an excellent form and technique is out of great importance, but it’s even more important to let your body rest. Since we put a lot of pressure on our knees while doing exercises, we have to strengthen them, and here are a few ways to do it.

Foam Rollers

Foam rollers are often used in knee pain recovery. Using a roller on the hip region, and around the knee joint can create a lot of pain at the beginning, but after a few times of using it, you’ll build up a tolerance.

Isometric Hip-Flexion

You can do this exercise by laying down or sitting in a chair. No matter which way you pick, it’s all about building up resistance as you push or lift your legs.

Single-Leg Squats

By doing this exercise you will feel your knees getting stronger and stronger. All pressure is on them, and the knees are doing all the moving, so it’s a great exercise for strengthening them.

]]> Exercising can result in exerting more effort than usual because we’re working on muscle groups for minutes (and even hours on end). This can cause our body to be in a constant state of pressure from the possible weights that we’re lifting not to mention the stress we can put on our knees. About 13% of men and women have knee osteoarthritis even without exercise and this can limit our everyday actions in life. Steven Stuchin an MD Professor says that “Exercise is good therapy for knee pain, but it needs to be the right kind of exercise.” So after your regular exercise, try out these knee stretches to reduce tension in your joints.

Use a Stability Ball

A stability ball is a great idea for stretching your knees since it can release the pressure from your hips and elongate your legs. This can help alleviate knee pressure and even make you more flexible. You’ll certainly be relieved after.

Knee-Friendly Equipment

Make sure to use knee-friendly equipment after your exercise to work on your knees without stressing it out too much. It’s important to take care of your legs and knees. Recumbent stationary bikes or even elliptical machines can be a good way to stretch your knees with a mild workout after an exercise.

]]> After your body went through excruciating pain, working out is the last thing on your mind, but certain exercises can actually help your body heal faster. If your knees are the ones giving you trouble, you can relieve the pain with four easy moves. They will strengthen the muscles that support your knee and keep them flexible.

Leg Raises

No matter which type of leg raises you pick, they’ll be very effective at chasing away your pain. This exercise puts little to no strain on your knee and does an amazing job at strengthening the quadriceps.

Hamstring Stretch

Hamstrings are the muscles along the back of your thigh, and they can be a common source of knee pain. That’s why exercises like hamstring stretches and curls can come in handy when you’re trying to get rid of it.

A little hamstring floss anyone? I’m using a soft Franklin ball under the right side of the pelvis with a yoga strap for the right ball of your foot. The aim is get the muscles, nerves and fascia to glide relative o each other. . 1. Bend and straighten your right leg anchoring it in the hip socket (only go where you feel a mild stretch). 2. Point and flex your ankle. 3. Invert and every your foot using the pull of the straps to facilitate the glide. 4. Option to take the leg across the body to target the ITB. Once finished lower your leg and feel the difference between both sides. . . . #hamstrings #hamstringstretch #myofascialslings #fascia #glide #workshop #rollandrelease #hamstringglides @xtendbarrecoogee

Calf stretch

Strengthening and lengthening calf muscles helps support the back of the knee. You can achieve this goal with calf stretches and raises, but it’s important to avoid hyperextending the knee while you do them.

Half-squat

It’s crucial to keep away from deep bending when you’re experiencing knee pain. That’s why doing squats isn’t recommended, but certain variations can lead to desired results. Partial squats can strengthen your thighs and gluteus, without causing damage to your knees.

]]> First of all, the recovery after a knee injury requires patience and persistence. You need to start slowly, and build up over time. You must strengthen the muscles that support your knee and keep them flexible.

Riding a Bicycle

Riding a bike is a perfect exercise for your problematic knee. You can ride a stationary bike for about 5 minutes in your favorite gym, or you can slowly hit the road with your two-wheeler. Have a ride or two around your neighborhood and repeat the process daily. With time, you can have a longer ride.

Swimming

Swimming is another great way to strengthen the muscles that support your knee. Not only will it help your knee to feel better, but it will have a good effect for your entire body, especially if you have neck or shoulder pain.

“I think I would consider myself a pretty healthy person– going to the gym daily, participating in a workout class once a week, and eating predominantly healthy. I wanted to expand my exercise repertoire and explore swimming but knew it wasn’t an activity I could figure out by myself. I signed up for a few aquatics courses and thought they would be a cake walk. I assumed I would be good at swimming because I was strong and healthy– turns out, I was wrong. Learning how to swim professionally was incredibly hard, which made the experience all the more fulfilling. With the aquatics instructors, I was able to set goals and understand my limits as a swimmer. They made the experience exciting and something I wanted to work at every single day. I was able to expand my workouts and push myself to try something far from what I was used to, thanks to Campus Recreation and their Aquatics Program.” • • • #pennstate #campusrec #aquatics #swimming #findyou #fitness

Wall Sits

Wall sits or wall squats are another great way for a knee rehab. You can do it at home, all you need is a wall. Stand with your back against a wall, and place your feet about two feet out in front of you. Then, bend your knees, slide your back down the wall until your knees are at 90 degree angles. Hold it for max 60 seconds, and then stand up.

WALL SITS: Why do I look like I’m about to drop the hardest album of 2019? 🎤 Anyway, there may come a time in your life where you’re going to find yourself in a room with no chair and you’re really in the mood to sit down (you’re too good to sit on the floor, btw. Respect yourself). If that happens, you better be prepared, and what better way to prepare than to do some wall sits from time to time? Practice. How. You. Play. 💪🏼 Also, it’s a great core workout, and you know I’m all about that #AbsByAugust grind 🏋🏽‍♂️ This has got to be one of the easiest workout to do in terms of equipment, because all you need is a wall. If you can’t find a wall (what, you live in a field or something??) then I guess do some crunches or something. And get yourself a wall. It’s 2019 📆 Also, baseball is BACK, so shoutout to my @padres ⚾ Song of the Day: “Sit Still, Look Pretty” by Daya #wallsits #core #allnikeeverything #vasagang #absbyaugust #friarfaithful #gainz #sufferingfromsuccess
