3 Exercises for Stronger Knees

Knees can be vulnerable to injury in many ways, and when they don’t function properly, they can cause the body to compensate, leading to further issues. These exercises are designed to strengthen your knees, helping to prevent injury and keep you performing at your best.

Forward Heel Touch

Squat one leg while tapping the opposite heel on the ground in front of you. If you'd like to increase the difficulty of this exercise, simply tap your foot further forward (which creates a greater knee bend).

Knee Flexion with Resistance Band

Slowly bring your heel up towards your glutes and then slowly back don to starting position. Please note the resistance bands come in different strengths: low, medium and high. If you have knee pain, try starting with a low-resistance band.

Lunge & Calf Raise

Simply take a big lunge forward, drop down and hold that position. Raise your front hell so that your front foot is on tiptoes, then drop the heel and repeat.

By incorporating these exercises into your routine, you can build strength and stability in your knees, reducing the risk of injury and improving overall performance. Consistency is key—taking proactive steps to support your knee health will help you move with confidence and stay active for the long run.
