I'm a physiotherapist — these are the 3 exercises I'd never skip to keep your knees strong as you age
A physiotherapist shares three exercises to keep knees strong as people age. These exercises are sit-to-stands, step-ups, and another move that helps with balance and stability. By incorporating these exercises into a workout routine, individuals can reduce the risk of knee pain and improve overall mobility.
- ▪Knee pain can limit range of motion, strength, and stability, and can also restrict participation in certain sports and activities.
- ▪Sit-to-stands train primary muscle groups that take the load of the knee joint during everyday movements.
- ▪Step-ups help gain unilateral strength, which is important for fall prevention, especially as people age.
