Getting Stronger

30-Apr-2024
This lower body workout is designed to strengthen the muscles of the hips, thighs, glutes, and lower leg without a lot of repetitive knee bending and mechanical stress. Learn how to feel more comfortable in many lower body exercises such as squats and lunges with this knee-friendly approach.
We will begin with some standing isometrics and single leg balance exercises. Throughout this routine, the priority is to strengthen the muscles that straighten as well as bend the knee with a focus on the hip and ankle joints. Get a great workout minus the constant knee compression. This workout moves at a comfortable pace so that you can feel the muscles that we are trying to target. You will need a chair or support and some dumbbells for resistance.
