Bone- On-Bone Knees?

Bone-on-bone knees? You can still build leg strength. Here's how. Hi, I'm Ryan. I've been training seniors for over a decade. If you want more tips like this, make sure to follow me. Now, whether you've got bone-on-bone knees, chronic knee pain, or your knees just hurt when you try to exercise, here's the problem. Weak hamstrings on the back of your legs force your knees to do all the work, which makes the pain worse. Strengthening your hamstrings takes pressure off your knees and it helps you move with less pain. Now, comment "KNEES" that you've been struggling with. If you have resistance tubes, this is the ideal option. With one end of the tube attached to a door or something sturdy, and the other end attached to your ankle, you're drawing your foot or your heel back toward you, feeling the hamstring muscle on the back of your upper leg contract to do all the work. Go slow and controlled. Try to do 10 to 12 on each leg, two times for three sets a week. This is a great exercise for building strength in your hamstrings, taking pressure off your knees, and it even helps with stability and balance. Make sure you save this so you can come back and try both exercises. No resistance tube problem. You can do this next one lying in a bed or on a couch. First, lie on your back, bend your knees a little, and press your heels down as hard as you can until your rear lifts up. Hold that position for eight to 10 seconds. You should really feel the hamstrings working on the back of your legs. That's one rep. Now try to do three or four holds per leg for two sets, three times a week. This is great for building strength without any movement at the knee joints, which produces zero friction and zero pain. Perfect for bone-on-bone knees. So that's how you build leg strength even when you have bone-on-bone knees. Now comment "KNEES" if you're gonna try these today and share this with someone whose knees are holding them back from staying active.
