Will Knee Strength Exercises Make You Fitter?
If you need to get your knees stronger there are a few knee strengthening exercises that are easy to do and will make a huge difference to your fitness
This first exercise is really good for those who suffer from conditions such as chondromalacia patella. That's a roughening of the cartilage underneath the knee cap, sometimes as the result of the bones not sitting properly in the 'V' of the knee joint.
Sit in a chair, back straight but not tensed. Your leg should be bent at 90 degrees, the thigh parallel to the ground, the lower leg vertical. Tense the thigh, hold for 5 seconds then release. Switch legs and repeat. Do 10 reps for each leg. Easy, huh!
Be sure to breathe normally during the exercise.
Another exercise does a little more to build strength in the muscles that control bending at the knee.
Sit in a chair again, then cross your bent legs at the ankle. Push your legs forward with the rear leg then push them back using the front leg. (At first this can seem a little tricky but it is really easy once you get used to it!).
Change over by reversing the direction of the cross. If your left leg was in front, move it to the back and but your right leg in front. Do ten reps for each leg in each position.
How To Get Those Calves Working
Now for something a little more strenuous.
For this next exercise avoid standing on a concrete or metal floor. If your balance is not to good you may be better to do the following exercise on a mat or carpet.
Making sure you are well balanced, stand up straight, toes a little apart, heels together.
Lift you heels so that your a standing on the balls of your feet. Be sure to keep your balance! Hold this position for around 5 seconds. It may help to imagine an invisible piece of string attached to the top of your head pulling you up. Repeat this lifting ten times. As you get stronger and build up the strength in your legs you will be able to increase the length of time you can hold the stance.
To intensify this exercises a little try bending your knees whilst you have your heels raised. By doing this you will also be using the muscles in your quadriceps, hamstrings and buttocks. Remember to straighten your knees then lower your heels. Do ten reps.
Doing these knee strengthening exercises daily or at least a couple of times a week will really improve the strength of your knee. And if you are interested in fitness you will know how important it is to have healthy, strong knees.
