Is it me or does everyone’s knees hurt at one time or another? We put stress on those knees as we walk, climb stairs and even get up from a chair. To feel better your thigh muscles need to be strong. Strength training can even help conditions like OSTEOARTHRITIS. But you need to make sure the RIGHT muscle is activated before you progress any strengthening program. This small dose of exercise done frequently can go a long way to reduce your knee pain. I checked with my good friend and knee researcher, Dr. Stephanie DiStasi on this and we agreed that this is an important exercise to get started on a path toward relief of knee pain!

Namaste,

Stephanie
