Do you have bad knees? Are you worried about your knee alignment in poses like a full lunge or a deep squat? Or maybe you just want to take better care of your knees? If so, this video is for you.

Maintaining healthy knees is crucial to enjoy an active lifestyle, reduce your risk of injury, and improve mobility. This simple, but effective, five-minute exercise routine in this video can help to strengthen the muscles and stiffen the connective tissues that support your knee joint.

With daily practice, these muscles will strengthen very quickly, but it’s important to remember that while muscle tissue is highly metabolic and can develop in weeks, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage will often require months or more of careful training to build resilience. So, take it slowly, move with care throughout each pose, and listen to your body if you feel any discomfort. Let’s get started!

ANATOMY
Your knee is a synovial hinge joint, which means it likes to open or close, and doesn't like to twist or rotate very much at all.

The muscles surrounding your knees, such as your quadriceps, hamstrings, and gastrocnemius are the big mechanical movers and play a crucial role in stabilizing the joint, in tandem with ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. When it comes to improving knee strength, you need to focus on strengthening this soft tissue complex.
