I exercise regularly, but I started including the wall sit exercise in my strength training routine as a hiking exercise to make sure my body could keep up.

Knee pain is something I experience from time to time, especially when walking downhill or running. I think it’s an age problem, but it’s not something I want to get any worse, so I asked my physiotherapist for a knee and leg-strengthening exercise I could easily do at home.
