Your knees endure remarkable stress during everyday activities. With each step you take, research shows your knee joints absorb forces equivalent to 1.5 times half times your body weight. This impact multiplies significantly when you factor in physical labor, athletic activities, or extra body weight.
Knee problems rank second only to back pain among common musculoskeletal complaints, with joint issues often limiting mobility and diminishing quality of life. Strategically strengthening the muscles surrounding your knees can help prevent cartilage deterioration and even avoid knee replacement surgery down the road.
