I'm a physiotherapist — these are the 3 exercises I'd never skip to keep your knees strong as you age

Physio Rebecca left performing knee assessment on client and right, smiling for camera in the gym.

Knee pain is no joke. At 35, so far, I've just about managed to avoid it, but my stepmom, who was a professional runner when she was younger, has been plagued with it. Not only does it limit the range of motion, strength and stability you have available, but it can also limit the types of sports, exercises and activities you can enjoy.

For that reason, I turned to physiotherapist and co-founder of One Body LDN, Rebecca Bossick, who kindly shared three knee-strengthening exercises she swears by. Check them out below, as well as some benefits and how to do each one step-by-step.
