If your weak knees are causing you pain in everyday life, disrupting your runs or preventing you from achieving a new personal best at the gym, you may need to work on strengthening the muscles surrounding them. These five exercises will do just that; they don’t require any equipment either and will take you the best part of 10 minutes.
The knee is actually the largest joint in the body and plays an important role in supporting the weight of our entire body, hence why we need to keep them strong. Bupa says: “Strengthening exercises for your knees will help to protect your knees and keep the surrounding muscles strong. This will help to prevent injuries and help you recover if you do have a knee injury.” This is particularly essential if you’re someone who does a lot of regular exercise, especially running.
