Struggling with stiff knees? 🦵 Mobility is the key to moving freely and staying active, and this simple exercise is a game-changer ✅ When you practice bending and straightening your knee, you’re not just improving joint mobility—you’re also engaging critical muscles: ✅ Bending: Your hamstrings (back of thighs) work to gently bend the knee, while your calves provide stability. 🙌🏼 Straightening: Your quadriceps (thighs) activate to extend the knee, and holding an isometric contraction strengthens the joint stabilizers. Adding 3 second holds at the end of each movement helps strengthen these muscles without putting stress on the joint, making it perfect for those with arthritis or knee discomfort. 👉 The goal to aim for is 5-10 reps each side ✨ Consistency is the key to unlocking better mobility and less pain. ⚠️ Modify as needed by reducing the range of motion or repetitions. DON’T force your knee into a position it’s not ready for ⚠️
