If you suffer from weak or achy knees, which can happen if you run [3], play sports, sit or walk a lot, or lift weights, do these leg-strengthening exercises to get stronger knees. Certified senior Pilates instructor Angelica O [4] shared these 10 moves using a mini band, a small yoga ball, and a block. Strong leg muscles can provide support for the knees, which can alleviate pressure and strain on these joints. This can help relieve pain and help a person be more active, she explained in the caption. Perform two to three sets of five to 10 reps of each exercise. You can do these exercises on their own or as a warmup for another workout. Here's to strong, healthy knees!
