After having left hip surgery (I acquired tendonitis), arthritis and sciatica in my back, knee injuries and several different fractures and breaks throughout my lifetime. I now understand that taking an easy or simpler method, does not mean it won’t have the same effects.
While I was in undergraduate school, a doctor once told me that if I didn’t slow down the high impact exercises, I would be in a wheelchair by age 34. I did not take heed of her advice, and I acquired more injuries and by 28 I was unable to walk without the assistance of a walking cane; and unable to jog or run. I was surely on my way to being wheelchair bound, so I decided that I needed to make a drastic change in my life.
I had to stop doing the high impact exercises; and supplement them with modified versions. I found out that the modified versions are just as good and just as beneficial. I would like to share with you these simple yet effective knee exercises. I hope that you find them helpful!
1.) Mini /Modified Squats
2.) Seated Leg Extensions
3.) Standing/Laying Down Leg Curls
4.) Seated Quad Stretch
*All exercises are explained below in the video.
Remember to stay fit & God Bless!
