4 Simple & Beneficial Knee Exercises for All Ages & Fitness Levels: Also Great for Osteoarthritis

By, Beth Foster

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!
