3 Exercises that Could Be DAMAGING Your Knees (Ages 50+)

[@YokohamaSapphire]

You are a modern day saint, Will. God bless ❤

[@ciciunteanu7150]

Thank you! After my knee cap broke,I had surgery, twice! Two years later, I am still recovering and your observations are perfectly true. Now I understand what I was doing wrong!❤

[@chrisb7087]

Totally agree with this video. I do reverse lunges because forward lunges are too stressful on the knees.

[@debbiec6216]

how do you do reverse lunges ?

[@Houdini_Bob]

@@debbiec6216 it is last exercise Will talks about, watch the video

[@karenkrevalis555]

@@debbiec6216watch Will’s video. He demonstrates reverse lunges in this video; as the preferred substitute for regular lunges where the leg comes forward and puts the stress on the knee. The leg goes backward and you are working the front leg.

[@HT-Physio]

Great to hear you agree!

[@emh8861]

Ever heard of the knee over toes guy ?

[@visweswararao2012]

Thank you so much Harlow. It feels somebody cares for the Seniors. Extremely useful contribution by you. You are correcting my mistakes & boosting my confidence. I am into high altitude trekking with a 30 years of lower back pain issue & of course, have worn out knees 🙏

[@HT-Physio]

It's my pleasure to be able to share my work with so many others, I'm so pleased it's able to offer support and to boost your confidence. I'm sorry to hear that you have been experiencing back and knee troubles - I hope my videos can offer guidance on how to address these areas!

[@finleykim]

This explains why my knees were so sore after yoga yesterday. Very informative and helpful. Thank Will!

[@HT-Physio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stephbeardsworth6989]

Exercise 2 and 3 still really difficult for knee pain. Thanks for careful explanations. Terrific channel.

[@dorischoo]

Sumo squat

[@lj.3589]

You wouldn't believe the resistance I've had from personal trainers and athletic trainers (U.S.) when I ask to exclude the leg extension machine from all workouts. Even as a healthy high school athlete with strong thighs I could hear the underside of my right patella crackle when doing the leg extension machine. I had very good form. My coaches just dismissed it as normal. I've now had multiple PTs advise against it. I include this entry just to warn some people they may run into those who disagree with taking out the leg extension machine. Trainers may try to talk you into using it. Hold firm. Your body. Your money. Find someone else if you need to. I haven't missed the machine at all.

[@mixedandknot5911]

Grateful

[@Pinnfeathers]

Find a trainer that doesn’t rely on machines. The only machines my personal trainer uses at his gym are treadmills, bicycles, and elliptical machines.

[@michaelbunce6642]

Thank you I'm a older man and the reverse lunge is a wonderful alternative thanks for the heads up you rock 😊

[@TuneTimes-tm2jp]

So pleased I’ve watched this video.. I’ve been doing the leg extension and also forward lunges for rehab… my knee seems to be getting worse (my other knee feels aggravated too) had keyhole surgery last year (2 meniscus tears) I’ll definitely be trying the reverse lunge now and missing out the leg extension. Thank you so much

[@alexandrakaiafa1248]

For this and all your videos, thank you!

[@r2kin2phils]

This is an eye opener. Thank you..

[@enigma9625]

I really needed this. My sore knees keep me from doing a lot of things I still wanted to do.

[@triarb5790]

Since using his suggestions here in HT Physio combined with another great KZbinr, El Paso Physio, each with complimentary and realistic exercises for the over 50s, I have built strength my glutes and leg muscles and have not had a back or knee issue now for 3 years. 😊. Using their guides, I have been working on my grip strength and upper body strength for the past year and am seeing great results too. 😊😊

[@HT-Physio]

So pleased my video came at the right time - wishing you all the best :)

[@alimohamed9408]

Highly beneficial advice. Thank you very much.

[@hamsterama]

I'm in my late 30's, and I recently started going to the gym to get fit and lose weight. I could not figure out why I was feeling knee pain going up and down stairs following leg day at the gym. Thanks to your video, I now know the problem is the leg extension machine. I'm female, 4'11", so my short size probably added to the problem. I already quit doing squats and forward lunges a while ago, because those exercises caused really bad knee pain for me in the days following the exercises. Otherwise, I have zero knee pain. Running, walking, etc,., no problem. Just squats, forward lunges, and, as I know now, gym machines have been causing knee pain. So, going forward, I will skip all the leg machines at the gym just to be safe. For leg day, I'll use loop bands instead. So glad I found your video, because it no doubt prevented future knee problems for me. I don't think this video isn't just for the 50+ plus crowd, it's for anyone who regularly works out and has been experiencing knee pain.

[@mamtashrivastava8024]

Thanks Will I do these exercises and feel pain in my left knee but today I learnt and did all of them as per your guidance, thanks for the video

[@dineshsevak6633]

[@mhouslay7281]

As ever. Super useful and clear. Thanks so much Will. Have great weekend.

[@turkeybowlwinkle4440]

Very good. 10 years ago I was diagnosed with patella arthritis in one knee and leg extensions and lunges definitely made them worse.

[@joancairns9846]

This is so timely for me. I rejoined a club and went on Monday through 16 weight based machines. My poor bone-on-bone knees were really hurting after that and I have been trying to figure which machines to avoid. Knee extension machine is out!! Thank you!!

[@jakireed2084]

Use ice packs on your knees after the workout. It. Helps reduce the inflammation & pain.

[@HT-Physio]

Pleased I was able to shed some light on what you were experiencing - wishing you all the best going forward with your club :)

[@brendastolecki4755]

Start taking HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN, every day. It helps the body rebuild cartilage in all joints. It has helped me. I was painfree in my knees and shoulders...until I got the bulging discs. That is a different kind of pain. I still take it. I am determined to NOT be handicapped by this. I want to travel and be able to walk and sitesee ot hike.

Knee extension machine. Fortunately i had a trainer who told me to never use it. It seemed an unnatural movement to me so i listened to him. Your book is arriving at my house today! Thank you for helping us enjoy movement

[@HT-Physio]

It sounds like you had a good trainer! Thank you for purchasing my book, I really appreciate it - I hope you find it packed full of useful content!

You're my favorite KZbin channel...Thanks!

[@HT-Physio]

[@pbghosh5305]

Now I understand how novice are most of the trainers in gym. Reverse lunge is the one to be most beneficial.

[@1987foxl90]

I had a total knee replacement. The leg extension machine hurts my knee at the knee cap. My physical therapists wouldn’tlisten to me. They are not my therapists anymore. I started doing what you show here and that works so much better. Thanks for posting this video!

[@jackieburns5257]

Even when I do partials, I still get a bit of pain/inflammation.

[@sushiltc8729]

[@jackieburns5257]

I had a similar experience after knee surgery. Rehab had me doing extensions , but I was not able to wall without pai for days.

[@geoff9614]

100% agree with this video. Also I think that some of the problem is people are not doing the exercises properly.I don’t think it’s a good idea to lock out fully on any exercise as it will over time damage your joints

[@mazenkilani]

Informative and immediately useful. I shall avoid 'locked knees' exercises and those with forward momentum (Lunge, Pre-Workout Knee Bend), as I noticed they both cause pain in the knee cap front (patella), which lasts for days!

[@HT-Physio]

I'm glad my video could offer some insight into what you were experiencing!

CONFIRMED! I got a Tibialis bar a month ago and my knees were KILLING me. Contrary, to what I'd been told, the Tib Bar did NOT make the pain subside. I had to stop using the Tib bar. You've just explained why - - caused patella and torn meniscus injury to worsen. I appreciate the verification. Subscribed!

Will, love your channel, which has been so helpful for me. I had a medial meniscus tear, with surgery for it, but my knee has never been the same. I so find that continuing to exercise helps greatly. I also take meloxicam and tylenol extended release in combo during flareups of pain. Ive continued to do yoga since my injury but often wonder if there are poses I shouldnt do that may be aggravating my knee. Do you have any advice on that? One in particular that I wonder about is bow pose, a nice backward bend for the spine, but I worry its pulling my knees in a ba way. Any advice for yoga practitioners?
