5 Leg Exercises for Arthritic Knees AND Bad Knees

[@pattydesmaisons6611]

I've had both knees replaced (2013) and have been doing these exercises for a few years. They have been presented well in the video and I would recommend anyone with issues to give them a try. Start slow and give yourself a chance to strengthen all those muscles around your joints.

[@FitMotherProject]

Thank you Patty 🙏

[@chinghuichen9503]

How often for these leg exercise? Does it require resting 1-2days? What is maximum benefits in term of how many times per week?

[@chilvilly]

thank you

[@amyplemire]

Wow, these are great! Thanks for the feedback. Struggling with arthritic knees and worried my quads are beginning to atrophy because I can’t do any more exercises at the gym. I’m trying these now!

[@langho5704]

aggravated my knee recently and this video is a blessing, was worried I couldn't train legs anymore

[@wsymphony]

I hope you get better soon.

[@FitMotherProject]

I hope you recover soon Lang Ho 🙏

[@kathym.5676]

Great leg exercise workout. I’m 57 and had arthroscopic surgery on my knee for small meniscus tear 7 weeks ago- looking forward to getting back to running soon. This set will help me achieve that goal. Thanks!

[@FitMotherProject]

You're very welcome Katie! Best luck and a speedy recovery 🙏🏼

[@Sunita-j9v5z]

Thanks a lot. My knees hurt and they started hurting because of squats. I will do these now.

[@MarianRothschild]

Fantastic! Lots of us need this. Could you please do a video on arms and shoulders for people who have shoulder issues? That'd be super!

[@twinkletoes1082]

Definitely going to try these, have found all videos really useful and authentic not like others just trying to get money our of you. Keep up the good work Dr Anthony 😁😁😁

[@kevingreene4399]

So true. Dr. A makes videos for everyone and explains the reason for the exercises and nutrition better than anyone on KZbin. His knowledge likely took years to gain by studying and learning what works. Too many other KZbinrs are just Googling information.

[@FitMotherProject]

Thank you 🙏

[@FitMotherProject]

Thank you Kevin 🙏

[@Archchunafansview]

True

[@FitMotherProject]

[@myfirstrodeo208]

I’m excited watching this because I’ve been doing my lunges partially because I can’t do full one yet. I’ve been doing it right and that excites me. I’m also happy to learn I can do partial squats too. Thanks man. Subbed.

[@kathleenhuld5320]

I love this video. I am thankful I found this. My knees were so painful ❤

[@msbarb1]

I found this video VERY Valuable, these are most of the exercisers my physical therapist gave me to do to help strengthen my knew (now close to bone on bone) they are definitely safe for me, thank you for being authentic in help people like me.

[@FitMotherProject]

Awesome! That makes me very happy to hear 😊

[@kathyfinn5996]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been using your “weight training for women over 50” for months now and love it. Your demos and explanations are wonderful. I have been looking for exercises that I can do on my off days while i am resting from my “knees over toes” workouts Love the idea of targeting my glutes and hamstrings!

[@preciousberbenzana2598]

I will try this doc just saw fluid build ups between muscles around my knee causing pain I can't even do my trampoline exercise so sad. I will do this and hope I recover soon...

[@LiamENGL]

I know this is going to help a ton of people, joint care if ridiculously important so it's nice to see someone put so much emphasis on how to exercise with a less than perfect body.

[@FitMotherProject]

Thank you 👍

[@rayamalam2734]

As a 30 year old who just started her exercise journey and can’t do squats or leg lunges because of weak knees, this seems amazing 🎉 I will try it out.

These exercises are exactly what I've been looking for. I'm 67 and have bone on bone in my left knee which causes me to avoid most leg exercises. Now I can work on getting my legs strong again. How many times per week do you recommend doing these? Thank you!

[@FitMotherProject]

2-3 times per week 👍

I can do the last one. Thank you very much, friend.

[@Reina_bendita]

well done for this video. I have Osteoarthritis of the knee and i happen to be a gym rat. so these are great workout but having osteoarthritis means; do i have to give up doing leg extensions, hack squats, leg press, walking lunges, lunges, reverse lunges, hip thrust and all forms of squat variations? please help me on this as i can't find any professional around me to confirm this. You are saving a life with this help Sir. Best Regards.

[@Reina_bendita]

I'm 29-30 yrs. old

[@FitMotherProject]

Thanks for writing in! You don't necessarily have to give all of them up as it's still possible to lift with arthritis. However, it's all about giving your muscles/joints a proper warm-up to get them ready to handle the load.

[@FitMotherProject]

Hey thanks for writing in! We normally recommend taking a day in between resistance-training exercises so it really depends how heavy you're lifting and what your intensity is like. If keeping it light, it can be performed more often but if pushing yourself, taking a day is recommended. Best of luck! -The FMP Team
