In this learning level workout you will learn how to do exercises for strengthening and stretching for knee pain and knee arthritis. The quadriceps, hamstrings, hip flexors, and calf muscles all need to be taken care of.
Arthritis is a wearing away of cartilage of a joint, which is the cushioning material between bones. Arthritis causes inflammation and irritation of the synovial lining, which produces synovial fluid which helps protect and lubricate the joints.
In the knees, pain and stiffness can occur with arthritis. It limits mobility, and ability to get up and down safely.
These are some strengthening exercises and stretches that can be done to alleviate this pain, and help lubricate the joints and strengthen the entire knee area.
Stay safe, happy and healthy!

I liked the learning level instructions but would love a directed workout flow with the exercises. What do you recommend? Thanks

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Terri! Thank you for the comment! The stretch workouts are great directed routines. I am working on more flow routines from the learning level, so be on the lookout:)

Do you have a longer video for the standing exercises for the knee.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

I do not at this time but will add that to my list of possible future workouts. Thank you!

Do you have a longer version of the sitting one? I work in a Restaurant and stand in my feet a lot and have had Osteoarthritis bring me to my knees😕.

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Kinya! I do not have a seated version, but my stretch routines for the entire body would be great for you!! I hope you try them and they help!!

I have just been diagnosed with right knee arthritis with Lupus and I came across this video which was extremely helpful. I wish this could have done a complete video workout with you doing these exercises. I do indoor cycling and we do a lot of these exercises as a post-ride stretch that I have began to love after watching this video. Can I also do these exercises as a pre-ride stretch as well?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Hi Linda! Thank you for the comment! I will put that on the list, an actual workout of knee stretches. You can do them as a pre-ride stretch if you warm up a little first, and do not get as deep into the stretches as you would after a ride. Keep up the great work! Take care, Meredith

[@lindaj.brooks2365]

@@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith thank you! I tell you those exercises were right on point today. I’m sitting here relaxing with my legs elevated and they feel great 👍

[@beseez]

I have moderate severe knee and hip arthritis. Thanks so much for reaching out. I'm clapping in appreciation that you are doing rides. KUDOS. ♡

Thank you Alka!!

If muscles want to cramp, do you suggest anything different in these movements? I drink alot of water. Example: I work standing all day. Work has us do stretch and flex each morning. Pulling the heel up to stretch and my calf immediately cramps. I modify the stretch at work, and will employ more of your activities at home to help improve my movements. But, the cramping is happens if holding for any length of time. Even when waking up in the morning, stretching before getting out of bed. Thoughts ?

[@SeniorFitnessWithMeredith]

Keep up the stretching and water/electrolytes/potassium for muscle cramping. If a movement is cramping, move it around to activate the muscle so it’s not in a static hold. See how that works for you!
