Thanks for your valuable time.

[@langho5704]

Great demonstrations on these exercises, really helpful showing the correct way of doing a leg workout.

[@Fitfatherproject]

Thank you 👍

[@kysonpablo6733]

A trick: watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@aidengrayson4056]

@Kyson Pablo Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for years myself :D

[@mikeaustin5359]

Thanks Dr. A! Left knee is crunchy and I’m confident if I strengthen my legs the knee will improve. These exercises avoid the deep squat and extension pain! Appreciate the thorough demonstration.

[@Fitfatherproject]

You're very welcome Mike! Here is another exercise that may help you a lot (Lateral step down): kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmaneWytmKypgtk Use a very small box/step... and gradually build up the height as you get stronger. Make sure your hips stay level. I would also suggest you try this exercise barefoot as you can really feel the muscles in your feet activate & contact the ground... which will help your leg muscles activate and stabilize your knee & hip joints. 👍

[@garagegymfitness6516]

Some really great exercises here I really appreciate your extensive demonstrations a few things had never considered ie the partial part of the exercises. Many thanks 👍

[@Fitfatherproject]

You're very welcome 👍

Recovering from hip replacement. In physical therapy but having trouble bending from waist keeping core tight. Trying to build back glutes and leg muscles that are weak. U have so helped me see how to protect my knees that I was starting to have problem with in hip exercises. I never had knee pain before doing exercise for glutes. Thank you for this video. I'm older and small framed and glutes weak cause back pain in doing most hip replacement therapy. These helped. I'll try getting stronger.

Keep up your effort on recovery. You are focusing on the right things and with enough time and consistency you will get back to strength, mobility, and great heath!

Hello Dr. Balduzzi, This video will help me a lot. I have some meniscus problems the doctors say but they mostly feel that "an operation" would help. I don't want that though. So I have been taking it easy and being careful not to strain my knees in any way. I found your video today and I practised some of the exercises as you did them, to see which ones work for me. I can do three of the exercises and if I forget how to do them, I can always watch your video again. Thank you I am very pleased. I miss Fitness so much!! I don't really subcribe to anything, but I will today. I had no pain whatsoever doing your the three exercises. Very nice!

Split squats or Bulgarian squats is the one single thing that got me a knee injury

[@Fitfatherproject]

If that's the case... absolutely avoid those for you. One thing I've noticed from doing them for years is that it's important to make sure that your front foot is FAR ENOUGH FORWARD... so your front knee is NOT tracking/moving over your front toe... it should feel like you're sitting BACK and down into that front glute...

[@samalfellah2066]
