Follow These 8 Exercises By MOH to Strengthen Your Knees

Knee discomfort, often caused by osteoarthritis, is normal in the elderly (the wearing away of knee cartilage). Fortunately, there are methods to delay and maybe completely avoid knee concerns.

The main defenses to delay your knee from aging are losing weight, increasing the motion range of your knees, and of course, exercise.

The enhancement in muscle strength stabilizes the joint of the knee and lets the muscles withstand the tension that you bring on the knee.

Here are some ways pointed out by MOH (Ministry of Health Malaysia) to help your loyal body support.

The first step is to warm your body up before beginning the exercise. Riding a bike for five minutes or taking a walk for two minutes will do the trick. Of course, stretching beforehand is necessary to avoid after-exercise sores.

Some of the exercises are;

  • Straight Leg Raises
  • Hamstring Curls
  • Prone Straight Leg Raises
  • Wall Squats
  • Calf Raises
  • Step-Up
  • Side Leg Raises
  • Leg Presses

With the quadriceps and hamstrings in the thighs, strengthening should start, but it shouldn’t stop there. Diet and other measures to help with your overall health should not be abandoned just because you exercised!

If you are worried, working with a physical trainer, who will determine your needs and create a reinforcement schedule that is perfect for you, is perfect for you to know for sure what suits you.
