Exercise to Prevent Joint Pain

Stretch & Strengthen Your Knees

Before beginning or modifying any diet or exercise program, talk to your doctor.

To stretch some muscle groups
and to strengthen others:
    1. Lie on the floor or other flat surface with your legs straight.

    2. Straighten your knee completely to tighten the muscle just above your knee. If you are doing this correctly, your heel should come up off the flat surface. Hold for the count of 5 and relax.

To stretch some muscle groups
and to strengthen others:
    1. Sit in a chair and cross your legs above the ankles. Your legs can be either straight or bent.

    2. Push forward with the back leg and backward with the front leg, pressing evenly so that your legs do not move. Hold for 10 seconds and relax.
