Do your knees hurt ?.....esp on stairs ? Walking long distances?

This guy showed up in my feed.
He over explains - buuut....that's my jam (🤪)

He explains why the hurt is exasperated.... and how to fix it with correct muscle use.

This video doesnt cover stairs, (he has one for that), but after watching a few of his videos on knees, you use the same theory for walking and stairs:
- Feet pointed out
- knees pointed out over toes
- squeeze the corresponding butt cheek on the leg stepping forward, (or up).

It reduces strain on knee tendons/joints/cartilage/etc, coz the quads: (thigh muscles) aren't pulling on them .
(This was new knowledge to me - but makes complete sense)

This dude is all about using correct muscle development to heal joint pain. (The replies in his posts only confirm how good he is).

I just tried it out on my back steps - well bugger me!
Dude knows his shit ![media=https://youtu.be/3ttv66it9x4]

That sounds like a lot of work and constant attention though 😅 If I had to do all that, I couldn't remember where to go at the same time.
@NerdyPotato well you do it repeatedly till it becomes habit.
Train yourself to walk better.

He does say that it takes time and effort to master.

I figured it was good info for those who cant resistance train muscles.

I mean, walking with no pain is pretty valuble🤷‍♀

It did make me laugh tho - i stood there for a bit flexing each side of my butt in turn, for a warm up ....and it was kinda funny 🤣
@OogieBoogie it doesn't work at all on stairs though. My feet are too big to fit on the steps with my toes pointing straight ahead, so I always walk them kinda sideways. It could be worth the effort to pay attention how I walk elsewhere though.

@OogieBoogie I'll have a closer look tomorrow. I don't think this is material suitable for 2 AM after a busy day 😅
@NerdyPotato 😂... no, its prolly not the prime time to be taking in and be receptive to this sort of information.

No wonder youre touchy....go to bed sweetheart🤗

Thats an order ! 👉
@OogieBoogie I'll do soon, I promise 😅
