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]

I’m going to try this!
@SW-User my knees have gotten weak again due to me stopping training for a month.
I got back to work the other week, and was fine utill i had to walk up the hill, and then two large sets of steps ....and oooh, my knee caps were feelin' it😖

I went outside this morning after watching this ....well it was another video on knees and stairs he does - and went up and down my steps a few times.....and wow!
It made a huge difference!

Im definitely going to use this untill i get my leg strength back up to par. (And prolly add im some butt training too this time).

Every little bit helps 🤗
