3 Exercises to Cure Your Knee Pain

3 Exercises to Cure Your Knee Pain

The jury is in: "Bad knees" aren't sidelining your workout; your hips may be the guilty party. According to a review of 28 years' worth of research on common exercise injuries, hip strength is the biggest predictor of knee pain. So grab a resistance band and do these moves daily, working up to 3sets of 10 reps on each side.


Don't forget to add flexibility exercises to your strength training. Stretching helps prevent injury and strengthens joints, especially for those 40 and over.
