Knee Strengthening Exercises
Strengthen the Muscles
Around Your Knee

The knee strengthening exercises you will find on this page will strengthen the musculature around your knees.

By strengthening and building muscle around the knee area, you provide a stable support system for the knees.

The stronger and larger muscles around the knee will stabilize and support them so you can start using your knees without pain or discomfort.

If you are having knee pain problems, I highly recommend you take a look here. The book at that link helped cure my knee pain!

Here Are The Secrets To Curing Knee Pain Once And For All... Your Knees Will Be Bulletproof With These Knee Strengthening Exercises

If you want to have pain free knees, you have to do several types of 'knee strengthening exercises.' Trust me with this...

I come from a long line of relatives with bad knees. I have literally defied genetics by using the secrets you're about to learn.

You're going to learn EXACTLY what you need to be doing to have healthy, fluid, and pain-free knees. I can't wait for you to feel what it's like to have a pair of knees that no longer bother you at all.

I've been there. It feels great!

If you're willing to implement the plan we're going to layout for you in just a few seconds... we gurantee your knees will feel completely better. You have to work hard on this plan for several months. There are no quick fixes for healthy knees.

Here's the Types of Knee Strengthening Exercises You Must Implement...
Follow This Plan for Pain-Free Knees

We're about to layout a plan for you... a plan that WILL work -- All you have to do is implement this plan and simply DO the knee strengthening exercises.

Your knees are worth a lot to you, right? You don't want to be in a wheelchair later in life, do you? Well then -- you're going to have to work hard to get healthy knees. This plan takes some hard work... so get ready. You MUST start today.

Here's the knee strengthening exercises you'll be doing:

1. Sled Pulling and Dragging

Pulling, dragging, and pushing a sled around is one of the absolute best ways to strengthen the muscles that effect the knee.

My knee pain diminished once I started exercising with a sled. Just wait until you see what it does for you.

Sled exercises are VERY powerful knee strengthening exercises.

2. Mobility Exercises as a Warm Up to Weight Lifting

You must stretch and lengthen the muscles around the knee to become more mobile. You most likely have tight musculature around your knees that pull on your knee joints and ultimately cause knee pain.

You're going to learn how to loosen those muscles up and see what it feels like to have knees that aren't being pulled on all day long.

Mobility exercises are also powerful knee strengthening exercises.

3. 1-Legged Weight Lifting Exercises

You've got to ensure that both legs are strong... many people with knee problems are stronger in one leg than the other.

This strength imbalance causes the other leg to compensate which leads to knee problems. These 1-legged knee strengthening exercises will balance that strength and prevent knee pain.

4. Trigger Point Therapy

Scar tissue builds up in the musculature around the knee. If you have knee pain, you most likely have tons of scar tissue that has slowly built up in the muscles that effect movement of the knee joint.

With trigger point therapy, you're going to learn how to break up that scar tissue and get your knees moving as they should be. This is very powerful and WILL help your knees.

Most people don't consider this one of the powerful knee strengthening exercises but we certainly do... we've witnessed it first hand.

5. Self Myofascial Release

Have you ever heard of a foam roller? When you use a foam roller, you are essentially giving yourself a deep tissue massage for free.

The foam roller helps loosen up the fascia which encases the muscles throughout your body. Fascia loses it's flexibility which causes knee pain... but the foam roller is going to fix that and make the fascia more flexible again.

This takes pressure off the knee joint and cures knee pain -- one of the very powerful knee strengthening exercises.

We're going to give you a plan that uses all 5 of the POWERFUL knee strengthening exercises listed above to turn those knees of yours into 'BulletProof Knees' -- You're going to love your new knees.

Here Are The Tools You Need for
The Plan We're Going to Give You

Here's a list of the tools you're going to need to fix your knees. Yes, these things do cost some money... but your knees are worth the money.

These are tools you need to perform the knee strengthening exercises listed earlier.

I didn't want to spend the money on my knees either, but I knew I didn't want to be in a wheelchair later in life because I didn't want to spend a few hundred dollars to fix them.

And I knew that knee surgery would cost much more than the tools you'll see below... and knee surgery wouldn't even fix the source of my problems.

So think about the risks you are taking by not getting the tools you're going to need below:

1. A Sled and Harness


A sled and harness is required to do the sled exercises.

You'll be dragging and pulling the sled with weight on the sled. You'll also need an ankle strap to pull and drag the sled with one leg at a time.

Plenty of weight plates are also required so you can progressively add weight as you get stronger over the next few months.

2. Magnificent Mobility DVD and Manual


Magnificent Mobility is a DVD and a Manual that I use before every single weight lifting workout that I now do.

I've chosen 7 different exercises from the manual to complete as a warm up before each workout. I rotate new and more difficult mobility exercises into my warm ups often.

This DVD and Manual is a must if you want to get your knees feeling better again. I wish I could give you the information from the manual, but I can't. It's not property of Weight Lifting Complete.

3. Trigger Point Therapy Workbook


The trigger point workbook you see to the left there teaches you how to find the exact soure of the knee pain your are having.

There are all types of different knee pains, and this book will show you how to find yours and fix it!

I've used this workbook many times myself... it's very easy to use. I highly recommend one of these for not only knee pain, but any type of pain.

4. Thera Cane for Trigger Point Therapy


The thera cane is a tool that you'll need to perform trigger point therapy.

On some trigger points you can use your hands or a tennis ball, but the thera cane is something I highly recommend after trying trigger point therapy using different tools.

Your knees will feel better instantly after using this tool.

And this tool will eventually help cure your knee pain once and for all.

5. Foam Roller for Self Myofascial Release


A foam roller is an amazing piece of equipment.

Using it is like getting a deep tissue massage worth hundreds of dollars for absolutely free. I've been using mine now for a few years and it's still going strong. You've got to get one of these.

Now That You Know Exactly What You Need... Let's Talk About How You Fix Your Knees
Once You Have Everything:

You will be working out 3 times per week with the knee strengthening exercises we've mentioned so far. This plan goes well with our specially designed weight lifting workouts in the WLC Program Package.

So, the schedule will be 3 times per week... and you must rest a full day in between workouts. A good schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Friday OR anything similar to that.

If you're using the WLC Program, you will substitute some of the leg exercises with the 1-legged exercises instead.

Here's what you need to be doing 3 times per week:

1. Sled Exercises

You're going to be doing 6 different sled workouts. Three during the first week and three during the second week.

You will then repeat using slightly heavier weights than the previous workout. These workouts rotate in 2-week cycles.

Workout 1: Drag the sled behind you with the harness on for 15 minutes. Start out with light weights.

Workout 2: Use the ankle cuff one leg at a time. Pull the sled -- walk backwards. Split 15 minutes between legs... 7.5 minutes each leg.

Workout 3: Use the ankle cuff and pull the sled one at a time side to side... right leg should come across your body left to right. Split time between legs... 7.5 minutes each leg.

Workout 4: Pull the sled -- walk backwards with the sled out in front of you for 15 minutes.

Workout 5: Use the ankle cuff one leg at a time. Pull the sled -- walk backwards. Split 15 minutes between legs... 7.5 minutes each leg.

Workout 6: Use the ankle cuff and pull the sled one at a time side to side... right leg should come towards your body right to left. Split time between legs... 7.5 minutes each leg.

I recommend you do this workout either in the AM or PM and your weight lifting workout opposite of that. For example, I do the sled workouts first thing in the morning and then lift weights when I get home from work.

2. 1-Legged Knee Strengthening Exercises

As you'll find within the WLC Program Workouts, you'll be working your legs 3 times per week.

If you're having knee problems, you should substitute 1-legged exercises for the two-legged type.

For example, instead of barbell squats, you could do any of the following exercises:

Lunges, Bulgarian Squats, Step Ups, 1-Legged Squats, or any other 1-legged leg exercise that works the quadriceps.

For the hamstring exercise, you should also substitute a legged type...

1-legged romanian deadlifts or cable kicbacks with the ankle cuff will be great for the hamstrings.

Also, only do 1-legged exercises like single leg calf raises for your calves. Sometimes weaknesses in the calves can cause knee problems.

Start out light and work on increasing the weight every workout or making progress in some manner. Only do an exercise if it doesn't hurt your knees.

3. Trigger Point Therapy and Myofascial Release

On the night of your workout days... before you go to bed, you will use the thera cane and foam roller.

Use the thera cane workbook for your specific knee pain. Work on that area. Once you've worked that area pretty well...

Move onto the foam roller. Do both quadriceps, do the inner and outer leg muscles, the IT band along the sides of your legs, both calves front and back, the hamstrings, and the glutes.

Then get some rest. The massage will help you rest even better too.

4. Mobility Exercises

One of the best knee strengthening exercises are the mobility exercises given in the Magnificent Mobility exercises.

Pick about 7 mobility exercises to do before each weight lifting workout. They can be used as a warm up and are actually a better warm up than anything else out there today.

The knee warm up exercises will only take you 10 minutes or so to do before each weight training workout.

A Few Other Items That Aren't Knee Strengthening Exercises That Will
Help Your Knees Feel Better...

We highly recommend TK Knee Bands to wear during your weight lifting workouts and sled exercises.

We also suggest you eat healthy and supplement your diet with healthy fats. Try fish oil and krill oil.

We always recommend a balanced diet jam-packed full of lean protein sources, natural carbohydrates, veggies, and essential fats. A healthy diet is very important to your joints. You should start eating healthier today.

The WLC Program is not just a weight training program... it's a complete program that teaches you everything you need to know about building muscle, burning fat, eating healthy, and getting a body that looks great and feels great.

Diet info is covered extensively within the WLC Program Guide.
