If you’re looking for... | By WeShape | If you want stronger knees, then you gotta strengthen all the muscles around the knee but most people focus on strengthening the quad muscles right here, the muscles of your thighs. They don't focus on the muscles of the lower leg, these muscles on the shin, right? The tibialis anterior and all the muscles that surround it. So, right now, I'm going to show you how to strengthen these muscles that nobody's talking about in a very simple way and when you do this, it is going to strengthen and protect your knees so much more. So, follow along. It's going to feel amazing, right? So, this muscle is the front of your shins. That's what we're feel when we're doing this movement. The best way to start is you bring your feet maybe about a foot off the wall. You press your hold back up against there. I always like to remind people use good posture when you're doing any good movement. So, tall to the top of the head, bring your shoulders back and down. You can even put your hands against the wall that might help out a little bit too there. Then, from there, straighten the legs and then lift your toes towards your nose and then come back down. At the top of every rep, I want you to squeeze both your quads and your shin muscles and you squeeze those shin muscles by lifting your toes as high as you possibly can, alright? And you can do this movement for anywhere between 30 seconds all the way to a couple minutes and if you can do this for, let's call it 2 minutes, right? And you feel a real deep pump in your shins, then you can go to the next variation I'm going to show you right here, okay? The next variation is going to be the same exact thing. You're going to lift the other leg and you're going to do this on one leg this time. So, lift toes to nose, come back down. Lift toes to nose, come back down. Now, that's a significantly harder variation than the two-foot variation. So, if you're new to this, start with both feet on the ground and work on this for a couple of months. You can do this Three days a week for, like I said, anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The goal is to really feel a nice pump in these muscles right here. You're building awareness and mind muscle connection with these muscles as well as strength and endurance in these muscles. After you're able to do it for two minutes and you're able to really bring your toes up real high, then you can shift to one leg and you can start working back up. Trying to do 30 seconds on the left, 30 seconds on the right, and then slowly work up to being able to do two minutes on the left, and two minutes on the right. And here's the deal, when you strengthen the muscles of your shin, it is going to strengthen and support muscles around the knee and it's going to make your knee feel so much better. So, remember this, you're only one move away from feeling better in your body and if your knee hurts, well, then, tip curls are the move for you. Hey, real quick.
