This 25-Minute Leg Workout Is Designed For Those With Knee Pain

Dr. Malek explained that standing hamstring curls helps to isolate the hamstring activation — an important factor for knee strength and stability.

• Stand with thighs parallel.
• Slightly tuck the tailbone and squeeze the glute, then bend the knee.
• Return to tap the ground and lift.
• Perform 3 sets of 8, with 30 seconds rest in-between.
• Repeat on the other leg. However, if you want to just strengthen the knee that experiences pain, consider opting for doing that side only.
