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

"This exercise recruits the entire posterior chain, or the muscles along the back of the body," Dr. Malek said. "It's a great option for including core control and glute strength for the hips."

• Lie on your stomach with arms up by the ears and gently tuck your tailbone.
• Squeeze the glutes to lift the legs and draw your shoulder blades back to raise the arms.
• Aim to lift your ribs, but maintain your gaze at the ground. Avoid arching the back too much.
• Perform 3 sets of 8 reps, with 30 seconds rest in-between.
