Purpose:

It often the case that the knees become weak from under use when walking. The purpose is to strengthen one’s knees. To help develop a smooth well-balanced walk.

Approach:

Hold once hands on a table or a bar, or some stable surface. Like the full knee bends, from a standing position, bend the knees to a reasonable degree, perhaps not as full as the regular knee bends. Just as in full Knee Bends, the feet can be close together, or wide, apart, or in between. Try to develop the exercise to achieve a complete knee band.

Notes:

Knee Thrusts and Knee Bends are a powerful exercise to develop the knees and hips so the walk is much more powerful and has real energy. This is an easy exercise, but a good reminder to keep your knees always bent!
