Hi have a question
-
Erm, got a question. how do i train to strengthen my knees? i feel like my knees are a little weak, and i have a bad sense of balance.
-
Squats done properly(correct knee tracking)
Single leg work such as split squats, lunges, bulgarian squats and slowly progressing to pistols/single legged squats. -
if you are overweight, try to lose some weight, that will help seriously.
Else take more calcium to strengthen the bones.
Last of all, more exercise. -
There are other things besides calcium, like fish oils or glucosamine.
Maybe you could try more knee flexion and knee extension exercises.
Lunges, Bulgarian split squats etc etc.See the stickie "Train movements not muscles" and look at the exercises under knee flexion and knee extension.
Knee Dominant Extension:
Split Squats, Lunges
Knee Dominant Flexion:
Reverse Leg Curl, Slide Board Leg Curl
Mods, if i am wrong in any area.Feel free to correct me.
For Knee Dominant Flexion exercises, look under the profile "Optimumperformance" in youtube for the exercises. -

I feel that if TS's knee is really very weak, he should not train movement too excessively. Otherwise why is it that doctors discourage ppl with weak knee joints from taking the stairs. It is exercise but yet it hurts the joints.Originally posted by Simon Dean:There are other things besides calcium, like fish oils or glucosamine.

On the other hand, if it is just the knee muscles being weak, then yes do the exercises. -
I also have a qn... what exercise/exercise machine is best to get rid of my baby Heineken (about 7mth)Originally posted by dumbdumb!:Erm, got a question. how do i train to strengthen my knees? i feel like my knees are a little weak, and i have a bad sense of balance. -
Actually I would recommend a bit of jogging and HIIT--sprints because both helps in your balancing in another form.
But I dunno how "weak" is his weak. -
if u meant beer belly, it is still full body workoutOriginally posted by AndrewPKYap:I also have a qn... what exercise/exercise machine is best to get rid of my baby Heineken (about 7mth)
No such thing as spot reducing

Good suggestion because you know lah about some people afterwards when legs become strong then complain about arms and elbow......like the leg bone is connected to the thigh bone and the thigh bone is connected to the hip bone and goes on and on....Fpharking sianz so complete work out should do it!Originally posted by eagle:full body workout -
Or do martial arts like Vincent NgOriginally posted by Short Ninja:Good suggestion because you know lah about some people afterwards when legs become strong then complain about arms and elbow......like the leg bone is connected to the thigh bone and the thigh bone is connected to the hip bone and goes on and on....Fpharking sianz so complete work out should do it! -
sure or not? maybe you mean "full body workout" with strenghtening of the Anterior Abdominal Wall Muscles? I thought it has something also to do with the internal organs pushing out? My question really is how to strenghten the Anterior Abdominal Wall Muscles?Originally posted by eagle:if u meant beer belly, it is still full body workout

Sit ups,burpees,leg raises,hold dumbells on your side bend sideways and tightened the abodoment whenever a chiobu is talking to you .I think the last one is the easiest to do unless no chiobu want to even look and you after that chest in stomach out and Yamseng some more!!Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:sure or not? maybe you mean "full body workout" with strenghtening of the Anterior Abdominal Wall Muscles?

Of course I know all these right? But it just refuses to go away. I was hoping you experts have a mi jue, a silver bullet, a divine revelation to share... *sigh* looks like I have to stop feeding my baby Heineken / feed my baby less....
