These knee strengthening exercises don’t require using a lot of weights. If you have some knee pain, you might want to use knee compression sleeves. They can help reduce swelling, pain, and give your knee some compression during the exercises while helping the healing process. In this video, I’m using Titan Compression Sleeves.
The first exercise to help strengthen the knee is a short arc quad (SAQ), this is a great way to get started without doing to much to the knee. It helps strengthen the quad muscles with extend or straighten the knee.
The next knee strengthening exercises are a bridging series including a regular bridge, bridging with a band, and bridging squeezing into a ball. These all are great for the hamstrings, glutes, and surrounding muscles of the knee and hips.
Then you will do a long arc quad (LAQ), this is like the SAQ, but it is a longer arch with works the quad muscles in a bigger range of motion.
The final two exercises for the knee are a squat and a squat with a band. Squats do a great job of strengthen all of the lower leg muscles including hamstrings, quads, glutes, hip flexors, and others.
Improving circulation and blood flow in your legs is important for everyone, but it’s especially important for seniors who might not move as much and for people who sit all day. The simple exercises in this video should help.
Knee pain can be caused by many things. Often a tight quadricep muscle can cause knee pain. My favorite stretch for this area is a quad stretch. It’s great for the knee, hip, and thigh area.

Sore legs are common when starting a new workout program or when exercising a little too hard, especially on leg day. These stretches can help relax sore and tight leg muscles & provide pain relief.
Sciatic nerve pain often comes from tight muscles along its pathway. The hamstrings, IT band, and adductors can all contribute to compressing the sciatic nerve. These stretches might help.
These knee pain relief stretches & exercises don’t necessarily need to be done in bed, but they may help relieve knee pain in the morning before getting up, and/or when going to bed at night.
Doctor Jo shows some simple stretches to help relieve sciatic nerve pain. Some of the best stretches to help get rid of sciatic nerve pain are piriformis stretches.
Varicose veins are caused by weak or damaged walls in the veins and valves. This is a common condition, but they can be painful. These stretches and exercises may help reduce them.
