Want that extra kneecap support? Focus on strengthening tendons, ligaments, and especially the VMO. Here's your guide: 🔹 Push your knee forward. 🔹 Keep that back leg straight. 🔹 Ensure knee tracks over your toes. 🔹 Squeeze those glutes on the way down. 🔹 Aim to touch your hamstrings to your calves. Pro Tips🌟: Can't touch your calf with your hamstring? Try elevating the front foot. Introduce weights, but keep them below your center of mass (hip level). As you progress, gradually lower the elevation. Want more challenge? Add overhead weights. The hardest of them all is using a barbell! It's unstable & above your center of mass. ⤵️Looking for ATG training equipment?

No sled? No problem! 🏋️‍♀️ Get your knees in shape without hitting the backwards sle with this awesome hack! Step onto the treadmill while it is turned off, and walk backwards agains it like a boss! 🚶‍♂️🔙 Want to level up the challenge? Strap on thicker resistance bands for that extra burn! 💪🔥 Comment below and let me know how this sled-less adventure feels for your knees!

Are your knees "spicy" after a run or a workout? Or maybe even while you exercise? Listen up, we got you covered. 💪🏃‍♀️ Strengthening the structures around your knee is key to protecting it. By putting your knees in a vulnerable but controlled position, you can strengthen the weak areas. 🏋️‍♂️ Imagine playing sports or falling over and your knees end up in an awkward position. No worries! Your body is strong there, recognizing this position and bouncing back without injury. 💥🦵 Here are the three exercises you need to know: 🔸 The reverse step-up: Target your quadriceps by pushing your knees over your toes. Remember to keep your shoulders above your hips and your hips above your heel. Slowly step down as if walking down the stairs, then explode back up. 🚶‍♀️🔝 🔸 The ATG split squat: Stand with one foot in front of the other and lower yourself down until your back knee touches the ground. Push back up and repeat on the other leg. 🏋️‍♀️✅ 🔸 Try walking backward on a treadmill or sled: This simple exercise improves coordination, balance, and activates the muscles in your feet, lower leg, and quads. 🏃‍♀️🔙 Start with a few reps and gradually increase as you build up your strength. Let me know how you get on! And remember - NEVER work through the pain. 💪❌
