What are some exercises I can do to strengthen my knees?
I hurt my leg the other day doing yoga, it was horrible. I went to straighten my leg and heard a pop, it was excruciating. My knee got hot as fire, thankfully I managed to get it to stop hurting well except for the back of my knee being tight, anyone know any exercises I can do to strengthen my knees?
You really need a doctor or physiotherapist to decide which part of your knee was damaged, so you can use appropriate exercises. As a generalisation, non weight bearing exercise such as swimming or cycling would probably help. Good luck with your recovery.
Yeah, I agree that sounds different and should be checked out. Get an MRI. Personally, I want to grow more cartilage in there so my knees stay young acting.
Also,it is important for all of us to be near our optimal weight so we don't put excess pressure on our knees and joints.
Yep, definitely get that checked out. You don't want what could be a serious injury to go un-checked by a doctor or therapist. It could then turn into a chronic issue. It's not uncommon for an injury like that to be tight while it's recovering, but you need a professional exam/opinion to be safe. Resistance exercises can improve joint strength and health, but way too many people perform exercises like squats incorrectly, leading to joint problems. Hire a good trainer before you attemmpt anyting like that.

How do I strengthen my shoulders without doing pull ups?I am trying to find exercises I can do at home to build my deltoids. I do not have room or the strength to do pull ups at home. I want an exercise or two that will build my shoulders gradually to the point where I can do pull ups.
