2 quick exercises to strengthen the quads: seated+ standing options

Stronger thighs support the joints ✅

Stronger thighs (quadriceps) will also make your life much easier as far as getting around. Stronger thighs can also help to prevent injury and pain 🙌🏼

Here are two suggestions that can increase quadriceps strength. The quadriceps muscles help to straighten your knee. Keep that in mind during these exercises ☝🏽

There are tons of different ways to strengthen these muscles including seated and standing variations.

For the step up, I do prefer a smaller step stool like the one I am using especially if you have knee pain and/or don’t have a lot of leg strength 👀

The key is making sure these exercises feel good!

Aiming for every other day, 2-3 sets of the option that works best can be a great place to start for most 🎉

Modify as needed ⚠️
