Anyone need to be delicate with their knees? Open the door the the gym and look around at all the equipment thinking: no, nope, definitely not, no again, and turn around and walk out? Knees are a tricky thing because they take a beating as a primary joint in our bodies - when we walk, the pressure on our knees is about 1.5X the weight of our bodies. Even if you do not have knee problems, it is always a helpful strategy to build muscle around your knees and in your legs to support the knees and keep them healthy and you active as long as possible!
