Strengthen your knees with these 10 exercises

Are you feeling knee pain while running or hiking? If your downhills aren't as comfortable as your uphills, it's time to include knee-strengthening exercises in your routine to keep your legs strong and healthy. Strengthening the muscles that support your knee, like the quadriceps, hamstring, and glutes, will help absorb the shock and reduce the stress on your knee leading to less pain when running, hiking or walking, says the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
