GET STRONGER KNEES

1 Stand with your feet hip distance apart and loop a resistance band around their arches. You can hold a dumbbell or a kettlebell at chest level for extra balance challenge.

2 Inhale and shift your weight so you are standing on your left foot; then exhale and drive your right knee up and hold for a few seconds. You should feel your left glute and right hip flexor (muscles toward the front of the hip) activate.
