Don’t just focus on your knee joints. Instead, also pay attention to leg muscles for painless mobility. <\/p>\n

Your knee joints play an important role when it comes to movement. Whether it’s a high-intensity run, brisk walk, or even getting up, the knees<\/a> are silently working to make your every move seamlessly smooth. Knees have become essential in keeping your movements fluid. But despite it, often knee health is neglected. Only when pain sets in do you give them attention, not otherwise. And even when you do pay attention, the exercises you do to improve knee health are typically limited to only the joints<\/a>, despite there being much more to the picture when it comes to knee pain.<\/p>\n

Rishabh Telang, fitness expert and Cult Fit founder, took to Instagram to share how even the muscles around the knees, when weak, can affect the knees.<\/p>\n

Why should your exercises target surrounding muscles?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s common to focus only on exercises that target the knees, because many people believe that if there\u2019s pain in the knee, the problem must be in the joint itself. But when it comes to knee health, it goes far beyond just the joint. The muscles around the knees play a major role in how your knees feel and function. These muscles are just as important for movements as the knees themselves.<\/p>\n

Rishabh explained, \u201cWeak knees are like a ticking time bomb in your entire movement system. When your muscles around your knees, like the quadriceps, hamstrings, tibialis, calves and even your glutes, are not strong enough, every step puts pressure on the joints.\u201d<\/p>\n
