​
“Is my child ready for elementary school?” As a mom, chances are you’ve asked yourself this question. In today’s world, we want to make sure that we’re giving our children every advantage and opportunity that we can, and that means ensuring that their education begins early — and gets off to the right start.

Training Tip with Carrie: Happy Knees (Part 2)

7/27/2021

0 Comments

 
While knee pain may be a common complain among runners, multiple studies have shown that regular running strengthens the joints and actually protects against development of osteoarthritis later in life. Last week, our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, brought us two exercises to help us strengthen our knees. This week, she's back to show us two additional knee exercises.

​One note, do not run if you have ongoing pain in your knees. Seek a recommendation from an orthopedic doctor and/or physical therapist. 

​This article includes a video that offers six exercises to help keep your knees — and the rest of your body — healthy.  https://www.runnersworld.com/health-injuries/a32598733/is-running-bad-for-your-knees/

  1. Jump squat: do 4 sets of 15 reps
  2. Walking lunge: 3 sets of 15 reps
  3. Low side-to-side lunge: 3 sets of 15 reps
  4. Mountain climbers: 3 sets of 15 reps
  5. Lateral band walks: take 20 steps to the right, then 20 to the left. Do 3 sets.
  6. Reverse hip raise: Do 3 sets of 15 reps

Training Tip with Carrie: Happy Knees (Part 1)

Will running ruin your knees? What if you already have bad knees? Most knee injuries, like other running injuries, occur because of overuse. Research suggests that knee injuries are often caused by weakness or instability elsewhere in the body, especially the hips. That’s why strengthening the knees often involves exercises for your quads and glutes. Tune in today as our National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, shares two exercises to help strengthen those knees and keep them happy. Next week, she'll be back with two more!
