Building strong knees requires a combination of exercises that target the muscles around the knee joint, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and ligaments.

In his caption, he wrote, “4 exercises to help bulletproof your knees, no equipment needed. Do this consistently to ensure you don’t end up with weak knees. Share this with your friends or family members who might find this useful. I hope this helps.”
In the accompanying video, titled ‘how do you build strong knees’, Rishabh demonstrated four knee-strengthening exercises. He said, “How do you build strong knees and prevent them from getting injured? Four exercises, no equipment… I would recommend you do this (whole workout routine) twice per week and a couple of rounds every time you are doing this. If you are doing this consistently, you are only a few workouts away from building bullet-proof knees.”
Rishabh said, “Weak tibialis means weak knees. Place your butt on the wall and transfer the weight onto the heel. Bring it back down and do 20 repetitions of this exercise.”
“Get into a wall sit and transfer your weight onto the toes. Bring them back down and do 20 repetitions of this exercise,” he added.
Rishabh then said, “Get into a split stance, a narrow one, and sit all the way down. Then get back up. Do 10 repetitions of this exercise on each leg.”
He added, “Calf raises: use your hands for support and bring your heels off the ground as much as you can. Bring it slowly back down and repeat. Do 20 repetitions of this exercise.”
Remember to consult with a healthcare professional or physical therapist before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have any underlying knee conditions or concerns. Avoid overexerting yourself if you’re new to exercising. Moreover, if you experience any pain or discomfort, stop exercising and consult with a healthcare professional immediately.
