Knee Strength
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2010 5:58 pm
A few days ago I was rock hopping on the beach, and I guess I must have slipped on a rock or something, but for the rest of the day, I had some mild knee pain. The pain was almost gone the next day, but it still concerned me. I've never had a major knee injury, but they do feel tender after a good descent, so I've taken to using trekking poles.
Anyway, I was wondering if there's anything I can do to prevent future pain or injury. Will exercising my legs (squats, etc.) help with that? Any recommendation on specific exercises or programs to build leg strength and prevent knee injury?
