There’s more than one way to train knees- we’ve got 3 for you right here. Different loading strategies create different adaptations. Save this and add it to your routine when your knees need some TLC.
✅ knee CARs. There is a reason we talk about CARs all the time. It’s the best place to start when you get curious enough about how your body moves. Learning to isolate the joints helps pinpoint limitations and pain.
✅axiels. Learning to rotate your knees is hard. Put a block between the knees to block the hips from joining the party.
✅knee hovers. A block is a good tool because you have 3 heights to play with. Knee flexion can be a limiter for a lot of us. Learn to train it controlled and specifically.

Take a minute, pinch and zoom, read the slides. Learn about Vermont’s African American Heritage Trail. For instance, did you know Vermont’s state constitution was the first constitution in America to prohibit slavery when signed on July 7, 1777…just down the road in Windsor, VT. #blackhistorymonth #vermontblackhistory #thestudiouv

Train the chain.
Every step you take uses your foot, ankle and knee. When they work well as a team movement feels easier and better.
Take advantage of yoga and kin this month and learn more about why your knee is cranky and your squat is limited.
