"I'll NEVER replace my knees!"
Soccer trainers have known this for years relative to minimizing knee injuries.
"I'll NEVER replace my knees!"
Short sided...it is the other way around. The hamstrings are notoriously, weak in many people, which causes imbalances between each leg and causes issues which posture and tightness of the IT band, which causes improper Gait and knee tracking (the knee cap begins to point left or right, slightly. This coupled with low vitamin D status for too long, weak mud-back muscles, placing a wallet in your back pocket on a daily basis, crossing your legs, too long and pointing your knee towards the center of your car or door, while driving in traffic, is what raises your risk for a knee replacement.
I’m 84. I make it a point to climb at least 10 flights of stairs everyday.

I’m still amazed by the fact that despite both my hips having imploded due to “overwork” (my word) I’ve never had a lick of trouble with either of my knees. One would thing that the same stresses that destroyed my hips would damage my knees...but they didn’t.
I don’t think so
Knee replacement is about cartilage destruction and bone on bone pain.
Strengthening quads make for easier knee replacements
My ex-gf had terrific thighs, could crush a walnut if placed between them.
I stumbled upon this almost by accident. I was wanting to get in shape again (i’m in my early 60’s) and have had a problem with my left knee being sore for quite a while. Among other things I’ve been doing leg lifts, side kicks and toe touching and my quads are getting pretty firm. At the same time I’ve noticed my knee pain is almost non-existent.
Beyonce is all set.
Not when arthritis eats away the knee joint...
That is what got my wife 17 years ago...
How many remember this ad? Even a long since defunct comedy channel was telling us this, We’ve got to strengthen our knees.

Unless your knees are worn out and bone on bone...
I had double knee replace at once in 2019 as I wore out both knees, I was jogging in two months afterwards...That was my problem was due to over use and over worked. Now I have a pair of knees good for the rest of my life.
squats baby!
...never skip leg day
...or core workouts. We all exercise our backs because we bend over, but without strong abs and obliques to counterbalance, our backs carry the weight of our torso, leading to back pain. Got back pain?
...crunches baby!
Hmm...
