10 Minute Knees
July Schedule: Week Two
•
17m
The knees are tricky. There are many reasons that they could be cranky and one of them is that the surrounding muscles aren't supporting them. In todays class, we will bring stability to the quads (helps to stabalize the knee cap), the glute med and min (myofascially connects to the IT band which inserts right below the outside of the knee) and then the hamstrings. You don't need any props for class but if you want to up the challenge, you can always add weights or a pilates ball.
We have about 10 minutes of work in this class and then the warm up and cool down!
