RESILIENT HIPS AND KNEES 🧰 

1️⃣ Train movements that challenge stability & coordination

Because strong hips and knees aren’t just about muscle they’re about control. Stability work forces your joints, ligaments, and nervous system to work together, building balance, joint integrity, and real-world strength.

2️⃣ Train movements in multiple planes

Life isn’t lived in one direction. Moving in the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes strengthens the hips and knees from every angle, reducing injury risk and improving athletic movement.

3️⃣ Strengthen ligaments & tendons with plyometrics

Plyos build tissue resilience. The quick stretch shortening cycle increases tendon stiffness and improves force absorption, making your joints more durable during running, cutting, lifting, and everyday impact.

4️⃣ Prioritize unilateral training

Single-leg work exposes imbalances you can’t see with bilateral lifts. Fixing these gaps builds better alignment, improves gait mechanics, boosts power, and makes your hips and knees more stable on every step.

5️⃣ Don’t neglect your adductors

Your adductors are major stabilizers for the pelvis and knees. Strong adductors improve lateral control, reduce knee valgus, enhance stride efficiency, and protect your hips during rotation and side-to-side movement.

 Here are 5 staples I swear by to build hips and knees that stay strong, stable, and confident.
