If your knees ache going down stairs, do this every day. Banded TKEs build the VMO, the muscle that keeps your kneecap tracking right. Anchor the band, loop behind the knee, lock it out. 3x15 each leg. The Terminal Knee Extension is one of the most underrated knee exercises out there. It targets the VMO, the teardrop muscle above your kneecap that stabilizes the joint and tracks your patella properly. Set up with a band anchored in front of you, loop it behind your knee, step back for tension, then push through to lock the knee out straight. Squeeze the quad hard at the top. #trainsmart #kneepainrelief #therapeutic #selfcaretips #sportsperformance
