Simple Moves For Knee Pain

The jury is in: "Bad knees" aren't sidelining your workout; your hips may be the guilty party. According to a review of 28 years' worth of research on common exercise injuries, hip strength is the biggest predictor of knee pain. So grab a resistance band and do these moves daily, working up to 3 sets of 10 reps on each side.

Side Swing: Anchor band on left side at floor height and loop band around right ankle. Balancing on left foot (hold on to something if   needed), raise right leg out to side; lower.
