You have been told to do squats, but if you have trouble doing multiple squats due to knee pain, how do you strengthen your legs? Try this wall sit. It is a great modification that targets leg strengthening while minimizing the number of bends you do.
Lean back against a sturdy wall, wear shoes that keep you from slipping, and only go as low as feels comfortable to you. The more you do this exercise, the more confident you will be going lower. If you are worried about getting stuck, you could hover over a chair that is placed against the wall.

This is amazing! I haven’t been able to squat for years due to a knee issue! Never seen an alternative before!

I do this about 3x a week coz my knees no longer like to squat. It's amazing. This is now one of my favorite moves. Thanks for affirming I'm moving in the right direction! 💪💪

Three times a week is the right amount too! Keep up the good strengthening.

Thank you so much, Andrea! I love the way you explain: very clear, very kind - and safe advice.

More often than not knee pain while doing squats is caused by weak glutes, which leads to the quads taking over. If you have weak glutes this could potentially make knee pain much worse.

Thanks for the thought. Glute strength is important too.
