[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 119474, member: 18023"] I have an exercise I created using a Freemotion Dual Cable EXT Crossover with Weight Stack machine. They have these in the health club. I hurt my knees by doing excess stair climbing, going for 40 min and 120 flights of stairs for several month 3-4 times a week. After some point in time, by knees started hurting. They hurt even going up a few stairs at home. The exercise that seems the best to counteract this problem was using the dual free arm crossover cable machine. I lower on arm nearly to the floor and put the other arm at waist height. I use the higher arm to steady myself. Then slip the handle of the lower arm over the toes of one foot, and do a leg extension while holding onto the other arm. It'a a lot like a traditional leg extension using a machine, but the machine still hurt my knee while the cable didn't. What was important, doing a few sets of these exercises increasing the weights as I do along, relieved the pain even after the exercise and seems to improve all aspects of this problem. I think the excessive stair climbing maybe pulled my knee cap out of alignment by over strengthen some quad muscles as the expense of other muscles. Or perhaps irritated some tendons, kind like tennis elbow. Or even more likely, some sort of Iliotibial Band tightness. Not at all sure what was the problem, it really hurt if I tried to do lunges or seated stair presses, and even legs extensions with a light weight hurt. It’s pretty much going away now, I am going to introduce some running to see if it helps, hurts or is neutral. Bike riding seems to help, but not as much as the cable machine. Just though it might help someone with knee problems to figure out an exercise that helps. [/QUOTE]
