In 2014 I jumped off the back of my work truck, a height of about 6ft. I'd done this many times b4, but this time my Knees buckled & I laid grimacing. To cut a long story short, my Orthopaedic Surgeon,highly recommended I have a double hip & double knee replacement, but I declined, opting to have my left meniscus removed instead! Eight years later, having adjusted my diet which includes daily intakes of Krill & vitamin K2 (M7) pills, exercising regularly, especially strengthening those Glutes, this 70yr old is still climbing ladders, doing all our own home maintenance work, pain free. I think I dodged a bullet! Thanks Dr David...I include many of your strategiesš

WOW! Talk about ālooks being deceiving,ā I just started bicycling outdoors again, in an effort to strengthen my legs. & I was so happy to notice some nice definition forming in my quads. I took it as a sign that Iām getting stronger, doing something right. I had no idea it was a result of overworking my knees. Bummer. Happily, I discovered you & your awesome content. So, Iāll just have to start squeezing my butt when I ride, cuz I love riding my bike too much to give it up. Iām a senior & just getting back to riding on a regular basis after about a year & 1/2. So people are already looking at me sideways as I wabble down the sidewalk, getting my bearings. Wait til I start squeezing my glutes as I ride. Thatās gonna be a sight. š¤£ Thanks very much for this crucial information, Dr. David.ā¤ļøšš½š

Thank you so much Dr. David. Thank God I did not decide for knee surgery 3years ago. I have been given exercises mentioned in this presentation which are a NoNo. I followed your advice on tightening more of my glutes. I am so ecstatic something works.
Iām 79 y/o & retired RN. After listening to your presentation I was in pain on
both knees. Did your glute exercises for a week now & has helped to reduce the stiffness when walking. Please continue these presentations. Iāll share these with other retired RNs.

Excellent review!! Great explanations. Thank you for emphasizing this critical issue. I've have talked to I'm blue in the face about one needs to be aware of muscle imbalances. One of the main reasons folks have poor posture with walking, sitting and increased joint issues in their hips, knees and ankles is poor activation & proper use of their gluteal muscles, weak abdominal &/or weak back muscles and inflexibility of their ankles. You can make your brain more aware of a muscle group you want to activate and use more by "gently" slapping that muscle - gluteal mm while you are about to exercise that gluteal mm. You see athletes doing this all the time. Your brain is powerful. IF you don't activate and properly use a muscle, then your brain will just sort of not think about activating and using that muscle. Also, one gluteal muscle = one butt cheek can be working, firing & in use more than the other butt cheek. One must work on waking up that butt cheek with more brain awareness; especially of a mild neuropathy or nerve disease or damage is causing one side of your leg & or butt cheek to be weaker than the other. Butt muscle use and strengthening is mentioned so often because it's one of the most important muscles in one's body BUT it's also one the most ignored muscle (both mentally & physically), in the body.
