Permanently regain knee flexion and extension.

The exercises I will show you in this article will bulletproof your knees. You will never feel so much as a twinge in your knees again.

There is no such thing as “bulletproofing” your knees... This type of messaging is good marketing though.

Knee Extension Muscles and their Function

Knee extension is simply the act of straightening your knee. The main muscles responsible for this movement are your quads.

Knee Flexion Muscles and their Function

Flexion occurs anytime you bend your knee. The main muscles responsible are the hamstrings.

Knee Extension Exercises

To help identify progress, I recommend practicing movements that incorporate what you're working on. Performing standing knee extensions periodically is a great way to monitor improvement.
