Try to perform between 10 and 15 repetitions.

2. Pulse squats

Pulse squats

Speed ​​skaters

 
Jump to the side and, while touching the balls of your feet to the ground, bring your opposite leg back.
Immediately jump back in the other direction, continuing to alternate until you complete the reps.
Perform between 25 and 50 repetitions in total.

5. Calf raises

 
Calf raises

We know that a very common knee-related injury is a torn meniscus, which is part of the spinal cartilage on both sides of the knee, which is located between the two largest bones of the lower leg and the upper leg bone and is more prone to knee torsion injuries or other degenerative changes.

This exercise initiates the help of the meniscus by strengthening the muscles that surround and stabilize the knee, it helps the ankle muscles improve coordination and balance, thus keeping the knee in the proper plane because they put minimal pressure on the knee and are ideal for the recovery of a damaged meniscus.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand (this exercise can be done without dumbbells, but is more effective with them).
Get as high as you can stepping only with the balls of your feet. Hold the position for a moment and lower to the starting position. That’s a repeat.
Perform between 25 and 40 repetitions in total.


6. Cup squats

Cup squats

 
Stand tall with your feet spread wide and your hips turned slightly outward.
Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in front of your chest while keeping your elbows close to your body.
Bend at the hips, knees, and ankles to squat down.
Continue until your hips are slightly lower than your knees.
o get up, push your feet toward the ground and return to the starting position.
Complete 10 reps, rest, and repeat for a total of two to three sets.


7. Reverse lunge with kick

 
Reverse lunge with kick

Front kick reverse lunges are great for ensuring you engage your quads, glutes, and core while getting your heart rate up.

Start in a standing position, step back into a reverse lunge, then bring that same foot forward into a front kick.
It is important to lean back slightly as you kick forward. This will help activate your core and increase your range of motion.

You have to make sure that you are pushing your hips back and forth; these are push ups, not squats.
