What are some exercises with ankle weights that will strenghten my knee?
Trinity asked:
I recently had a knee injury and I’ve been told by the doctor that I have weak ligaments. I’ve read somewhere that ankle weights will help. Now, I have ankle weights, but I don’t know what exercises to do. What are some exercises that I can do with leg weights (5 lbs.) that will strengthen my knees?

I would start off with leg lefts. Keeping one leg bent and the other doing the lefts (not both doing lefts at the same time). You might say how does this strengthen the knee well it really doesn’t but will strengthen the muscles around your knee which is a good dropping in point. I would start doing set of 15 and then switching legs (if both have a problem) doing two to three sets.
