Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 To get strenght your knees you have to do "smooth" cycling. 20 minutes per day, watch your pain, and make every week the cycling a bit more heavy...ideal should be a static bicycle...or any way a norm,alone but in a flat environment... Another possibility is to walk slowly but paying attention in pressing all your feet in the floor and going up and down the road/ streets... in general the key point is to play a smooth force in your legs but constantly in a daily basis... take care and do not streess to much your knees... do not be in a hurry good luck Luis ----------------- Apúntate a la peña de lotería primitiva y gana mucho dinero fácilmente http://loterias.ozu.es/ ----------------- Correo enviado desde http://www.ozu.es Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hi Dave, there is a very god set for better sitting called the "Rishikesh"-Set (Not the vivekananda one). I do it every second day as a warmup. and it has improved all my sittingpostures, incluing RockPose i am even able to do foll lotus now! Its from a german Book by Satya Singh and will improve leg flexibility drastically- Lets see if i can get this together in english without dictionary: 1. Sit with legs stretched out in front and move your feet in a circular motion Both feet go in the same direction. Begin counterclockwise. Hands on the ground beside the corpus. Breath in thinking Sat: feet circle towards the body - and out thinking Nam: feet move away from body. (1 Minute ) 2. Repeat circling feet in opposite direction (clockwise) (1Minute) 3. Repeat moving feet forth and back with Breath+Sat Nam (1 Minute) 4. Do a little Live Nerve Stretch and Shake out your legs then, here come the kneeplays: With both hands grab your left upper thigh near the knee joint so that hands encompass the thigh. Begin painting circles in the air with your feet by moving lower thigh. Start with small circles; if you feel comfortable with it make the circles bigger. Begin counterclockwise for 1 Minute, then clockwise for another minute. One Breathcycle (In/Out) lasts for two full circles. 5. Change legs. And do 4. again 6. With right hand grab left foot and bring it in direction to your belly. Then put left hand on your knee and move the knee in a circular motion, so that foot and right hand follow as it is comfortable for you. The Movement comes from the left hand, not the foot or right hand. Breath in thinking Sat: knee moves down and away from the body - and out thinking Nam: knee moves up and to the body. repeat for 1 Minute, then change directions for another minute. 7. Change Legs and do 6. again in both directions. 8. Imagine your lower thighs were babies: Rock them gentle in your arms by putting your left foot into the inside angle of your right elbow, and bring your hands together in Venus pose under the thigh. 1 Minute 9. Change Legs and do 8 again. If necessary shake out your legs between the exercises. If you do it regularly your joints woll become stronger and stronger. Hope that helps!
