Doing this video 10-15 times strengthened my knees from having pain/weakness around 10-12km mark, to having NO pain during an 18km run. Amazing!!!!
That’s amazing Robin. Well done for being so consistent with this session, you deserve the rewards of a pain free run for putting that work in 👍🏻🙌🏻😊
How long for? Starting to feel discomfort around my knees.
As someone who is new to running and is facing knee pain now, this was so helpful! Will definitely be coming back to this video.
Glad it was helpful Jordanna. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that 🙏😊
My knees thanked you and asked for more! I told them it was the glutes' turn. Knees are so selfish.
😂😂 love reading your comments, thanks for posting them! Glad your knees enjoyed this 😀
😂 love this! Too funny
I’ve struggled with bad knees for years and my left one was hurting after my run yesterday, after doing this just once I can already feel the difference in my knees!I used to think it was my shoes 😅 Thank you for this video I’m so glad I found it! I especially like all the balance work since it showed me that my hips need strengthening as they tend to want to bow outward when balancing on one leg. This is great, will be watching and following along frequently!
Great to hear you noticed things about your body from this practice Kayla. Thanks so much for commenting 😊
This is very much appreciated.
I have an old knee injury, got injured during long jump back in high school. I’m amazed at my stability, all thanks to your guidance. Don’t stop talking, it’s not annoying it actually helps keep me focussed and assured that I’m doing it right.
Thank you 💛✨
Thanks so much for that! Glad I could help you with this one 😊 well done for giving your knee some support with this type of session 👍🏻
I've done this for about a week now. It's really helpful thank you very much
You're very welcome Chris! So glad this has helped you over the last week, well done for doing it consistently 🙌🏻😊
I usually don't comment on yoga or exercise videos. But man, you are so nice. I was ill for three weeks and couldn't go for runs. In 4 weeks I am running my first marathon and I jumped back in after being ill and hurt my knee really badly. I really hope your videos can help me. Thanks anyways, really enjoyed it.
You're welcome Philip 😊 I really appreciate you stretching with me and taking the time to comment to let me know your kind feedback! Thank you 🙏😀
I was having pain in knee for a month... just started jogging... did this exercise for couple of day.. it is now 80% better
Glad you enjoyed this and it’s helped you 😊 thanks for commenting 🙏
this SAVED my knees for my first marathon!
Thank you so much Alyssa. I really appreciate that 🙏😊
I feel better after 1 time. I can see where this will be beneficial. Thanks!
I’m 57 and started running 5 years ago. I had lots of knee discomfort and pain and found your channel and this video. Wow! It’s been the best thing ever! Very little pain these days! Thank you - thank you!
Oh wow, thank you so much for letting me know this has helped you Jennifer. I really appreciate that 😊
I have struggled with runners knee off an on for the last year…I’m wondering how often to do this routine to help ease my pain?
I was wondering this too. How often, especially if you are already experiencing pain after eating run
This channel is just amazing, a true gem! So glad I found this, it's such a challenge to find something specific for runners, which would be creative and tough at the same time! Thanks a million for the content ❤
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that 🙏😊❤️
Thank you, Ash! This is my favourite sequence. I had issues with my knees and feet (plantar fasciitis) as I transitioned from 10 miles to a half marathon. The stretching I was doing simply wasn't enough. But three weeks of regular yoga exercises from your channel fixed things for me. So thanks for this amazing channel!
You're so welcome! That’s so great to hear my videos have helped you. Thank you for stretching with me and commenting I appreciate that 🙏😊
My knees really thanked you 😊
You're so welcome Maria. Thank you too, I appreciate you taking time to comment 🙏😊
This felt amazing thank you. I love the saying, smile at the challenge! I’m training for my first triathlon (iron man 70.3) and I am going to remind myself of that during tough times!
Amazing!! That’s so great to hear Jess 😊 so glad I could help you have a little reminder to smile when things get intense, thanks for following along with me and commenting 🙏 good luck with the Iron Man training 🙌🏻
Thank you for this video on knee strengthening. I like the length of your videos for stretching, strengthening, & balancing. As a 65 year old fun-runner I agree that my warm ups and cool downs are as important as my runs themselves! Yoga keeps me strong and injury free!
Thanks for that Patrice. I’ve just recorded another runners knee video today 👍🏻😊
Thanks Ash! I do this video several times a week and it has enabled me to break through run plateaus without pain!
Fantastic! Thank you too. I appreciate your comment to let me know 😊
Love everything about your content. Relevance, clarity, length. Just perfect, thank you
Awesome, thank you so much for that 🙏😊
Thank you for this video! Always struggle with runners knee so hopefully this helps
You're so welcome. Thank you too 🙏😊
Thanks Ash,
I try to do this video every other day, It really has helped strengthened my glutes etc. I have noticed a difference when running. I have Patellofemoral Arthritis which has created a real weakness of the glutes.
I recommend this particular video to anyone who mentions bad knees to me.
Thanks so much for that Sandra. I’m so glad you have benefited from it and then share it too. You are helping others by doing that 🙌🏻😊
Thankyou felt great, will continue do it daily to see improvements in my knee
Thank you too Kemal, I appreciate you taking time to comment to let me know 🙏😀
Feel great after, Thanks Ash!
Glad you liked it and it helped you Kim! Thank you too 😊
I love your approach, Ash. I've watched a tonne of strengthening and conditioning videos and yours are the ones I can actually do and want to do regularly.
Thank you so much Katie. I really appreciate that 🙏😊
My knees felt better after doing this! !👍
Thanks so much for that 🙏😊
2nd time doing this video and I am finally getting the hang of it. Thank you so much for doing this video. Making it a yoga practice is so much more interesting than a list of workouts to complete.
Thank you too, so glad you enjoyed this session with me. I appreciate your feedback 😊🙌🏻
Tight Achilles tendon was resulting in knee pain after my recent long run and this has loosened my entire chain from ankle to hip! Great session.
I appreciate your comment Thomas, thank you so much 😀
the routine was fun. Now i gotta see how my knees feel tomorrow. Thanks Ash
Thank you too Magnus. I appreciate your comment 😊
Really appreciated this 😊
Thanks so much for that Joshua 🙏😊
Thanks Ash! Ran the half marathon a month and a half ago, and it was great! Have moved with a few injuries since, which are healing, so haven’t been running. Went for a light jog today and felt some knee twinges. Came to do this video as a new stage of strengthening before the next run (unplanned as yet), which I realise I needed last time… hey ho! Enjoyed the exercises and feel the potential for strength which is great. Will be returning for more. Now off to do one of your stretch videos. Thanks again 😊
Thank you so much for your detailed comment Lydia and for double session with me today 🙏 well done for bringing strength into your routine, it will make such a difference and it’s something we neglect and ultimately pay the price for it. Well done on the half marathon 👍🏻🎉🎉🎉
Good short workout to support the knees!
Brilliant, that’s so good to hear Francesco. Glad this helped you 🙌🏻😊
such a good feeling in legs after your 'knee' pain avoidance set... thank you!
You're so welcome Sarah. Well done for doing this work 🙌🏻👍🏻😊
Thanks so much for this video Ash. I suffer with runners knee on my right hand side due to glute weakness and these exercises really got it firing. I’ll be adding this to my yoga routine. Fantastic help to us runners as always.
So glad you felt the benefit from this session, well done for working on it so many runners neglect strength and balance but its hugely important 😀 thank you for commenting to let me know 🙏
So glad I found this video Ash I've been having left knee issues and definitely doing this stretch. 🏃♀️🦵🫶
Happy to help! Thanks for that 🫶😊
Thanks for another great video! Ran my first 5k race this weekend and as soon as I finished I ran to your page for a post-run stretch. So, thank you again!
Amazing, thanks so much Madeline 🙏 well done on your first 5k 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻😊
Ive been having knee pain for about 6 months now and this is day 1 of trying yoga, thank you 🙏

You're so welcome Kaylynn. Thanks too 🙏😊
Great video, thanks Ash!
Glad you liked it Chris. Thanks so much for that 🙏😊
Thanks Ash! Loved this one. Made me do stretches I needed but wouldn't be bothered to do on my own!
Thank you too as always Helen, I appreciate your comments 👍🏻😊
Thank you for the video! Glad to see a video about injury prevention for running.
Glad you enjoyed this session Rebecca! Thanks for stretching with me and commenting. Have a great weekend 🙌🏻😊
Thank you
Glad you liked it Ashwin 😊 thank you for that 🙏
Thank you so much for these exercises, they are just amazing!!
Glad it helped you, thanks for commenting to let me know 👍🏻😊
Apparently, my balance is terrible! I'm going to work this into my routine a few times a week.
Great idea Amy, it will make such a difference to your running 👍🏻😊
Thank you. Started today. Will do everyday.
Wonderful! Thanks a lot for that, I really appreciate it 🙏😊
Thank you!
You're welcome! 👍🏻👍🏻😊
Amazing!!!
Thanks so much for that 🙏😊🫶
Thanks Ash
Thank you too Mike. I appreciate your comment 🙏😊
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!❤
So glad you enjoyed this session with me 😊 thanks for commenting 🙌🏻❤️
When is the most beneficial time to do this; pre-run, post-run or rest days?
Great question Karen! If you could do this on an Easy run day or a non running day that would be best 👍🏻😊
This was really challenging- I bobbled quite a bit, but I hung on til the end! Will hope to improve with practice. Thank you!
Well done for giving it a go Jaime, so many runners skip this work and it is so vital. I've made huge gains with clients that have improved their strength and balance with sessions like this 😀 thanks for commenting as you always do 🙏
I started really focusing on strengthening near the knee area when I noticed I have varicose veins in my left knee, thank you for this video the muscles surrounding my knee feels tight from the work 💪
That’s great to hear this helped your knee, thank you so much for commenting 🙏😊
i love running, but i'm plagued by runners knee. glad i found your channel to start really taking stretching and joint care seriously. subscribed!
Thank you so much and welcome to my UA-cam community 👋😊
Thank you 😊🎉
You're so welcome. I appreciate that, thank you too 🙏😊
Thank you for such a great video on a specific topic
Glad it was helpful! Thanks too! I’m glad you enjoyed this session, I appreciate you commenting 😀
Thanks Ash! Would love a longer Runners knee stretch/yoga video!
I have this other runners knee strength to session. Generally want to be doing more strength work to the muscles around to support the knee. 👍🏻

Great video again Ash.
Thanks again! 🙏😊
Thanks Ash! Exactly what I need in preparation for my marathon this November. I will watch more of your videos❤️
Thank you so much for following along with me and commenting Brenda 🙏 good luck with the marathon training 😊❤️
This was tough but just what I was looking for- something to make my knees "bulletproof". There is something to be said about doing this work with bare feet. Challenges your balance and activates parts of your feet/legs that you just take for granted! Most exercises I come across for knee strengthening are done in shoes and highlights the compensation they add - almost tricking your brain! Today was my first day doing this - very wobbly. I plan to add this to my routine and I'll have to let you know how it goes in a couple of weeks. Thanks Ash!
Fantastic comment. I love that you can feel the benefit of this barefoot and you are so right 🙌🏻 Dr Emily Splichal is a great resource for foot strengthening and the important connections to the other parts of the body from having string foundations (feet) 👍🏻😊
Thanks Ash! Another awesome yoga workout!!💜 A little tough but I know beneficial! Added this on to your Flexibility Boost Post Run stretch after my morning run. Today's run was a challenge 😥 but I completed as best I could. Refuse to get discouraged during 'my comeback'--and knowing one of your videos awaits after my run is encouragement to do my best!🙂
You're so welcome as ever Doreen, this one is definitely on the tougher side but it’s good to check your progress against. when you notice it feels slightly easier or your balance has improved that’s how you can see your progress 👍🏻 we have challenging runs all the time so it’s good you completed it as best you can, you have a great mental strength 😊🙏
Thank you so much! Great video!! 😁 I feel much better when doing your follow along stretches! 🙏🏼✨
Thanks a lot for that, I really appreciate it 🙏😊
Loved this one!
Thanks Jude. Glad you loved this one 👍🏻😊
Enjoyed this. Love your videos!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for commenting that🙏😊
Thank you very much my friend 😊
Thank you too 🙏😊
Thanks again Ash! Great video - no more dodgy knees!
Glad it was helpful Joel! Thanks for commenting to let me know you thought this was great 🙏😊
What a unique strength workout. Definitely a switch from squats and deadlifts!
Absolutely, changing it up a little to get those stabilising muscles burning Becky, well done 🙌🏻👍🏻
experiencing knee pain after my half marathon. Found this video being very helpful to prevent further knee pain. Thank you.
You’re very welcome 👍glad I could help you. Thanks for commenting 😊
I just found your channel and it's exactly all the things I am looking for to help take care of my body as I run and get older. Thank you!!
That is exactly why I move the way I do, run and stretch to help my body as I age. I want to age well too 😊 thanks for commenting and welcome to my UA-cam community 🙌🏻
Very useful exercises, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Anita. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻😊
Tried it and it helps 🎉
Glad you liked it 😊 thank you for that 🙏
Thank you for this video. I’m just getting back into running and my knees are hating me right now. Also this video showed me my balance is trash. I will keep repeating it until I can get all the way through without aids
You're so welcome! Thanks too and keep going 🙏😊🫶
My knee has been making a noise for a while, but I don't feel any pain. Today, before running, I tried this exercise and the noise decreased, and my knee felt more relaxed 🤘🏻 Thanks
Thank you too Ellie, glad you enjoyed this session with me an it helped your knee 😊🙌🏻
Thank you for this practice. This is a big help as I have been trying to learn more about my body and how muscle development aids in running. As we age, we can no longer just run more miles to run better. Strength training and your videos have been a great help in remaining injury free..
Well done for sticking with this video Heather, most runners shy away from this work but like you say it’s so important to help keep us running especially as we age 😊 I appreciate your comments 🙏
Thanks. Challenging but great.
Thank you too🙏😊
Thanks for the help
Happy to help, thanks too 😀
Thank you, Ash! My knees are already feeling better. I can't wait to see how they feel in a couple weeks of doing this exercise regularly. Love your channel!
Thank you so much for your positivity, it’s a great boost to read this is helping you. Well done for doing this kind of work for your body 🙌🏻😊
Hey Ash!! Thankyou for another great video! I have only recently started running and have really been enjoying your videos after my run as a way to stretch, relax and recover. I love how you emphasise the importance of recovery, especially as I have had a few knee injuries and am trying to keep them as healthy as possible! I was wondering if you’d be able to make a few more warm up videos - especially anything that will target the muscles around the knee to support it through my run. ☺️
Hey Jayde!! thank you so much for your feedback it really helps me understand how I can keep making videos that people will benefit from, I appreciate you taking the time to write that comment, thank you 🙏 there’s lots more to come from my channel and definitely going to add in some focused warmups, thanks 😊
Thank you for the great video
