The knees over toe's guy is a genius.

His unique approach to exercise earned him over 2.4 M instagram followers.

As a physical therapist, I've helped hundreds of people using his methods.

Here's the only 8 exercises you need to bulletproof your knees:

1. Lunges

Each exercise includes a few variations.

Progress yourself once you have:

-Minimal pain
-Nailed technique
-Full range of motion

2. Tib raises

The solution for your tight calves isn't more stretching.

Strengthen the front of your shin with tibialis raises.

Progress yourself further by moving your feet further away from the wall.

3. Step down

The most common mistake is inward knee collapse.

Avoid this by keeping your knee in line with your foot.

Plates are the perfect progression so you can adjust step height.

4. Deep squat

Squats that stretch and strengthen.

The slant board variation increases the load on the knees.

While the flat ground squat emphasizes the hips and back.

5. Nordic curls

Every NFL running back is a master of this exercise.

Eccentric hamstring strengthening to:

-Avoid an ACL tear
-Improve your agility
-Prevent a hamstring strain

6. Reverse nordic

Length plus strength for your quad muscles.

As you lean back, push your hips forward for a full hip flexor stretch.

7. Backward walking

If you're currently having knee pain,

Start with the backward walking progression.

8. Single leg calf raises

Constant calf stretching isn't cool.

Do this instead:

-Full ROM calf exercises (this video)
-Strengthen your tib muscle (video #2)
-Wear zero drop shoes (no elevated heel)
