How I Turned My Knee Pain into Leg Power with TRX Exercises

For years, even as a personal trainer, I battled constant knee pain.

Every squat… pain.

Walking downstairs… pain.

Picking something up off the floor… you guessed it, pain.

I tried everything – physio, expert advice, avoiding exercises…

Nothing worked.

Even when I ditched the gym years ago and switched to a suspension trainer with bodyweight, the pain stayed.

Want to know why?

Because I was making the same mistake most people make…

I was loading my joints instead of my muscles.

Here’s the thing…

Most people think a squat is just moving up and down.

That’s what I thought too.

But that’s ‘movement-centric technique’ – and it’s killing your joints because the joint takes the majority of the load…

Not your muscles.

What changed everything for me was applying ‘muscle-centric technique’ to all my TRX suspension trainer leg exercises.

Let me break it down…

When you squat, you need to first decide WHICH muscle you want to target.

Think about your TRX exercise squats in three different ways:

1. Targeting the back of your legs (hamstrings and glutes)
2. Targeting the front of your legs (quads)
3. Targeting both at once

Each TRX squat approach uses a different movement technique to place the load onto that muscle area and take it away from the joint.

When you switch your focus to ‘targeting the muscle area’ instead of ‘doing a movement’ you’ll build strong leg muscles that support your knee joints.

Instead of creating worn-out joints that cause you pain.

I went from dreading every squat to actually ENJOYING leg workouts.

I’ve got a video here that shows you these squat techniques and how to fix your knee pain once and for all.
