Summary

If your knees are feeling stiff, crunchy, or just not doing what they used to — you are not alone. In this episode, Chalene Johnson keeps it real and breaks down why your knees might be acting up (and yep, it’s probably not actually your knees). She’s talking hormones, tight hips, sleepy glutes, bad shoes — all the sneaky stuff no one tells you is connected.

Plus, Chalene shares exactly what she’s been doing to feel stronger, more mobile, and basically better than she did in her 30s. If you’ve been thinking “I guess this is just what happens with age” — hit play, because that’s a lie we’re not buying.

Hey, so if you are struggling with knees, your knees are stiff, they're immobile, you're having a

0:06.2

difficult time squatting, you have a difficult time getting up from a seated position or a

0:09.8

squatting position, if you don't enjoy a lot of the activities that you used to or you're putting

0:14.7

off certain exercises because your knees are always hurting, This episode is for you.

0:21.6

I recorded the intro to this episode outside, and I was going to do the whole thing outside,

0:28.1

but then I don't know if you could hear the birds squawking and traffic going by. I have ADHD.

0:33.9

I could hear those things, and because of that, I was like, I can't even focus. I can't even remember what it was I was about to talk about. However, in this episode, I'm actually going to take you through for essential exercises to help you become pain free, hopefully in your knees. If you are listening to the audio version, I'm going to do my best

and I've got lots of friends who are also in their 50s, and I've heard so many women in this

1:50.9

age bracket, and even younger. I mean, heck, I just got a DM from a gal on Instagram who says,

1:56.8

I'm 35 years old and my knees are cracking and popping and painful, and I feel like I'm 90.

2:03.6

This is a common experience, not just for women, for men too, but it's especially true for women
