    Looking to see if anyone has any intresting non-weight bearing exercises for leg strength. Recovering from a knee injury am on machine weights. Anyone got anything different as im finding them a bit boring.

    Straight Leg Lifts

    Strengthens the quadriceps. Lie on the floor. Lift one leg about 6-12 inches off the floor and hold for 10 seconds flexing the thigh muscles. Lower and repeat 10 times. Switch legs, repeat 5 times and work up to 10 sets of 10 repetitions. You can do this anywhere - even while watching TV.

    Depends on what you are recovering from tbh as some exercises will make your condition worse.
