Hi everyone. Here is some insight worth resharing. While recuperating from a total knee replacement, I found it advantageous to walk up and down small hills  It took about four and a half months to do this, however. The incline provides a good overall leg workout, along with circulatory benefits. The decline seems to mainly work on my quads and knee flexibility. Have you tried using hills as a tkr walking exercise?

And, I find it great to walk backwards up the hill.  This is great for the hamstrings. I have written about this on other posts throughout this site. Take a look around!

Of course, what works for me…may not work for you. I am simply sharing insight from personal experiences that prove beneficial for myself.

Even those without a total knee replacement can find using hills as Walking Exercise Helpful. Just ask my neighbors. It has become a trend around here. 

NOTE: Sturdy, nonslip soled shoes are essential for this exercise. This goes without saying, but needs to be mentioned for safety purposes. Well-fitting walking shoes are crucial for comfort and safety purposes.
