Indoor Cycling to strengthen knee muscles?

[StarkeyGo]

Hi! Unfortunately, I hurt my knees while running and my mental health is suffering the lack of endorphins. Still, I don't want to hit the road again running until I'm not 100% recovered. I have suffered from bad knees in the past as I'm hypermobile (not extreme, but enough to stop me from walking).

I can walk and I'm wearing some bands to keep the muscles in place while I wait for my knee support sleeves to arrive next week.

But I feel I need to do some exercises, the problem is, I HATE to exercise I really don't like it. I suppose the fact that I'm too depressed to even leave the bed is not helping.

Would cycling indoors help to recover those muscles you think? *say yes, say yes, say yes*

Thank you for your help, always and a big hug to everyone especially to those that struggle with mental health conditions.

Cycling is great for developing knee strength without loading too heavily.

These knee strengthening exercises will also work in a more general way nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/k...
