Why Your Knees Feel Weak (And How to Fix It)

If your knees feel stiff, crunchy, or just not cooperating lately, you’re definitely not alone. In this episode, Chalene Johnson keeps it super real about what’s actually behind knee pain (and spoiler: it’s usually not your knees). Think tight hips, weak glutes, hormone shifts, and shoes that look cute but totally mess you up. She also shares the simple things that helped her feel stronger, more flexible, and honestly better than she did in her 30s. If you’ve been telling yourself, “this is just what happens with age” — yeah, no. Don’t buy that lie. Camp Be More 2026!!
