膝の痛み改善方法について（ピラティス動画の紹介がメイン）。
ここ2年で膝の痛みがひどくなってきたので（コロナ後完全在宅で運動不足なだけ、ではない感じ）自力で改善できる方法を模索中です。
wear and tear
意味 （肉体的· 精神的） 消耗, 疲労
Squatting, running, walking, sitting—daily life put our knees through a lot of wear and tear. So it’s little surprise that about 25 percent of American adults deal with knee pain, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. We might ice, rest, and pop Ibuprofen like it’s our job, but in most cases, it’s actually an issue in the muscles surrounding the knees that’s causing them to hurt.

あーこの成句、TOEIC対策本で見かけたことある！意味忘れてた！
sedentary
意味 座りっぱなしの, 座りがちで体を動かさない, 座業の〈人· 仕事· 生活〉
“There are many muscular attachments around the hips that help control the motion of the knee joint and your leg,” Jaclyn Fulop, PT, founder of Exchange Physical Therapy Group, told Well+Good in 2020. “Knee pain is often due to muscle imbalances from tightness and weakness, and sedentary behavior for long periods of time can cause knee pain due to these imbalances.”

うえぇ…完全にこれが私の膝痛の原因じゃんw でももう在宅仕事以外無理だよぉー！
thigh
意味 もも, 大腿部 （knee (膝) と hip (腰) の間）
For example, she explains that when your gluteus medius (one of your butt muscles) is weak, it allows your thighs to rotate and pull inwards, which causes excessive strain around your knee joint. And tightness in your vastus lateralis (part of your quadriceps) can pull your kneecap in a wonky direction and damage the cartilage underneath.

発音は「 /θaɪ/ 」聞き取れないだろうなぁw 難しい単語だー。
fire
意味 〈エンジンなど〉に燃料をくべる, 供給する
When your muscles aren’t firing optimally, that also means your joints don’t get all the good stuff they need to thrive.

この意味だと思う…けど少し自信ないー。
glute
意味 ＝gluteus any of several muscles of the buttocks, especially the gluteus maximus.
“We are really going to work into the muscles of the hip,” says de Winter. “Now the glute muscles all around the hip help support those knee joints. Strong glutes mean supported knees.” By strengthening the hip and glute muscles, de Winter says that you’ll feel more supported during walks, runs, and even while standing.

股関節、確かに若い頃より硬くなってるわ…膝に集中せずに脚の付け根からほぐしていくのがいいかなー。
spine
意味 [医] 背骨, 脊柱
To do this exercise, lie down on your back, place your feet flat, raise your hands into the sky, and lift your hips up to form a straight line from your shoulders to your knees, keeping a neutral spine. “Press through your heels like you’re trying to dig a hole,” says de Winter.

abdominal
意味 (かたく)[通例[名]の前で][解剖] 腹部の
De Winter tops off this knee-friendly Pilates series with abdominal work to really engage the core and provide the base and foundation for you to move about the world in one solid piece, without putting undue pressure on other parts of the body (like the knees!).
