muscle between knee and quads

[lulu68]

Does anyone know what exercise will give you that muscle between the knee and the quads?

I wasn't aware that there was a muscle between the knee and the quads: isn't that just the superior development of the attachment/head of one of the quads' muscles that you can see in people with great definition?

In which case your answer is squats, plie squats, lunges......

I'm thinking (and also hoping!) that the OP is talking about the m. tensor fasciae latae. (sp?)(it sounds like a fancy coffee drink from Starbucks...) I was told I need to strengthen that muscle as it's a large source of my knee pain. Any ideas on how? Thanks!!!

Maybe you could post in the Ask Cathe forum?

Any outer thigh move should help.
Those "firewalkers" that Cathe does with a band, or the ones in 4DS done while seated.
