I’m doing a project for my college course in Pilates, and I’m looking for exercises that will strengthen weak knees.

Hello Tess Wilber,
I am sure you probably already saw these; but, here are some links for you to check out:

A google search shows many pictures, also. The trick is to work not only the joint but also the joint on either side: hip and ankle, making sure to work all surrounding muscles to stay in balance. Musculoskeletal balance is the other key. Don’t underestimate flexibility, either; a flexible muscle is a strong muscle.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.

“Weak knees” typically means the muscles that stabilize the knees are weak. Build your program to strengthen the hips and quadriceps. Exercises like clam and floor bridging may be helpful. You may also want to look a single leg exercises. Best of luck!
