Knee Armor

Knee Armor

Get started today!

Motion is lotion, but tension is the architect. Most knee pain isn’t a bone problem; it’s a 'braking' problem. Your tendons and ligaments act as the shock absorbers for your movement, so when they lose their structural integrity, the joint takes the hit. The Knee Armor Series is a 5-day intensive program that utilizes Isometric Loading, Banded Elasticity, and Targeted Isolation to remodel your knees from the inside out.

About Gritty Glitter Badger /Krista Kruszon

Certified Personal Trainer

I’ve been in fitness for 35+ years—a life long athlete, started lifting at 15, a CrossFit Masters Athlete, and never looked back. I’m a NASM CPT, NLP-certified, and obsessed with helping others build strength that lasts. I’ve lived the highs, battled burnout, and learned that true results come from consistency, not chaos. Inside my Playbook, you’ll find muscle-building workouts, functional strength programs, mindset tools, and daily practices that support longevity, confidence, and grit. This is real training for real life. Let’s build a body and mind you’re proud of.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this app different? How do I know it will work for me?
Here’s why my app is different—and why it works. Built for midlife women and midlife athletes, it blends hybrid strength + conditioning with sustainable progressions and Longevity Finishers that protect joints while building real-life performance. You’ll get zero-BS coaching from my 25+ years in the trenches, video demos, clear loading targets, and swap options for home or gym. “How do I know it’ll work for me?” You start at your level (quick baseline), choose scalable paths, and track lifts, conditioning, sleep, and habits in-app. Weekly check-ins and the Badger Den™ community keep you accountable. If you show up, the plan adapts with you—so your numbers, energy, and confidence become the
I’m a beginner, is this for me?
The app is built for midlife women and midlife athletes who already know their way around a gym—think working knowledge to intermediate/advanced. You’ll get structured progressions, loading targets, and Longevity Finishers that respect joints while building real-life performance. Newer to lifting? You’re still welcome. Every workout includes scalings, swap options (home or gym), tempo & range cues, and video demos so you can start lighter, master form, and progress safely. If you’re motivated and can follow clear guidance, you can do this. Bottom line: Geared to lifters with basics down; scalable for committed beginners.
Do I need to purchase equipment?
It depends on the workout! Make sure to check out each program to see what is required to complete it. No matter what you have access to, there’s something for everyone to help you get in shape!
