Knee Strengthening Exercise Series Part 3

Hi


When you do these exercises remember to begin with the other exercises from part 1 and 2 first. When trying to strengthen your knees you must begin slowly to build other areas around the knees. Do not just start with this section and skip the other sections. You may do more harm than good. Slow is good skipping steps is not good, not for knees that need work and strength. Repeat all these sections everyday and remember to do them slowly and smoothly with resistance. Fast is not good and working through the pain is not good. If you experience pain, stop do it again the next day. You will not accomplish any thing by working through the pain except making your condition worse. Drink lots of fluid and remember Rome was not built in a day and neither were your knees. You can contact me by going to www.gohealthysteps.com and click the contact button there. Enjoy.

Knee Strengthening Exercise Series Part 2

Hello,

Those of you with any knee pain know how important it is to have well working and strong knees. I have been asked by so many people to help by giving exercises to build strong knees before their problems get worse. You must remember that the knee is supported by muscles surrounding it. For example the hamstring ( the back of the leg) the thigh (above the knee) the buttock, and the calf. So when doing these exercises we must build strength in these areas as well. Please don't think because you run, walk and may do other exercises you don't need this. WRONG! This is dedicated to the knee alone, and yes you need it. This concentrates on this area to build up the strength we need to support our body and build up the area around the knee joint.

Those of us who may garden, bend a lot, stand a lot or just wear and tear as we age, need these exercises as a daily course of life. I would love to hear from you after you have completed the series as to how you are doing and feeling. They work, if you work at them. Keep doing the exercises and let me know if you have any questions. Info@lebedmethod.com

Knee Strengthening Exercise Series Part 1

When working to build strong knees you must also build your thighs, hamstring, calf muscles and behind. These exercises will help do all of the above and should be done at lease 3-5 times a week. Do them slow smooth with resistance and no more repetitions than I tell you on the video. We will be working up to doing work directly with our knees but first you must make the other areas strong. This is only one of four sessions and don't cheat, always start with this one first, then move on to the others when I post them. Make sure you speak to your doctor or therapist before doing any exercise program and drink lots of water and keep hydrated. Any questions email me at info@lebedmethod.com
