knee liposuction

erin: hi, it's erin page and today i wantedto talk about sagging knees. i don't know about some of you out there but over timei've noticed that around my kneecap area that i was starting to get a little bit of wrinklageand some sagging. i did some research and the cause of that is actually a loss of collagenand elastin within the skin. plus, if you don't keep the muscles toned and keep themworked, those muscles start to shrink and that skin around it is not held tight andtaunt so therefore you have saggy knees. i want to do something about it before it getstoo bad. i'm here today with the myosource bands and the kinetic bands and we're goingto show you how to build those muscles and to keep them going. it even just...speaker 2: that's the first thing i was going

to tell you to do is just raise that kneeup and come back down. now the key is are you feeling it in any of the areas you weretalking about? erin: i am right here, right above the knee.speaker 2: is that putting any stress on the knee?erin: no. speaker 2: okay, so it's working now. nowlet's try this. does that feel like it's doing anything and does it...erin: i feel it a little bit here and i'm also feeling it on the inner thigh which isgood as well. speaker 2: let's try this. if you can just...kindof like that. that's probably going to be more of a hamstring but what i'm trying tofind out from you is does that target any

of the area that you're talking about aroundthat knee? if it doesn't, that's okay. erin: not as much. i definitely...speaker 2: it may be a lighter effect than...some people think i got to have pain in order toget benefit, but it could just be a little...now you should get hamstring, hip, and butt rightthere. now let's try this. i want you to point the toe out like that because i want it torelax the knee. tell me does that affect any of the areas?erin: yes it does. speaker 2: we should be getting upper thighhip flexors right here. right in there. do you feel that too?erin: yep. speaker 2: what about that area in the saggyknees?

erin: yes, definitely. inside of the thighfor sure. speaker 2: what's happening with the bandsis the bands are basically engaging from the knees to the abs. the idea about having themabove the knee is to take the stress off the knee, but we may be able to accomplish thesame goal with that. again, we're just looking for stuff. stand like this and point thosetoes out just a little bit. everything i do when i point the toes out is take the stressoff the knee. let's come down and see if that should get you quad. it will get you somebutt action, some hamstring. i want to see if you feel it in an area that you're talkingabout. erin: right along...and still, there's nostress on the knees so this is good.

speaker 2: the key is i think we can sit hereand do 100 different things. having done this for so long, i pretty well know what it targets.let's try this. again, see what we may be doing is that...do you feel that in the quad?erin: yes. speaker 2: lower or upper?erin: lower. speaker 2: lower, okay so towards that area.what we're doing is we're trying to draw that skin back up towards the sort of up and seeif that tightens it. then we'll cut down on that sag. again, i'm learning as we go becausethis is the first i've ever been exposed to it.erin: i think the women viewers are really going to take this seriously because you seeit in the tabloid magazines all the time.

i read that surgery costs like $2,500. whowants to spend $2,500 on a surgery. plus, the knee actually is a hard place to hidescars unlike a lift. speaker 2: what we're trying to do too is...iget a lot of people who are like i can't exercise a lot because i have bad knees. that's totallyopposite of what you should be doing. what you want to do is i want to strengthen yourthighs, your hamstrings, your glutes or your butt, your abs, your lower back and your hips,and then that will take the stress off your knees to give them a chance to heal. you knowwhat a lunge is. i want you to forward lunge and tell me where you feel that and tell mewhere that helps you. you shouldn't be stretching out that upper part but i'm looking for yourguidance.

erin: i'm actually feeling it right in herewith the bands, right through here. speaker 2: there's no stress and you feellike that part of the saggy knees... those were helping it. i want you to take aboutthree towards me. now you should be getting some quad action, a little bit of glute action.now i want you to stand there and i want you to go backwards. it's harder. it works morebalance and coordination and i want to see if that helps in that area. we're gettingthree or four things with one exercise.
