Squats

 

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, descending as if sitting back into a chair, while keeping your back straight and chest up. Ensure your knees do not go past your toes. Push through your heels to return to standing position. This exercise targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes, helping reduce fat around the knees.

Lunges

 

Begin by standing tall with feet hip-width apart. Step forward with one foot and lower your hips until both knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. Ensure your front knee does not extend over your toes. Push back to the starting position through the heel of your front foot. Lunges engage multiple muscles in your legs, enhancing fat burning around the knee area.

Step-Ups

 

Stand in front of a bench or step. Place one foot on the step and push your body up until your leg is straight. Bring the other foot up to meet it, then step back down with the same leg, followed by the other. Repeat for multiple repetitions before switching legs. Step-ups enhance the lower body muscle tone and promote knee fat reduction.

Leg Curls

 

Lying face down on a leg curl machine, position your legs under the padded lever. Curl your legs upward as far as possible while exhaling. Hold for a moment at the top of the movement before lowering the weight back to the starting position. This exercise specifically targets the hamstrings, aiding in the overall reduction of knee fat.

Wall Sits

 

Lean against a wall, with your feet shoulder-width apart, and slide down until your knees form a 90-degree angle. Ensure your knees do not extend past your toes. Hold the position for as long as possible. Wall sits build endurance in the quadriceps and help in melting knee fat when combined with a balanced workout regimen.

Kettlebell Swings

 

Stand with feet wider than shoulder-width apart. Hold a kettlebell with both hands in front of you, arms fully extended. Bend your hips back while swinging the kettlebell between your legs and then drive your hips forward to swing the weight up to chest level. The motion should be fueled by hip thrust, not arm strength. This dynamic exercise engages the entire body, aiding in fat loss, including around the knees.

Side Lunges

 

Start with feet together and step one foot out wide to the side, bending that knee while keeping the other leg straight. Lower your body without going past your toes to target the outer thighs. Push back up to the starting position and repeat on the other side. This lateral movement bolsters agility and reduces knee fat by toning muscles around the joint.

Calf Raises

 

Stand with feet hip-width apart, slowly rise onto your toes, and then lower back down with control. For added intensity, perform on a step with heels hanging off the edge. This exercise strongly engages the lower leg muscles and supports knee fat reduction through improving overall leg tone.

Bicycle Crunches

 

Lie flat on the ground with your lower back pressed to the floor, hands behind your head. Bring your knees to a 90-degree angle and mimic a pedaling motion, bringing one elbow towards the opposite knee. This core-focused exercise enhances calorie burn which can assist in reducing fat store around the knees.

Skaters

 

Start with feet together, jump to one side landing on one foot while bringing the other foot behind you or to the side for balance. Continue by jumping to the other side, mimicking a skating motion. This plyometric exercise effectively burns calories and helps in slimming down the legs, including the knees.

Premium Medication you can trust

Our weight loss medication is delivered straight to your doorstep from a state-licensed pharmacy within our reliable network, ensuring you receive your medication when you need it.

Each pharmacy in our network undergoes rigorous third-party testing through FDA and DEA certified labs. These tests focus on four key elements, ensuring both safety and efficacy for our treatments.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Knees Fat

 

Squats and Lunges

 

  • Combine Squats with Lunges to maximize the engagement of your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Perform a set of squats immediately followed by lunges to keep the muscles under constant tension, enhancing their toning and fat-burning potential around the knee area.

 

Step-Ups and Wall Sits

 

  • Integrate Step-Ups with Wall Sits to increase lower body muscle endurance and strength. Start with step-ups to work on dynamic movement and follow with wall sits to build isometric strength endurance targeting the quadriceps for effective muscle tone and fat reduction.

 

Leg Curls and Calf Raises

 

  • Pair Leg Curls with Calf Raises to focus on both the hamstring and calf muscles. Perform leg curls first to fatigue the hamstrings and then add calf raises to engage lower leg muscles for a comprehensive approach to developing lean legs and reducing knee fat.

 

Kettlebell Swings and Skaters

 

  • Integrate Kettlebell Swings with Skaters to enhance overall caloric burn and increase cardiovascular intensity. Transition from the power-focused kettlebell swings to the lateral motion of skaters, promoting agility and lower body fat reduction.

 

Side Lunges and Bicycle Crunches

 

  • Combine Side Lunges with Bicycle Crunches to target both lateral leg and core muscles. Start with side lunges to activate the outer thighs and immediately follow with bicycle crunches to engage the core, ensuring a comprehensive workout that aids in knee fat reduction.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.
