Knock off Knee Fat

Chandi Schwab
This is mostly for women but maybe some of you men feel this way as well.Stubborn fat on top of the knees.The kind you can grab and do a Popeye the sailor man impression with. What can we do to minimize it? Here is what I found...
1)Reduce body fat
Exercise and eat right to help reduce your overall body weight. It’s nearly impossible to spot-reduce any specific area without major surgery – including your knees – but if you focus on lowering your overall body fat you will naturally reduce this area as well.
2)Lessen Sodium Intake
Reduce the amount of sodium consumed in your diet. Sodium can cause water retention, which will result in an overall puffed-up look. A bit of sodium is necessary in any diet, so look for foods that are low-sodium and contain plenty of water as water helps to flush your system. Fill up on whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
3)Train Surrounding Muscles
Build muscle in the major areas surrounding your knees. If you focus on building up lean muscle mass in both your calves and your inner and outer thighs, this will help to make your knees look more slender and lend the appearance of less knee fat.Lunges and squats work great.Cardio is always important to help burn fat and to shed those extra pounds.Especially in your legs.
If you are happy with the rest of your body but can't get rid of that stubborn knee fat it is most likely water weight or hereditary.Remember to be happy with yourself, especially if you are always working hard to become better.Good luck!
