How to Get Rid of Knee Fat

Many men and women have excess fat on the inside or back of their knees. This area can be hard to reduce as exercises relating to the knee in regards to toning are limited. Learn how to get rid of knee fat using the following tips.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Exercise regimen
• Eating plan

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.

Tips & Warnings

• Allow yourself 4-6 weeks using these tips to see an improvement in knee fat.
