The knees can appear bulky and swollen due to the accumulation of fat or excess flesh, disrupting the graceful lines of a woman's legs, known as "doughy knees". So how can we reduce this unsightly excess flesh that affects our aesthetics? French fitness experts offer the following suggestions:
1. Engage in knee-focused exercises
Activities such as jogging, aerobics, high jumps, long jumps, and swimming can help. Apply intentional force during these exercises to accelerate the consumption of fat around the knees, ultimately toning the area.
2. Ladies with the means can consider daily hiking
Start gradually, increasing from a few minutes a day to several tens of minutes. Increase the frequency and speed of stair climbing. When hiking, make an effort to engage the knee joints and keep the legs straight.
3. Vary jump rope positions
Jump rope exercises can be done anytime, anywhere, regardless of weather, time, or environment. However, it is important to continuously vary positions to avoid excessive impact on the knees, ensuring both exercise and safety.
4. Swimming
Swimming is the most effective exercise for achieving beautiful legs and knees, with breaststroke being particularly quick and noticeable. Swimming is very safe, as it does not cause knee injuries due to excessive strain.
5. Consistently perform knee exercises
Office workers can utilize their break time to do knee exercises, such as squats. Squat down with legs together, then stand up. Try to use the knee joints to exert force and lift the body when standing up. Do 30 continuous squats each time, and repeat this exercise three times a day.
6. Regularly massage or tap the knees
Apply appropriate pressure to accelerate blood circulation around the knees, effectively reducing fat accumulation.
