Question
Hi,

i was wondering if you can tell me if there are any exercises out there that can help reduce the fat around my knee area? When i walk the fat on my knee area rubs together and it looks really tacky when i wear a skirt of shorts? I know that the fat around the knee area is often genetic and sometimes you can't do anything about it, but if you know of any tips to help reduce it would be great?

thanks.

Answer
You're right.  Genetics.  Choose different parents next time.

Keep walking, watch your diet, when you lose fat, it will come off from all over your body over time.  Unfortunately, there's no way to just lose fat from one particular area.  Wish there was.  

Hope this helps.
