How to Make Knees Look Less Knobby
Humans are not perfect in the truest sense of the word. Many times these matters are more or less insignificant and can be over looked or even corrected. Having knobby knees is nothing unusual and many people have these. They are a part of the bone structure.
In order to correct the issue, one can have surgery. However, there are exercises which can be useful in getting rid of the problem or to improve them to some extent. The exercises are simple and can be done quite easily. One must do them consistently in order to get good results.

Lunges
These are a good exercise for the knobby knees. Simply stand with your feet apart from each other at the width of your shoulders. Take a step forward with your hands on your hips. Now lower your body until your left knee makes a right angle. Use your leg muscles to slowly raise your left knee and keep the upper body aligned with your knee. Repeat the exercise ideally 30 times per set and do three sets.

Heel Raises
Heel raises are simple. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. To maintain balance, place your hands on your hips. Now lift you heels from the ground to the point where you are standing only on your toes. Stay in this position for five seconds before gradually coming down. You can easily do three sets of 40 each day to help your knobby knees.

Straight Leg Raising
Sit with your back against a wall in an upright position. Bent you right leg in a way that you right foot is flat on the floor. Gradually raise your left leg straight and lift it from the ground. Stay in this position for a few minutes. Gradually bring it down and do the same with the other leg. Three sets based on 20 repetitions are a good idea for one day.
