Can squats slim your legs?

In life, I often hear many friends complain that slimming legs is the most difficult part of losing weight. Many friends have spent too much time and money on it, but the results are very unsatisfactory. The strong work pressure does not allow them to have more time to try more ways to slim down their legs again and again, so can squats help slim down your legs? Facing this problem, let us now move on to today's discussion.

Squats consume a lot of calories, so during the training process, your body is "losing" weight, but you have to remember that this "losing weight" is just an illusion, you still have to eat to recover, otherwise your physical health will be affected. Whether you have thick legs or thin legs, the key is still in diet control: if you control your diet, squats will make your legs thinner, but it will be the whole body, not just a part; if your diet increases, squats will increase muscle. For women, this takes time.

Squat for beginners

Wrong movements will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will also cause sports injuries. Don't worry about whether your knees are beyond your toes. Just keep your back straight and your knees and toes in the same direction. Then sit back! It will feel right.

Weighted squat

You can use any weight you want, but be sure to keep your back straight and your butt down.

Common postures

Sit down with dumbbells in hand and back straight.

Straight-leg deadlift! The best move for training the biceps femoris at the back of the thigh!

1. The muscle mass of the lower body accounts for more than 70% of the average person's total body muscle mass. The quadriceps femoris (the one at the front of the thigh) is the largest muscle in the body. If you want to lose weight by increasing your basal metabolic rate, leg training is definitely the best choice because it works your thighs, buttocks, and entire core muscles at the same time.

2. Compared with other leg movements, squats can better improve your flexibility and coordination. Since squats are an exercise that spans two major joints in your body (hips and knees), they can improve your overall coordination and stability more than if you simply train a single part, such as the front of the thigh, the back of the thigh, or the inner thigh.

I believe that through the above discussion, most of our friends already have a more perfect answer to the question of whether squats can slim down the legs. I would also like to add that leg fat is more difficult to metabolize and burn, so we need to put in more effort, and therefore we need to achieve it through squats for a long time. But I also hope that friends will not be too eager for success, but follow the standard movements of squats, otherwise they will strain their knee joints.
