But what if looking at yourself in the mirror you understand that, compared to the wasp waist, the legs look a little fuller than you would like. How to slim your legs and hips? What I need to do?
Three basic principles to lose weight in the legs
There are three basic principles that must be followed to lose weight in the legs.
- Carrying out special exercises.
- The inclusion of certain foods in the diet.
- Carrying out individual procedures.
A little more detail on what to do to slim your legs.
1. Exercises to slim legs
jump the rope
During this exercise, the calves of the legs are seriously strengthened. Therefore, to the question: "How to slim your calves? ", The answer will be simple: "Jump rope! "Jumping also helps improve blood circulation and consequently burn excess fat. You should start with no more than 30 jumps a day on two legs. Gradually, the number of jumps can be increased and diversified by performing them through the rope forward, backward, alternately on each leg, etc. However, don't overdo it. Afterwards, 50 jumps a day will be enough.
Squatting
Daily squats will help you lose weight on your legs and hips. This exercise is less effective for losing weight in the calves of the legs, but will give better results to reduce the volume of the thighs. To achieve significant results, you need to squat at least 100 times a day. But pay attention! ! ! ! You can't do that many squats at once! This can damage the cartilage in your joints and lead to wear and tear. In this case, the knee joints are at risk of serious damage. You should do the exercise in small parts throughout the day. For example, the 100 squats per day can be divided into 5-10 times of 20-10 squats, respectively. In this case, an overload of the articular cartilage will not occur and the effect will be fully achieved.
By the way, the exercise "squats" can be replaced by going up the stairs. Just go up to the fourteenth floor a couple of times a day, go back down and you can skip the squats!
Few power loads
To increase the effectiveness of weight loss, you can perform the following strength exercise aimed at the muscular load of the thighs. Starting position, lying face down, arms extended along the body, legs together. First, slowly raise one leg as high as possible. We count to 10, and if it works, then to 20, then we also slowly lower the leg. We accept the starting position. After that, we do the same with the second leg. Then we rest, lying in the starting position. During the break we also count to 10–20. Then we repeat the exercise with each leg in turn. We perform the exercise at least 5 times. However, you do not need to get too carried away by the strength loads of the legs, otherwise, despite the intense burning of adipose tissue, due to the increase in muscle mass, the legs will still look quite massive.
By the way, the exercise "bike" contributes to less muscle building, but a more intense burning of fat in the legs.
Turning the pedals
The exercise bike can be performed while lying in bed. To do this, simply lie on your back, raise your legs, and. . . Let's go! By the way, if possible, then a makeshift and imaginary bike can be replaced by a completely real exercise bike. Only, in any case, it should "go" slowly. The main thing is not speed, but effort! It's no wonder they say, "The quieter you go, the further you'll go! " In this case, it's more relevant than ever!
All the above exercises will help to achieve the desired result if you do them systematically. However, you shouldn't expect an instant effect.
But how to quickly lose weight on the legs? For example, an important event is expected in the near future, where I really want to show myself in all its glory! Let's try to fix our legs in just one week.
For the fastest results, in addition to exercise, you will need to follow a special diet.
2. Inclusion in the diet of certain foods
The loss of legs is facilitated by the use of the following drinks: milk, unsweetened tea (black or green), milk tea. Milk tea is, in fact, green tea, brewed with milk and infused for a time with added honey. In addition, the use of mineral water in an amount of at least two liters per day and any juice, except grape juice, also helps to reduce the volume of the legs.
Recommended foods for thinning legs: low-fat cottage cheese, any fruit, roasted potatoes, boiled chicken (preferably boiled chicken breasts).
Of course, you should avoid eating high-calorie and fatty foods. It is better to wait a week only with the specified products, and then the result will please you. These food products can be combined in different proportions and combined according to your taste.
3. Carrying out individual procedures
Massages and body wraps should not be neglected. The fact is that the massage helps to relax the muscles and the wrap helps to warm them up. The combined effect of these procedures leads to intense fat burning and, as a result, weight loss from the legs.
In addition to observing all the rules, it must be taken into account that the legs sometimes seem fuller than they really are, not because of an excess of adipose tissue, but because of swelling. This generally applies to people with a "sedentary job". In this case, the ordinary walk will come to the rescue. And the more you walk the better. Walking helps not only to maintain the tone of the legs, but also to improve and strengthen the body as a whole.
In addition, any weight loss measure that is not dangerous for the body contributes to the weight loss of the legs, since with a decrease in weight, our body decreases in volume everywhere, even the legs also lose weight.
Now you know exactly what to do to lose weight on your legs. It's up to you! Good luck!
