Can squats help you lose weight?

With the constant temptation of various kinds of food in modern society, many friends eat barbecue, hot pot, skewers, dry pot and the like as midnight snacks. This kind of lifestyle prevents fat from being metabolized, so it all accumulates in people's bodies and causes weight gain. Therefore, finding a quick and convenient way to lose weight becomes the problem they have to face. So can squats help lose weight? Next, please join me in today's study.

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 muscle 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, squat can better improve your flexibility and coordination. Since the squat is a movement that spans two major joints in your body (hips and knees), it can improve your overall coordination and stability better than simply training a single part, such as the front, back or inner thigh. In addition, for some people who have poor posture due to poor flexibility in the back or back of the thighs, the correct squat posture can improve your flexibility and fundamentally correct the problem of incorrect body posture.

3. The muscles of the lower body are the second heart of the human body. Your blood pressure is highest at the moment your heart squeezes the blood out, and by the time it starts to flow back, it has already weakened a lot. Especially your legs, which are farthest from your heart and located at the lowest point in your body. The contraction of your leg muscles can help your blood circulate smoothly and reduce the amount of fluid that accumulates in your lower limbs and makes it difficult to move. You'll have more energy and be less likely to tire.

4. Strong leg muscles reduce your risk of knee injuries. In short, strong leg muscles protect your knees, just like strong core muscles protect your spine.

5. Squats are fun. Every time I finish doing squats, I always have an inexplicable feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, although the reason may be just the pleasant mood caused by the secretion of endorphins after sweating exercise.

I believe that after studying the above paragraphs, most friends already have a clear answer to the question of whether squats can help lose weight. In fact, squatting is a very simple exercise in daily life. It can be done without spending any money or taking up more space. So here I hope that my friends can follow the above method to do squats to lose weight. This healthy and safe way of weight loss is worth practicing for everyone.
