Can leg stretching help you lose weight?

In life, many people are in a sub-healthy state, and people will resort to physical exercise. Leg stretching is a common exercise during exercise. Many people feel that they are overweight and want to lose weight by stretching their legs. But some people say this is not okay. So can stretching your legs help you lose weight? Let’s see how the editor answers this question.

Stretching the legs can make the leg muscles more slender, longer and elastic. And in the process of stretching muscles and ligaments, the muscles will directly mobilize the fat close to the muscles to burn the fat. If you persist in doing this every day, you will definitely achieve good results. Most people find leg stretching painful and uncomfortable, and find it difficult to persist. Even those who can persist may not necessarily do it correctly.

Notes on leg press:

1. Leg press:

If you don't have a bar at home, you can lift your legs onto a higher and more stable object, preferably one that is slightly higher than your hips. First, stand upright with your legs together, then lift one leg, place your heel on the table, and curl your toes. The knees of both legs cannot bend, and your upper body is upright, with your hips tucked in and your waist straightened. You can place your hands on the knee of the leg that is being pressed, or on an object that you can reach in front of you. Then bend your body forward and bring your chest close to your knees. Many people use their heads to try to look down as much as possible, but this method greatly affects the effect. Your full attention should be placed on the muscles and ligaments in the back of your thigh, feeling the pain and stretch in the back of your thigh. Gradually increase your strength and intensity, then switch legs.

2. Side leg press:

Stand sideways facing a support object, with your left leg straight and your toes slightly turned outward. Raise your right leg, place your heel on the support object, and curl your toes. Be careful not to bend your knees. If beginners cannot stand steadily, they can choose a lower table, but the movements should be kept as standard as possible. The hips should not protrude forward or backward, and the upper body should be upright and pressed in the lateral direction. People with better flexibility can reach their toes with their other hand. Gradually increase the strength and feel the soreness and stretch in the waist and inner thighs.

3. Back leg stretch:

Stand with your back to the support, legs straight, toes pointed outward, and use one hand to support the table behind you. Stand upright with your left leg, lift your right leg back and place it on the table behind you, while turning your body slightly to the left and front. Place the back of your foot on a support and keep your foot straight. Likewise, the knees of both legs cannot be bent. Keep your waist straight and vibrate and press backwards. Feel the stretch in your lower back and front thigh muscles.

After stretching your legs, it is best to do some small kicking exercises as an auxiliary exercise to make your muscles stronger and more elastic. After straight leg stretching, do 3 sets of straight kicking, 10 in each set; after side leg stretching, practice side kicking; after back leg stretching, practice back kicking (same number of sets as above). While kicking, you can lightly hold on to something for support, keep your waist straight, and kick lightly and powerfully.

The above content is the answer to the question of whether leg stretching can help lose weight. I believe everyone will get more information from it. There are many ways to lose weight, so we need to understand these ways well. If we want to lose weight in a more scientific way, we still have to insist on physical exercise. Finally, I hope we all stay healthy and safe!
