Can squatting exercise really help you lose weight?

As people's dietary standards are getting better and better in real life, there are more and more food choices. The irregular eating habits of many people will easily lead to symptoms such as obesity, poor physical fitness and sub-health. Especially modern young people, because they are often busy with work and ignore their physical health, they need to choose suitable exercise methods to lose weight and keep fit. So can squatting help you lose weight? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

Strictly speaking, squatting should be considered an exercise that we humans do frequently, and most people can do it. I believe many people who have done squats know that generally after doing a few, we will feel very tired. This is actually a characteristic of squats. Squatting can help you lose weight.

Squatting exercise for weight loss effect: Animals have a rule that the parts that are exercised frequently will not accumulate fat, while the parts that are seldom exercised will grow fat. For example, the muscles in the fingers and toes of the hands and feet, the backs of the hands and feet, the forearms, and calves are always moving, so very little fat is attached. In this respect, cows, pigs, chickens, etc. are all the same, and of course humans are the same. In contrast, all animals tend to accumulate fat around their service parts, like their abdomens, because they get little exercise.

There are two ways to lose weight: one is to reduce food intake; the other is to burn calories through exercise without reducing food intake. Using the first method of reducing food intake, 60% of the weight lost is fat, while the other 40% is muscles and bones, which are very important to the human body. When doing squats for the purpose of losing weight, you can achieve the same goal by simply increasing the number of squats.

Squatting is associated with longevity: the number of healthy centenarians is increasing, and most of them live in small towns outside of big cities, where toilets are squat-style. Moreover, they are engaged in farming, and pulling out seedlings and weeding are indispensable in their daily life. With this kind of life, you have to squat countless times a day. It is this squatting action that strengthens the waist and legs and becomes a health care method to eliminate diseases. Why do women live longer? There are different opinions. Perhaps it has a lot to do with the squatting action women do in their daily lives.

How to squat: The correct posture should be that from the beginning to the end of the movement, the torso from the head to the waist should always remain straight and stretched, and the buttocks should be sticking out behind the body when the abdomen is contracted.

1. Stand up straight with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart.

2. Take a deep breath and slowly bend your knees.

3. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the ground.

4. Then start to exhale while slowly straightening your thighs and standing up.

5. Repeat this 10 times (each 10 times is a set).

6. After completing a set, rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then do another set.

7. Do 3 sets a day, a total of 30 times. After gradually adapting, you can increase the number of squats until you can squat 30 times continuously in one set.

As long as you persist, there will be no rebound. Reasonable diet and moderation are very important. Combine it with exercise, eat mainly vegetables, and generally the diet intake should not exceed the exercise consumption. You will achieve the effect if you persist. In addition, it is advisable to drink a glass of boiled water (100 ml) before exercise.

I believe that after reading the above article, all friends have already had a certain understanding of whether squatting can help lose weight. I hope that everyone will warm up before doing squatting exercises, do squatting exercises appropriately, replenish the body with water after exercise, and eat more fruits with high water content. In addition, friends who want to lose weight should control their diet while exercising.
