Can squatting help you lose weight?

Everyone knows that horse stance is the most basic in Chinese martial arts, and generally speaking, practicing martial arts requires a solid body. What people nowadays want to know is whether the horse stance can help lose weight? Because in life everyone likes to lose weight by walking or running, and when they see people squatting the horse stance, they will be curious whether it also has the effect of losing weight. So, can squatting help you lose weight?

Half an hour cannot completely reduce your weight. Horse stance is generally a must-practice for people who practice Kung Fu. If you insist on practicing this for a long time, it should be effective in slimming your legs. One of the main purposes of weight loss is perseverance! I don't think so. Horse stance can only exercise your thigh muscles! It is best to use full-body exercise.

Many people who first practice this stance find it difficult to support their legs after practicing for three or two minutes. In order to satisfy the upper and lower locking or maintain the stance, they unconsciously gather the qi at the chest, which makes people feel suffocated and unbearable after a while. At this point, the practitioner either has to let out the air through his mouth, or has to quickly stop the exercise, gasping for breath. This shows that the overall endurance of beginners is relatively weak. Another point is that this method of exercise is a complete process for the human body. From the beginning of practicing, the muscles and internal organs of all parts of the body are fully exercised. Because from the outside to the inside, and from the inside to the outside, it is an organic whole. If any part of the body is weak, it will be impossible for people to stand in this posture for a long time at the beginning. On the other hand, if you practice this stance seriously, the functions of any part of your body will be improved accordingly as your skill level increases.

Steps/methods to slim down your legs

1. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and focus your weight on the center of your body. If you stand with your legs too wide, your center of gravity will be too low; if you stand with your legs too narrow, your center of gravity will be too high, both of which are not conducive to the following movements.

22. Maintain your center of gravity and stretch your hands out in front of your chest. This movement helps to stretch the muscles on both sides of the body and also helps to correct the center of gravity forward after squatting to avoid falling after squatting.

33. Half squat with your legs, but don’t squat too low. The appropriate angle is when your thighs feel sore. If it’s too low, your center of gravity will be unstable. If it’s too high, the force on your thigh muscles can’t meet the requirements of the horse stance, and your leg slimming will be ineffective.
