How to lose weight by squatting

Obesity is a taboo for girls, and they all hope to have a slimmer figure, so losing weight becomes what every girl wants to do. So can women really lose weight by squatting? Squats can consume a lot of body fat, and are very suitable for girls to do such exercises. At the same time, women also need to master certain postures when squatting, and squatting in the correct way can achieve the effect of weight loss.

Friends who like fitness and weight loss will more or less understand the benefits of squats. Yes, squats can slim your legs! But there must be more people who can't wait to know what the correct posture is.

First, please prepare a cube-shaped object whose height does not exceed your belly button. It can be a box, a chair, or a very low table, etc., as long as one of its faces is perpendicular to the floor. As shown in the picture below, it is 100% effective in preventing your knees from going beyond your toes. But please don't use the wall, otherwise you may end up falling onto the floor because there is no room to lean forward.

Stand facing the box with your toes resting on the bottom of the box. Keep your upper body straight, chest up, abdomen contracted, and then raise your hands to shoulder height. The purpose of this movement is to pull your body's center of gravity forward and also to prevent you from sitting down on the floor.

Take a deep breath, then slowly sit your butt back as if there was a chair behind you. Your upper body will lean forward slightly to maintain balance, but the emphasis is on the squatting movement of sitting back rather than leaning forward. Notice that your abdominal muscles remain contracted and your upper body remains straight.

The first thing to note is that please remember that your lower back muscles should be contracted and straightened. The entire upper body leans forward, not the spine bending forward (picture below). It might be OK to do squats with bare hands, but if you do them with weights on your shoulders, your waist will be in danger.

The second thing to note is that your knees should only be lightly touching the box, so if your knees push the box forward and away from your toes during the squat... your knees may also be gone. Please cut it off and start over.

Your weight should be on your heels, not your toes, from start to finish. Inhale slowly as you squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, then slowly pull them back up. Exhale slowly during the retraction process, try to maintain a constant speed, and avoid squatting down quickly and then bouncing up. After completing the movement, your posture should be the same as the preparation movement before squatting. Remember to pull your buttocks back and don't leave them behind.

Finally, I want to remind you that correct movement is more important than how much weight you carry. Basically, as long as you use the correct form (that is, keep your back straight from beginning to end and your stomach and back contracted), you can feel like you've achieved a good workout without having to carry any weight. You can stand up from your chair and try it now.
