Can squats slim down your legs?

As high-rise buildings are springing up like mushrooms in modern society, more and more friends are choosing elevator apartments. The time spent using the legs to climb stairs is getting less and less. Over time, the legs do not get enough exercise, which will cause a lot of fat to accumulate in the legs, making the legs look ugly or thick. Therefore, slimming the legs becomes a problem they have to face. So can you slim down your legs by doing squats? In the next section, please join me in finding out.

The key points of squat

The most valuable part of squat exercise is the squat-up phase. During this phase, the focus is on the legs, and the center of gravity should be maintained throughout the entire squat-up process.

Preparation: Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, back straight, head up and looking forward, arms extended forward.

Squat: Use your legs and legs to push forward while exhaling. Keep your head up and imagine pushing your legs hard to push your head upward. Instead of lifting your hips first and then straightening your back, slowly bend your knees and squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground, keeping your back straight.

Getting up: Stable, feet cannot move. After the body is upright, the quadriceps continue to exert force and contract extremely to keep the knee joint in a hyperextended position for 1-2 seconds. Stand up slowly, keeping your back straight, until you return to the starting position.

Standards for squats

1. Arched back

2. Look straight ahead

3. Keep your weight on your heels

4. Good depth - more than below the water level

5. Keep your chest up

Squat method for slimming legs

1. Stand with your legs open, with the distance between your legs slightly wider than shoulder width. This is the neutral position for the squat. It is best to stand straight with the inner ankles, knees, shoulders and top of the head as if a thin line was drawn.

2. Lean your upper body forward and press your hips diagonally downward and backward, as if you want to bend the hip joint to the body into two parts. Place your hands on the inside of your knees and use your hands to push your knees outward. Gently stretch the muscles around your hip joint and slowly press your knees outward.

3. Same as squatting, press your hips down diagonally backward as if you are going to sit on a chair behind you. At this time, the upper back should be straight, and starting from the hip joint, the body should be bent into two parts. Then return to the posture of action 1, and then slowly repeat actions 1 to 3 10 times.

Through the description of the above paragraphs, I believe that most friends already have a more perfect answer to the question of whether squats can help lose weight on the legs. In fact, in our daily life, we only need to take out a little time and stick to doing squats. It can not only exercise our legs well and make them more slender and well-proportioned, but also exercise other functions of our body. Why not do it?
