What parts of the body can be reduced by squatting?

Now we live in an Internet society, where you can buy what you need without leaving your home, so many people live a relatively easy life. However, it is precisely because of this situation that many people's bodies are in sub-healthy condition. Some people choose to go to the gym to exercise. In the gym, many people are repeatedly doing squat exercises. It is said that squats are very good for our health. So, what parts of the body do squats reduce? Let's find out together.

Friends who like fitness and weight loss will more or less know the benefits of squats. Yes, squats can slim down your legs.

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. It's the entire upper body that leans forward, not the spine that bends forward. It might be OK when you do squats with bare hands, but if you do it 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 the box is pushed forward by your knees and off your toes during the squat, your knees may be compromised. 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.

According to the above introduction, we know that squats can help us slim down our legs, but the correct movement is very important. Squats will have the effect of slimming down our legs only when the movement is correct. Otherwise, it will not be effective and may even cause harm to your body. Don’t expect to see results right away; you’ll be surprised to find out if you persist.
