Don’t you just hate it when you can’t fit into those skinny jeans? While we all want to look skinny and confident in whatever we are wearing, truth is, it takes a lot of work in order to completely lose leg fat.
Nevertheless, toning your legs till they’re perfect is not mission impossible. With the right moves, you can achieve the results you want to see right from the comfort of your own home. Read on to find out what these moves are:
1. Squats
Squats are a great exercise for developing the muscles in the lower body, and giving the appearance of having toned legs. Here’s how to perform a basic squat:
Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Stick your butt out and lower down till your bum is slightly below your knees. Return to standing position with control.
2. Lunges
In the same starting position as squats below, take a step forward, keeping your arms akimbo. Lower your knee on your back leg till your knee on your forward leg is forming a 90 degree angle. Raise your body back to starting position with control.
3. Side leg raise
Lying on your side with your arm underneath your head, place the palm of your other arm on the floor in front of your chest. Keeping both legs straight, with your lower leg flat with the floor, extend your upper leg as high as possible, hold it for a while and hen return to starting position with control.
4. Cardio
To burn ft in any way, you’re going to need to do some cardio exercise. The preceding moves aren’t designed to help you burn fat, they’re designed to help you strengthen your muscles and improve your appearance.
However, to truly get rid of fat, you’ll need to do sufficient amounts on cardio. Preferably, you want to do high intensity interval training, which is proving to burn more calories, faster than any other type of cardio exercise.
