Generally, many people have thick legs caused by excess body fat, but there is also a type of thick legs caused by excess muscle. So how can people with thick body fat lose weight? There is less fat but more muscle, resulting in bigger legs, so how can we slim down the legs? First, we make a personal evaluation and use a simple method to see how thick the fat layer on our feet is.
We pinch our legs hard to see how much you can lift. If you can only see a layer of skin when you lift it up, it means you have very little fat and very low sebaceous glands, then your legs are thick muscular legs. If there is a thick layer of fat, it means that there is too much fat, causing thick legs.
If you are the fat type with thick legs, then there will be a lot of room for slimming down your legs. What we need to make sure is that we do energy in order to store our muscles. If we only do aerobic exercise and lose weight, our sebaceous glands will always be lowered, and the appearance of them from the outside will not look good to people.
We should try to preserve our muscles as much as possible. After doing 40 minutes of caloric exercise, we can choose to do intermittent anaerobic exercise. If we don't want to do it, we can do 40 minutes of aerobic exercise and use an appropriate aerobic heart rate to achieve the best weight loss effect. If you can't lose weight after doing this, you can also take advantage of sports supplements, such as our protein powder, branched chain amino acids, and L-dextrin.
The second is how to reduce muscular legs. The phosphagen used for the first 20 minutes of aerobic exercise may be provided by our body's blood sugar and glycogen, and its share is very high.
And from 20 to 50 minutes, your body's fat will begin to be activated. After 50 minutes, if you continue to do such long-term aerobic exercise to lose weight, your body will activate your protein, which is muscle dephosphatogen, which is the body's phosphatogen system.
If aerobic training time is too long, more than 50 minutes or even more than an hour, your muscle phosphagen will begin to be dissolved later. It is very difficult to lose weight with muscular legs. It requires strong self-control to complete the indicators. Self-control is very important. But it is best not to consume muscles casually. Muscles are hard-earned.
The editor does not recommend giving up muscle training. We need to reduce fat first to see if the legs are still thick. 70% to 80% of people have fat-type thick legs, so we need to make a distinction first.
Controlling diet can help us have a stronger body and stronger fitness goals. One living habit creates a certain body shape. Sometimes we need to change to another living habit. Whether you need to take action or not depends on you, and whether you insist on it or not depends on your self-control ability.
