Lose Body Fat in Your Legs

 

 

Do you want to lose those thunder thighs? Your legs don't deserve to be covered up by unwanted excess fat. If you want to lose body fat in your legs you need to do more than a couple of simple leg exercises.

 

Don't get me wrong, a solid leg exercise routine will help you lose body fat in your legs, but there is a more effective approach. First, take a look at your whole body. I would bet a lot of money that you have excess fat on other parts of your body as well. So here's the kicker, the only way to effectively lose fat in your legs is to lose fat in other parts of your body as well.

 

When you workout your body uses energy (from the calories you put in your body) to fuel your exercise routine. It is impossible to tell your body to only use "energy" from your legs to complete whatever activity you are doing. Have you ever seen anybody with a ripped six-pack, but gigantic fatty legs? I didn't think so! Therefore in order to lose body fat in your legs you must lose body fat from other parts of your body as well (a nice little bonus).

 

Start a workout routine for the sole reason of boosting your metabolism. Boosting your metabolism and gaining more muscle all over your body is the easiest way to lose body fat in your legs.  The way to boost your metabolism through exercise is to have many high intensity but shorter workout's. For example, it would be better to do some high intensity sprints instead of a long jog around the track. This can apply in the weight room as well.  Try to limit the amount of time you rest in between each set, and focus on exercises that recruit many muscle groups.

 

A good way to do this is to pick two exercises that recruit different muscles (i.e. dead lift and pull-up) and go from one to another without taking a break. This will get your heart pumping and will boost your metabolism if done on a consistent basis. The best part is, you will lose body fat in your legs even while you are doing pull-ups or any other upper body exercise.

 

Remember no matter how hard you workout, you will never lose ANY body fat if you don't eat the right meals and snacks.
