The fact is that women's legs over time (and oftenand prematurely) become overgrown with fat, it is not only the wrong diet and sedentary lifestyle that are to blame. Our very purpose – to bear and give birth to children – is the main reason for this unpleasant fact for us. Nature has taken care of the fact that the human female, who, unlike other mammals, moves on two limbs and has a body unprotected by fur, could bear a fetus without risk. That is why she protected the baby inside the mother with a powerful layer of fat. And that is why most women store fat on their stomachs and hips. However, this fact, which brought Rubens into creative ecstasy, does not please us, but on the contrary, poisons our lives. And the modern way of life with refined foods, sedentary work (and leisure!) and movement more and more on wheels, not on foot, only aggravates the natural reality. It is difficult to argue with wise nature, and sometimes fraught with danger. But when the normal fat layer on a woman's body begins to "go beyond the limits", and there is clearly excess fat on the legs, or even cellulite, you need to take action. But how to remove fat from the legs? The answer to this burning question is unambiguous: eat less and move more. And it would also be nice to take special measures. For example, choose an appropriate diet, do a special massage and do effective exercises. And it would be even better if such measures were taken in combination. Are you satisfied with this answer? Then let's find out more about these methods of fighting fat on the legs. And at the same time, what fat is in our body.
What is adipose tissue?
Do you know about the most insidious property of fats?cells? They do not disappear! They only decrease in size! A person is already born with adipose tissue and even in the body of the thinnest person these cells are present in billions of quantities. Moreover, the fat cells themselves do not divide, that is, their number does not increase. When we gain weight, the fat cells grow, and our volumes increase. But if the size of the fat cells reaches a critical value, and they can no longer become larger, then the so-called precursor cells of adipose tissue begin to multiply. They are the ones that turn into full-fledged adipose tissue, and having become mature cells, they remain in our body forever. And then we are talking about a painful condition called obesity. So the amount of adipose tissue in the human body cannot decrease! But it can easily increase. But, fortunately, adipose tissue is able to decrease in volume and transform. And the fact is that a person has two types of fat - white and brown. White fat accumulates nutrients and participates in energy exchange, and brown fat is “responsible” for heat production. It is white fat that makes us fat. But it can turn into brown fat, thanks to complex chemical reactions, which are “triggered” by physical exercise. Now do you understand the benefits of exercise or jogging in the morning? As for the diet, it makes fat cells decrease in volume, which is why we lose weight when we follow a diet. And the benefit of massage is in the physical impact on fatty tissue, due to which it also decreases, that is, the so-called fat burning occurs. And now about the practical side of these methods of fighting fat on the legs.
Diet
When deciding to get rid of leg fat, firstall, you need to reconsider your diet. You can, of course, go on some kind of diet to lose weight, but it will only help you quickly lose weight and reduce the volume of any body parts, but, alas, not your legs. With such diets, the face, chest, arms become thinner, the stomach "sinks", but the fat on the legs does not decrease, and if it does, then very little. In order for the legs to start losing weight, you need a long-term diet, and this can only be a new diet without starvation. And this means that you need to give up all harmful (from the point of view of burning fat) products. All flour products from refined white flour. Coarse flour does not cause much harm to our slimness, unlike sweet buns, cakes and biscuits. All sweets, with the exception of honey. True, eating honey in unlimited quantities will not add to your slimness either, but still it is "safer" than sugar, candy and soda. Everything fatty and fried. A healthy and low-hazard fat is vegetable oil, but only in its natural "cold" form. Alcohol (no comments). Nutrition must be balanced. That is, your diet must include foods containing carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Carbohydrates are fruits, bread (rye or wholemeal), cereals, legumes. Proteins are dairy products, fish and meat (not fatty!). Fats are found in almost all foods except vegetables and fruits. And give preference in your new diet to fermented milk products, vegetables, cereals and fish. As a dessert, you can allow yourself fresh fruits, nuts and honey. And remember that only a long-term balanced diet, fractional meals and not eating at night will help get rid of fat on your legs.
Massage
This is a very effective procedure.You can, of course, start going to a professional massage therapist, but it is easy to do a foot massage yourself. Vacuum cups, which help get rid of cellulite, are especially effective for burning fat on the legs. You can buy them at a regular drugstore, and the instructions for using the cups correctly are described in detail in their instructions. Self-massage, for which you only need a special massage gel or cream and your own hands. Start the massage with stroking, warming up the tissues and preparing them for a more aggressive effect. Then move on to rubbing, tapping and squeezing. Grasping the tissue (not the skin!) with your palm, make intense pressing and simultaneously squeezing movements, moving your hands up the legs. Finish the session with relaxing stroking. Hydromassage, which can be done with the help of a shower, directing streams of water onto the legs, also from the bottom up. By the way, in the bathroom you can use a special massage brush or mitten, massaging soaped legs. By the way, hydromassage (as well as any other massage) is not only a useful procedure, but also a pleasant one.
Exercises
Try to forget about the elevator, walk morewalk, visit the pool. If your health and time allow, then start running in the mornings (or evenings) - this will definitely help remove fat from your legs. But for greater effect, do special exercises. Just keep in mind that most exercises train muscles and improve stretching. But there are also targeted exercises among them that help get rid of fat on the legs.
- Squats Squat, trying not to tear off the heels from the floor. Squats do shallow and unsharp. Squat until you feel very tired.
- Jump through the rope But the main condition of such an exercise is a full landing. Yes, and do not forget to wear a bra that supports your breasts well.
- Goose step Deeply squatting, walk around the room - it looks ridiculous, but it works effectively.
- Steps on the pope Another very strange exercise with good effect. Sit on the floor, stretch your legs and start making hips moving forward, forcing yourself to move forward.
- Waving your feet Standing straight, put your hand against the wall. First make a few swords straightened leg forward, a little sideways, a few back. Change your foot.
- Drops Stand up straight, with your legs together. Make one foot a wide step forward, bending it in the knee and transferring the weight of the body to the exposed leg. Return to the starting position. Make at least ten attacks for each leg.
For quick results, purchase for trainingspecial leggings with a sauna effect, or just tightly wrap your legs in cling film. In general, try to move as much as possible. Any dynamic load and even basic morning exercises will help you get rid of fat on your legs. Well, if you are a supporter of radical measures, then contact a cosmetology clinic, where a plastic surgeon removes fat using liposuction. But think very carefully before you dare to take this step! And do not forget that any intervention in the body does not pass without a trace. In the end, fat on the legs is a problem to a greater extent aesthetic. Just do not be lazy, just do not eat anything extra, just be more active, just be patient, persistent and do not expect instant results. And you will succeed! We advise you to read:
