Why did you lose 9 pounds, but your legs didn't move?
I had the same experience as you before I systematically studied fitness knowledge. When I first entered the gym, I only ate an apple and two pieces of toast through a lot of exercise, yoga, spinning, running and controlling dinner. I lost weight 10 kg for more than a month, but my legs didn't lose weight at all. Then I began to practice my legs intelligently and practice my leg training equipment every day. Of course, the result is still the same.

After I systematically studied fitness knowledge, I found out the reason why my legs became thicker rather than thinner, and see if you were caught.

First, losing weight doesn't necessarily make you look thin. Reducing fat will make you look thin. Dieting and plenty of exercise will help you lose weight quickly. The weight you lose includes your fat, muscle and water. Therefore, your body shape will not look like you have lost 9 pounds, your muscle mass will be less, your basal metabolism will also decline, and it will become easier to get body fat, which will make it more difficult to lose fat.

Second, where to lose weight, many people may have this idea. Practice legs and thin legs, practice stomach and thin abdomen. When you practice a certain part, you just increase its muscle mass and make it stronger. Just like I used to practice thin legs, instead of losing weight, I got stronger and stronger, making my leg muscles stronger than my hips. When practicing hips, the thigh muscles are mainly strength.

If you want thin legs, you can exercise your hip muscles. Hip muscles are plump, legs are thin, and hips lengthen the proportion of legs and look longer.

If you want to stovepipe, you should also know the type of leg thickness, whether it is fat or muscle. For the fat type, it is necessary to reduce fat. For the muscle type, don't do all kinds of squatting movements, such as squatting and squatting, because muscles are used in and discarded, and they will naturally decline and become thinner if they don't practice.

What is reduced is water. While losing weight, she will start from the upper body and then the limbs. These parts can be reduced first, and then start from the lower limbs. If you haven't felt the heat of the lower limbs, you will see that the rest of them are thin, and your legs are stubborn and firm.

Me too. The epidemic began to lose weight, and then lost 7/8 kg for more than a month, and the legs remained unchanged. At first, I was quite depressed. Later, I found that I do yoga or some aerobic exercise at home every day. Basically, my upper body moves a lot, and I don't stretch after exercise, but my legs are getting thicker and tighter [covering my face] [covering my face], and I started doing it recently. Then after every exercise, I insist on stretching and relaxing my muscles. I feel that the thigh root has lost a lot recently. I think the leg itself is a place where stubborn fat is easy to accumulate. Therefore, in addition to increasing the amount of exercise in my legs and stretching after exercise, I should usually walk or stand more and try to avoid sedentary.

There is a certain difference between reducing scale and reducing circumference. If you lose a lot of scales, your waistline will naturally become smaller. But it is normal and not difficult to lose weight quickly through low-calorie dieting. Only it contains most non-fat components such as water and muscle. If the ratio of fat to muscle does not change much, it is difficult to see the change of body shape.

Therefore, most of your 9 pounds are rapidly losing weight, which seems to be moving, but in fact, your body shape is not ideal. If you want to reduce the leg circumference, the best way is to reduce fat+shaping exercise.

Reducing fat is aimed at people with high body fat rate. If the body fat rate is normal, you can put more energy into shaping, improving thigh relaxation, improving compactness and increasing muscle lines, so that you can lose weight visually and girth.

Squat/lunge squat+leg abduction (for lateral muscles and gluteus medius)+leg flexion and extension;

There are many combinations of leg movements, abduction movements and post-flexion and extension movements. According to different parts of the leg, we need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Pay attention to the main strength of the hips, drive the legs and transmit the strength downwards, which is the key factor of the hips and legs;

2. Leg training should not be carried out every day, and muscle endurance needs time to recover;

3. Alternating aerobic exercise can increase the fat burning effect.

In addition to unarmed/weight-bearing strength training, novices can also choose shaping exercises, such as little red riding hood or beautiful ballet leg shaping. Pay attention to the shaping exercise to reduce the circumference, but the fat burning effect is average, so we must plan our diet reasonably.

Shaping exercises, like strength training, need the main strength of the hips. Don't exert too much force on your legs, so the lines of your legs are unsightly and easy to get hurt.

After exercise, you must stretch the leg muscles to improve flexibility, and at the same time, you can lengthen the leg muscle lines and improve muscle soreness.

You can't just lose weight and don't care about anything else, because the legs and meridians are easily blocked. It's best to find a beauty shop to dredge it up, or do some stovepipe aerobics yourself at ordinary times, which will better help you recover and do it in all directions to better achieve the desired effect.

Probably lost weight in the chest. ...

You may have a thin face, thin arms and thin stomach. If you want to slim your legs, massage your legs after exercise, otherwise you will easily have muscles.

I think it's impossible! It may not change significantly! Everyone's figure is different, just work hard.

Although we have never met, it is estimated that the part you care most about should be the most difficult part of losing weight. Generally speaking, it is difficult to improve the thigh root obviously if we only rely on dieting, and the thigh is related to our hip state. If you don't do some targeted training, there will basically be no great improvement in circumference.

If you want to lose weight, you must practice your hips, otherwise you won't lose weight.

In addition, weight is weight, losing some water and some fat, but shaping can adjust the proportion of muscle and fat.

What part of the exercise dissatisfied you? You know, people don't have to be thin to be beautiful. Jump rope if you want to be thin, and step on a bike if you want to be thin!
