Do a lot of aerobic exercise, such as running.

Running is good, but not necessarily the best choice.

But squatting is different.

0 1

Squats won't take up much of your time.

For people who lose weight, a running time is at least about 30 minutes, even 1 hour, and an effective squat training may only take 10 minute.

02

Squat has less influence on joints than running.

Long-term running has a great influence on knee wear, especially on hard ground (cement ground). Squats do relatively little damage to your knees, unless you have a problem with your movements. So you can use a squat exercise instead of one or two runs, which can not only achieve the training effect, but also effectively protect your knees in the long run.

03

Squats can stimulate more muscles in the body.

Admittedly, running is a good exercise, which can exercise heart and lung ability, contribute to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, and also exercise leg muscles, but these stimuli are still relatively small compared with squats.

The muscles stimulated by squat include quadriceps femoris, hamstring, gluteus flexor, gluteus maximus, adductor, abdominal muscles and lower back.

The more muscles you stimulate, the more calories you burn, because even if you don't exercise, they can help you burn calories and you can eat more.

04

You can add more carbohydrates after squatting.

Running for a long time belongs to aerobic exercise, and more is to mobilize fat to supply energy for the body. Squat belongs to anaerobic exercise, and the energy source is muscle glycogen, which comes from carbohydrates stored in the body.

Many friends who lose weight are worried that they will consume too much carbohydrates during the process of losing weight. If you are worried about this, do more squats and don't worry about eating too much.

Because the carbohydrates you eat will make up for the carbohydrates you consume when you squat, you don't have to worry about turning them into fat and storing them, but only if you eat the right amount of carbohydrates.

05

Squat will make you in better shape.

If you only get a figure after running for a long time, it may be a thin, weak and flat figure, just like a marathon runner. Squat figures are like sprinters, and their hips are very upturned and sexy.

06

Squatting waistline looks thinner than running waistline.

I don't know if my friends who mainly lose weight by running have found that when you lose weight by running, do you always feel loose in your waist and abdomen?

In fact, this is the deficiency of squat practice. After doing squats, your waist and abdomen will be tighter and no longer slack. If you want to slim your waist, please strengthen squat practice, especially for girls who want a funnel-shaped figure.

07

Squat exercises will make your abdomen stronger.

Squat is a compound action, which can stimulate abdominal muscles. When you lift a barbell to do a squat, be sure to stabilize the abdominal core group. Here is an example. Many bodybuilders have strong abdominal muscles, but few of them specialize in abdominal muscles. In fact, they all exercise abdominal muscles indirectly through compound exercises such as squatting and hard pulling.
