Posted on 03. Apr, 2012 by Laura in Aerobic Exercise Advice
For many people looking to make changes to their body, their thighs and bottom are an area they would like to improve. Whether you want to lose weight, tone up or get rid of cellulite a targeted glutes and legs exercise added to your workout can help.
The appearance of cellulite, dimply skin on the butt, legs and thighs, is caused by fat cells pushing up to the surface of the skin. Around 90% of women have cellulite including celebs. Whilst you are are unlikely to be able to remove cellulite completely the correct diet and exercise routine can really help minimise its appearance.
- Eat plenty of lean protein and fresh fruit and vegetables - the usual healthy diet / weight loss rules apply, you need to make sure your body is not storing excess fat through calorie control and reducing carbs which release insulin and encourage fat storage
- Drink plenty of water - swapping sugary and caffeinated drinks for water will ensure your body is better hydrated and drinking water regularly throughout the day will flush your body of toxins
- Take cardio exercise - activities such as bike rides, swimming, speed walking and running will burn calories and raise your metabolism to burn off fat in the thighs and throughout your body
- Add a glutes and legs workout - specific targeted exercises such as lunges will help to tone your glutes and leg muscles whilst firming the skin.
A thermogenic fat burner such as Phen375 can also help when combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine. To shed just 1g of fat you need to burn an additional 3,500 calories per week (on top of your daily usage) or alternatively create a calorie deficit of 500 calories a day. By adding an effective fat burner supplement to your diet you will burn more calories throughout the day helping you reach this goal.
