Exercise is as important a factor in weight loss as dieting, it helps you burn more calories and tone up. It’s also handy if you can build some muscle, muscle burns calories thats why you should add some resistance training to your fat loss regime.
Your legs contain the biggest muscles on your body and you use them when all the time especially when walking and cycling, if you want to lose fat you should do some resistance training on your legs.
Here’s a couple of leg exercises you can do anywhere with or without weights:
Squats
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, hands by your waist or on your head. Bend at your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor – as you lower yourself try and keep your knees from going over your toes.
Muscle groups used Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Gluteals and your Abs a little bit aswell.
Walking Lunge
Stand up straight, lunge forwards with your right leg, walk forwards with your left leg into another lunge. Make sure your foot is directly under your knee when in the lunge position.
