How to Lose Weight & Lower Body Fat

How to Lose Weight & Lower Body Fat

The lower body is home to one of the biggest muscle groups that you have. Adding muscle here will both assist with weight loss and give your butt, thighs, and calves a more toned look. Muscle burns more calories per day than fat, even while at rest, as well as taking up less space. Working out these parts packs a double punch: you'll have a calorie-burning powerhouse in your lower body, and it will look more well-defined.

Instructions

    1

    Start with your diet. Examine it carefully to see that you are not taking in more calories than you need. If you are, any efforts you make to tone your lower body are likely to be sabotaged. Cut back on calories from poor food choices wherever you can,and begin adding more lean protein. This will assist with keeping your hunger pains satisfied, as well as prepare your body for the new muscle that you are going to put on.

    2

    Start an exercise program, if you haven't already. You can target your lower body for toning, but not for fat loss. You cannot chose the area in which you lose fat -- you have to lose it all over. Do a combination of cardiovascular exercise and weight lifting. Choose whichever cardio activity you like. Use machines such as treadmills or bikes, perform aerobics, or just go running. Work out with free handheld weights, or use specialized machines. Work to burn calories and build up muscle all over so that your body uses the stored energy in your excess fat.

    Tone your lower body. Stretch each area before you work out. Choose moves that specifically target the butt, thighs, and calves. Squats, dead lifts, and donkey kicks work well for the butt. The thighs respond to lunges, side-kicks, and hamstring lifts. Tiptoe stands are appropriate for the calves, and if you choose running or walking as your cardio workout, this part of your body should look lean and toned in no time.
