TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Some people are willing to do various ways to reduce thighs and hips they. This is because small thighs and hips are considered a proportional body shape.
Launching Insider, basically we can’t reduce fat in only one area of the body. If you want to reduce the thighs and hips, then we must also lose weight overall.
In addition, it is important to know that everyone has a different fat distribution. This is influenced by genetics. Thus, some people may not be able to shrink their thighs and hips despite overall weight loss.
Jessica Mazzucco, certified fitness trainer and founder of The Glute Recruit, suggests several ways to reduce thigh and hip fat.
The first way is to have a healthy diet. In general, reducing the consumption of refined carbohydrates and added sugars commonly found in baked goods, frozen foods or potato chips can aid weight loss.
While good foods to eat include vegetables and fruits that are low in calories and high in fiber, lean protein sources such as nuts, whole grains and low-fat dairy products.
The second way is to do cardio. According to Mazucco, this exercise can help burn a lot of calories.
Studies show that cycling, sprinting or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are quite effective in reducing body fat. This type of exercise can even increase metabolism.
Andy Stern, certified personal trainer and founder of the Rumble boxing gym, suggests another way to shrink thighs and hips by building up muscle through strength training. This method can strengthen the legs and make them look slimmer. Some of the strength training Stern recommends are sumo squat, cursty lunges and goblet squat.
