Tips for losing thigh and butt fat
🏋🏻How can you lose thigh and belly fat without losing your butt❓
⁉️ But what should you prioritize? Muscle growth or weight loss? It’s not impossible to work on both, but in general, the focus is on one of them. Muscle growth is usually the first priority…
Why? Our bodies use energy sources all day long! If we increase this demand, the body will need to use even more energy sources. And do you know which energy source has the greatest energy-generating potential?
Fat!
That’s why the priority for losing belly fat without losing your butt is to increase your metabolism!
📌 And… our goal is to increase lean muscle mass, which uses much more energy! The best approach is a workout that engages the whole body, including the upper and lower body!
If your diet is on track for this goal, you’ll start seeing results during the muscle-building phase! And once you’ve achieved what you want, you can focus on losing belly fat. BUT since spot fat reduction doesn’t exist, you’ll have to lower your body fat percentage.
Final tip
Prioritize compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and leg presses!
Basic exercises to avoid losing your thighs and butt
The usual glute exercises… free-weight squats, lunges, leg presses, Romanian deadlifts… Nothing complicated!
Remember: in a glute workout, it’s important to understand that all compound movements, such as squats, single-leg lunges, and leg presses, work both the back and front of the thigh (quadriceps), as well as the glutes!
Simply put: whenever you use a compound exercise to train your “legs,” you’re also training your butt… and vice versa.
There are variations we can do to emphasize one area or another, but it isn’t possible to completely isolate the muscles mentioned in these compound exercises!
And training your LOWER BODY on consecutive days will NOT provide any benefits!
