Losing fat on the back of your thighs: reps or weight?
Are 8 reps for building muscle and 15 reps for getting lean? REALLY?
This is one of the biggest MYTHS IN WEIGHT TRAINING!
Doing more reps won’t speed up fat loss!
Remember… Every workout, if prescribed correctly, is designed to build lean muscle and lose fat 😉 What will enhance those results—or not—is your diet 😉 There is no well-designed workout, of course, that will “decrease” your lean muscle mass… believe me 😉
Fat loss happens uniformly… not in specific areas… it’s impossible to lose fat from just one part of your body.
Weight training to reduce fat on the back of your thighs
What will help you lose weight and fat is combining a WELL-PRESCRIBED weight training program with a diet aimed at consuming fewer calories than you burn each day. This puts your body in a calorie deficit, so it will draw on its fat stores to make up the difference.
It’s important to note that the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn each day, because muscle requires more energy to function. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn daily. That’s why weight training is so important in the weight-loss process!
To lose fat on the back of your thighs, focus on intensity!
Training intensity is the decisive factor in losing fat on the back of your thighs. Think about women who aren’t athletes: they usually have less time to train each week, so their workouts need to be high-intensity to help them push past their limits and achieve the results they want.
Intensity is also measured by the calories burned per unit of time. In other words, the more calories you burn per unit of time, the higher the exercise intensity.
Women don’t find it easy to build muscle, right? Still, many people are afraid to train hard because they don’t want to get “big” like men. Stop focusing on size and think about body shape.
Aesthetically speaking, muscles are what give the body a beautiful shape. So, increase your training weight to reach your goal. Then keep lifting.
Remember that one of the biggest mistakes in weight training is not having a clear goal.
