Slim legs

Slim legs

An attractive body always has slender legs, especially for women. Not too thick nor too thin they should be; easily defined and taut but not too muscular.

If toned and slender legs are what you’re looking for, you should first pay attention to your body fat percentage. Depending on your age, normal body fat percentage for women is between 25 and 30 percent. If it is higher, it should be reduced through sensible nutrition and regular sports activities.

Not only for reasons of vanity, but also maintaining good health.

In addition to selectively reduced calorie dieting, sports and exercise plays an essential role in acquiring slender legs. Targeted leg training will kill two birds with one stone: On the one hand, the leg muscles will be strengthened and streamlined, on the other hand this exercise trains the lower extremities and in particular burns more calories. Two thirds of the total body musculature sits in the legs and buttocks. If these muscles are trained for example, when running or jumping – calories will tumble. Legs look defined and remain long and slim.

Targeted leg training is possible not only on the Treadmill, but also when using a leg-press on a Multi-Gym; slender legs can be formed. The disadvantage for women here is that strength training muscle bulk is low. Women grow muscle mass relatively slow.

Using an Elliptical Machine is well advised if you want to have slender legs. The movements are gentle on the joints and it is extremely effective against excess fat. Also Cycling is ideal as a sport for slender legs and simultaneously strengthens the gluts. If you are not into the cold, wet and windy weather, the an Exercise Bike is the perfect training partner.

Punctual dieting to a specific region of the body, without affecting other body parts is virtually impossible. If you want to have leaner legs, you should work on your entire body.

Women with saddlebags or a powerful figure (which is hereditary) have more difficulty achieving slim legs and a sculptured figure. Nevertheless sport offers the most effective way to work on your appearance and thereby improve your body shape and self-confidence.
