Tone your Lose fat and with these 3 exercises
We’re all caught up in the humdrum of life, so much so that it doesn’t matter if we have time for our body or not, we always hope to have a lean body and toned legs. If your goal is fat loss and getting toned legs, we suggest you to try three simple but effective exercises which can be performed anywhere. Juhi Kapoor, fitness expert and yoga teacher, who shared a video addressing the same, captioned: “These exercises are perfect for beginners since they use the support of a wall. Moreover, these exercises allow you to balance better and keep correct form.”
1. Wall sit
Wall sit pose is known to tone your legs. However, it works well for fat loss as well. It is a great way to train muscles and increase endurance.
Here’s how to perform it: Stand with your back to the wall.
Place your feet firmly on the ground, shoulder-width apart and two feet away from the wall.
Slowly, lean back and slide down as if sitting back on a chair.
Keep your core engaged and knees bend, maintaining a 90 degree angle at the hips and the knees.
Hold the pose for 20 seconds to 1 minute.
Practice 3 sets (1 min each)
2. Lunges
Doing wall lunges is the best exercise to maintain your body weight. It targets all the muscle groups and helps to tone up.
Here’s how to perform it: Stand facing towards the wall with your feet shoulder width apart and put your hands on the wall.
Place your right leg forward touching the wall. Now, drop the back knee (left) down or lower your upper body until it’s an inch above the ground, making a 90-degree angle on both knees.
Hold the pose for 3 seconds and return to the starting position. Repeat. Practice on both sides (20 reps × 3 sets)
3. One leg deadlift
This exercise can do wonders to legs. This is the best exercise for fat and to improve balance between target leg muscles.
Here’s how to perform it: Stand straight and support the wall with your right hand. Lean forward shifting your weight on your right leg while lifting your left leg backward.
Lower down your torso until you are parallel to the floor, forming a T shape. Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg.
