Get Them Legs Moving

Happy Wednesday!

It is time for a workout! I'm gonna make this post about legs today. I know we've been around it a few times with the thighs and the butt, but it is my problem areas so we're going to see a lot of it. I have very strong legs and I leg press about 127 kg when I'm at my best, but my legs just won't show! There's still a lot of fat around them and I just can't seem to lose any of it! I know there are people out there with the exact same problem and then there's people out there with problem areas like their stomach or arms. Basically it is all the same. Three key ingredients - cardio workout, weight training and dieting. 

Cardio workout is important when talking about our problem areas. Of course if you have skinny arms or legs and just want them toned, this is not a crucial element in your workout. But if you, like me, are haunted with a lot of fat, it is important to burn a lot of that. And lifting weights is going to get you a long way, but please keep in mind the process will be faster and better if you mix it up. So go run or ride a bike or hit zumba class a few times a week!

The pyramid in the upper picture is a great total workout for your legs. It is of course hard to lift weights when it comes to your legs so usually you're gonna use your whole body weight. Of course there's machines in the gym too, but if you're not a frequently gym user, this is much easier. 

And last, but definitely not least your diet. I said it before and I'll say it again! A good workout rutine can not beat a bad diet! It is that simple. You got to look out with what you eat. I am not saying you should cut out everything fun in your life or you should eat all the cake and ice cream you want, but everything in moderation! Portion control and sugar control. Let yourself have a treat every now and then, but make it a reward. From monday to thursday I will not eat candy and unhealthy snacks, but I will look forward to the weekend where I am allowed to. It is a great way and also the easy way! But get your food under control. My problem is over eating. I got to start getting my portions under control, I eat like a grown man! But start small and work your way up!

Good luck! <3
