The key to beautify the thigh is to develop the gluteus medius


We usually do leg exercises, less exercise to thigh side of the fat. Therefore, compared with the fat on the inside of thigh, the fat on the outside of thigh needs to focus on weight loss. So, how thin is the outer thigh? How to reduce the most effective thigh outside? And the fat outside thigh is not meat, but your muscle group is too developed. How should we deal with this situation?

The fat outside thigh is not necessarily meat

The outside of the thick leg not only makes the body shape very large, but also easy to appear the hip is flat and flat, and the legs are short and thick. But most people are fat inside their legs because they are too fat and their muscles are weak. But thigh outside fat, may be completely different situation! Don't believe you to pinch your thigh outside, really have a grasp of a loose fat?

Most people have not to have more meat, but the related muscle groups, quadriceps and lateral thigh muscles are developed too much! For example, some people even if the whole body thin, thigh inside are not close, the outside of the leg seems to be drum; And bodybuilders, such as the body fat is lower than 5%, thigh outside is also very strong that is the truth.

How thin is the outer thigh: the key is to develop the gluteus muscle

From the above, the fat outside thigh is not necessarily meat, if it is meat can be reduced by general aerobic exercise and diet control, but most people are developed muscle groups, at this time, the method of thigh reduction is completely different.

The main reason is that there are no specific major muscle groups, mainly in the quadriceps, rectus femoris and lateral thigh muscles. And want to thin thigh outside, do not let these muscle group too developed is the key! For example, fat outside thighs, but also through running, squatting to reduce fat, the result will only be trained to quadriceps, the more rough training

Therefore, to make the thigh thin, let the excessive force of the lateral related muscle group reduce the force, the key is to balance the force muscles, develop the gluteus muscle!

How thin is the outer thigh: three high-efficiency actions for the gluteus muscle

1 boxing side kick

Action steps:

(1) Stand naturally, open both legs and shoulder width, hands in front of chest;

(2) The single leg is raised side by side, and the hip is fully contracted and paused for 1-2 seconds;

(3) Slowly lower, change the other foot, repeat.

Action effect:

The physiological function of the gluteus muscle is responsible for the hip extension and single leg movement. From the action itself, the side kick of boxing perfectly fits the force requirements of the gluteus muscle, and is an efficient middle gluteus muscle activation action.

Action points:

(1) The movement process needs not to be too fast, the focus is to open the hip joint and feel the hip force when raising the leg.

(2) Because the side kick of boxing is self weight training, the training intensity is small, it is recommended to put it before the training of hip leg, as a warm-up action, activate the gluteus muscles and find the hip force feeling.

Sitting leg abduction
Action steps:
(1) Sit on the hip leg training machine, stick the baffle on the outside of the thigh, adjust the resistance weight, hold the handle with both hands, and stick the back close to the back;
(2) Two legs force outward, feel the buttocks of continuous force and tension, adhere to 2-3 seconds;
(3) Slow control, return to initial position, repeat.
Action effect:
The leg abduction of sitting posture instrument is an efficient action for training gluteus medius. In the process of action, only gluteus medius exerts force, and the training weight can be adjusted and controlled. It is a good training action for both beginners and advanced players.

Action points:
(1) The legs should always be close to the board, and the upper body should not be tilted forward to help;
(2) Keep the force even and controllable during the movement, and pay attention to feel the force contraction of the buttocks.
3 hip split squat
Action steps:
(1) Stand with one leg on the ground and the other leg on the bench, raise your head and hold your chest, tighten your waist and abdomen, and hold your head with both hands;
(2) Lean the upper body forward, keep the back straight and the core tight, fold the hip joint back to the maximum angle, feel the hip tension, and contract the peak for 2-3 seconds;
(3) Control the muscle force, slowly return to the initial position, repeat.
Action effect:
In the process of training, the hip angle changes as much as 120 degrees, while the knee angle changes very little. It can effectively stimulate the hip, at the same time, it will not produce too much shear force on the knee joint, which is more safe.
Action points:
(1) Keep the waist and back tight during the whole movement without locking the knee joint completely;
(2) The key of action is the change of hip angle. The greater the change of hip angle, the greater the stimulation to hip.
