Every girl dreams of a beautiful and toned body. But, unfortunately, not everyone can boast of it. How to get the desired shape at home? That's right: through regular training, proper nutrition and massage.
One of the most common problems for girls is the lack of a hole between the thighs. Why is this happening? This can often be the result of poor diet and lack of exercise. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, then with a high degree of probability, excess fat mass will be deposited in the thigh area, especially in the inner part, since the muscles in this area are practically not involved in your daily life. That is why the hole between the thighs gradually disappears. And it is this problem that we will talk about today in the article. How to create a gap between your legs?
How should you eat?
So, the most important factor in losing weight is nutrition. Success depends 50% on him. As soon as you change your diet and balance it, results will be immediately visible. How to make a hole between thighs by changing your diet?
- Calculate how much calories, protein, fat and carbohydrates you need to consume. This is very important, because nutrition must be balanced. In addition, a surplus of 100-200 calories daily leads to a gain of about 1 kg of weight per week.
- Eliminate alcohol. Firstly, alcohol is quite high in calories; secondly, when people drink something, they usually eat a lot. Because of this, there is a feeling of constant hunger and a desire to snack. In addition, alcohol causes severe harm to the body and slows down the metabolic process.
- We remove the fat layer. You need to eliminate sausages, sausages, and mayonnaise from your diet. If you really want such foods, then you can eat them in minimal quantities once a day.
- Add healthy fats. Instead of harmful store-bought products with a high percentage of GMO content, use better oils, nuts, avocados, and sour cream.
- Eliminate fast carbohydrates. Sweets, pastries, bread - all this is too high in calories. It is better not to use them at all during the diet.
- Add porridge and pasta. The body needs the right carbohydrates in moderation, because they are the main source of energy.
- We eat a lot of protein. Protein is the so-called building material for the body, so if you play sports or want to lose weight, then you need it.
- Add vegetables and fruits. They contain a large amount of vitamins and nutrients, and they are low-calorie and quite nutritious. Vegetables contain fiber, which improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
How long does it take to lose weight in the legs and thighs?
Depending on the metabolic rate, general predisposition to fat accumulation, the balance of sex hormones, and general physical activity, the process may proceed faster or slower.
How to create a gap between your thighs in a week? Local weight loss (that is, in one area of the body) does not exist in nature: the whole body loses fat mass evenly. If you are predisposed to fat accumulation in the waist area, this is where the fat will go last. Fat in the hip area is slow to disappear in women with a pear-shaped figure. You will have to work hard for at least a month to achieve clearance.
Set of exercises
So, now we will talk about how to create a gap between the thighs; exercises will help us. It must be said right away that you cannot lose weight and change only a specific part of the body. When losing weight, all muscle and fat dislocation changes. You can only focus on a specific muscle group in order to achieve maximum effect in this area as soon as possible. Therefore, if you want a hole between the thighs, you need to train your legs as a whole.
- Squats. This is a basic exercise that uses a specific muscle group. So, put your feet shoulder-width apart, slowly squat until an angle of 90 degrees is formed in the knee joint area. Remember that your knees should not go beyond your toes, and your buttocks should move back as much as possible, keeping your body straight.
- Plie squats. This exercise works the inner thigh muscles very well. We place our legs wide, knees and feet pointing in the same direction; we squat until our thighs are parallel to the floor, stand up, do not fully extend our legs, keep them tense.
- Lateral swings. This exercise also uses the muscles of the inner thigh. Lie on your side, lean on your elbow, raise your upper leg, forming an angle of 45 degrees with the floor.
- Lying leg extensions. Quite an effective exercise that is easy to do. We lie on our backs, raise our straight legs up and spread them in different directions.
Training methods
Obviously, you need to use both isolated exercises and basic ones. But the basic ones actively train the entire thigh. Therefore, in order for the basic exercises to have maximum emphasis on the internal part, you need to do 1 - 2 isolated exercises first, and then do the base. For example:
- Leg abduction in the simulator 3x15-20
- Hip adduction in crossover 3x15-20
- Squats with weight between legs 3-4x10-15
- Side lunges 3-4x10-15
If we put the exercises in this sequence, this is what will happen:
With the first two exercises we will fatigue the inner thigh. Then, when the base comes, your inner thighs will tire the most and first. As a result of this, the rest of the thigh simply will not have time (will not be able) to receive a load sufficient for its growth. Therefore, the entire effect will fall on the inside.
This method is called the pre-fatigue method. It is actively used in strength training and bodybuilding, when it is necessary to focus on one or another muscle group. In addition, in isolated exercises you need to do more repetitions (15-20) than in basic exercises (10-15). This will increase the effect.
If you don’t have that much time to do 4 exercises separately, or you like more intense workouts, then do supersets, where the first exercise is an isolated exercise, and the second is a basic one. For example:
- Crossover hip adduction 3x15-20 Squats with weight between legs 3x10-15
Total load:
minimum - 2 similar supersets per week (1-2 times a week). Maximum – 4 similar supersets per week (2 times a week, 2 supersets).
Well, it’s up to you to decide whether to pump up the other areas of the hips in addition to this. If you don’t want to increase them, don’t download them. If you want, download additionally.
Running and walking
So, we have already talked about exercises for leg clearance, but it should be noted that it can also be achieved through simple walking or running.
- Run. It is best to alternate between fast and slow running. This way you can burn a lot more calories. The main thing to remember is that jogging should not last longer than an hour. In addition, you need to wear special shoes so as not to injure your joints. Among other things, you need to remember that you can only run in specially designated areas.
- Walking. Walking is very beneficial for the whole body as a whole. This type of activity uses all the muscles of the body, and it improves the health and general condition of the body. Walking improves your mood and relaxes tense muscles.
