Exercises to lose weight: squats!

I am not teaching you anything by telling you that squats or pushups are exercises that, while requiring a certain experience and perseverance to be performed correctly, allow you to lose weight and shape your body at the same time. For those who are not practical, I recommend starting as I did. Without a barbell (it’s called an airplane), starting, after training in another way, with a low number of push-ups (in my case 4 × 20). With the barbell or some weights for the arms (two or one), the squat, created to train the legs and buttocks and improve the figure, can be transformed into a total body exercise, as in the examples in this video . In general, it burns a lot of calories, is the classic exercise that allows you to tone the buttocks and legs well.

It would be good to wear a back strap or lumbar restraint belt to do squats , and if they are barbell-less, place your hands behind your head or forward. Some useful exercises can be found here , some very interesting variations, both with and without weights, are illustrated in this article .
How many calories are burned and what do we get with the squat?
The calories per minute are six, this means that ten minutes allow me to burn 60 Kcal, half an hour almost 200. According to this other article, one hundred squats a day allow you to lose weight quickly , without using weights. What does it allow us to do?

It gives us more toned and shaped legs, well-designed buttocks, tighter abs. In this regard, remember to contract your abs and buttocks when lowering yourself, and lower yourself as if you were sitting down. With the barbell or weights we can also strengthen the arms. Furthermore, the squat is an excellent exercise for posture, to be able to move better (it trains us to vary the body pattern) and in a more agile and loose way. It is important, however:
– to warm up before the squat.
– remember to protect your back with some bands or belts or by keeping straight while running
– perform squats correctly, increasing the load little by little.
– do not force yourself too much, to avoid stretching, even in quantity, and do not do them too quickly!
