Leg Work Outs? Build Leg Muscles and Keep a flat stomach. help?
Question:
I am 20 years old, female. I am about 110-113lbs, 5'5.
I have a short torso and very long thin legs (which i hate).
I am currently trying to get my weight a little lighter. however my legs are dissapearing. I would like to have some help with what I can do to help with ADDING muscles and weight to my LEGS and HIPS. I still want to keep a small flat stomach. I don't want to have to eat a lot more than I am right now at about 1200 calories a day. I hate my thin legs.
If I start working out my legs and butt will this help them to "FILL" out.?
would it help if I drank a protein shake before working my legs and butt out.?
one more question. why is it that people workout to lose weight, but some workout to build muscle? what if I start working out and I lose weight instead of adding weight in muscles?
Answers:
When you work out the types of exercises you do greatly depict your out come. Strength training (Lifting weights) builds muscles which may increase your lean body mass. If you have excess fat on the area you are training with the weights the muscles will pull on that energy and burn the fats causing weight loss.
It will give a much more toned look. And of course you will be stronger. Muscle weighs more than fat. This is why sometimes when people are trying to lose weight it doesn't seem like they are; because they are gaining muscle but losing a lot fat and this disconcerts a lot of people.
A few exercises for your legs:
Squats with added weight; work out on the leg press machine. Increase the weights at least every two weeks and you will begin gaining a lot of muscle in your legs
Cardio (running, walking, etc.) makes for a much leaner and thinner muscle.
It is impossible to get toned without lifting weights
I don't advise those protein shakes. Eat normal healthy meals which contain a protein, starch and vegetable/ fruit.
