Ladieeees, let’s talk about getting the back of your legs smooth and defined with hamstring exercises!
FACTS: you can diet and eat in a calories deficit to lose fat fat but if you haven’t built any muscles under everything, you’re still going to be adorably squishy when all is said and done.
Also facts: there’s nothing wrong that.
So this post is for those girlies who want a toned and well defined solid look AS WELL AS just people who want to burn more calories in general.
What do I mean by that?
Working out larger muscles makes your workouts more intense and demanding. This increases the need for oxygen and energy, leading to more calories burned both during and after the workout.
How does it burn more calories after? Glad you asked. 😊
When you challenge and stress these muscles, like using them to lift challenging weights, you’re creating tiny tears in the muscle fibers. During the recovery process, (read: REST) your body uses energy (aka calories) to repair and rebuild the muscle tissue. This repair process can keep your metabolic rate elevated even after your workout, resulting in additional calorie burn.
So if you’re short on time but want the most bang for you buck, challenge your larger muscles like hamstrings, quads, glutes and back.
