What’s gaining weight – hips, arms or stomach? Look in the mirror and determine the cause of excess weight

Chances are you have a slow metabolism – one, a tendency to edema – two, and you’re consuming more calories than you can burn – three. There is good news: with regular training, you get rid of superfluous kilos and you see… no, not faster than the others, but with a more lasting result. If you’ve already gotten rid of it, then you’ve gotten rid of it, and then you can just keep fit.

Take at least 10,000 steps a day. Include green tea and chili peppers in your diet (if you have digestive problems, treat spices with care) – they speed up metabolism. Your salvation is intense aerobic exercise (by the way, they have a very positive effect on brain activity), but do not forget about strength. Yes, and most importantly: no more leg swings and dieting – no sweets (simple sugars), saturated fats and trans fatty acids (found in butter, margarine and processed foods). And here is some more interesting information: since female hormones are responsible for the “lower” deposits, after childbirth, during lactation, these areas very quickly lose everything superfluous. But the effect is temporary – it lasts exactly as long as you breastfeed. So you will have to play sports if you want to maintain your newfound harmony.

Some women are predisposed to fat accumulation in this area. If you improve, the size of your breasts also increases, if you lose weight, alas, the volume disappears here too. And one of the first. One of the reasons for the appearance of excess fat in this area is stress: increased levels of cortisol (stress hormone) stimulate its deposition in the chest area, as well as on the face, neck, back and shoulders.

Loads of power! Work out in a sports club on different weight simulators and at home with amplifiers. It is better if you have an individual program – agree with the coach, he will help you create a complex. Let it be an unforeseen expense, but the result is worth it.
If the cause is stress, see a neurologist. You are shown a massage, a good rest. Include in the anti-stress course also a sauna and a swimming pool.

In general, this area usually causes concern in men – as someone figuratively said, “when instead of several small cubes they find a big ball in themselves”, so obesity at this place is usually called android. However, in women it is not so rare, especially in a certain type: taller than average, straight shoulders, not very pronounced waist, narrow hips, slender ankles.

Use different workouts. For example, alternate classes on an exercise bike with Pilates and callanetics – these exercise systems are most effective in this case. At home, by all means, get a hula hoop (preferably rubber, it’s not as side-sensitive as plastic) and a fitness ball (you’ll swing the press on it). Remember that waist fat increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by five times in both men and women. So don’t rule this area!

If the fashion for long dresses fills you with joy, it’s time to get down to business. Full calves are usually the result of water retention in the body, impaired capillary or venous circulation.

Try to eat less salt: excess sodium in the body is the first cause of swollen ankles. What else? Hot weather and medications like steroids, antidepressants or contraceptives. If possible, switch to another drug. Swelling can also indicate circulation problems, so be sure to exercise and not sit for long periods of time. If possible, take a pressotherapy course.
As for exercises to improve the shape of the calves, nothing better than stretching. And here it is better to turn to yoga and variants of fitness ballet.
