How to Lose Leg Fat

…And we’re walking

So…what’s the best way to lose leg fat?

In this article, I’m going to give you three steps to get ripped legs.

Why is it so difficult to lose leg fat?

Leg Fat is just like any other fat on the body…it is stored fat. So in order to get rid of it, you have to reduce overall body fat. This comes from the right diet and an effective workout.

Here are three steps you can take to start losing leg fat today.:

Step 1: Check your diet. If you are not eating a healthy diet that is low in calories, get on one as quickly as possible. This will make a huge difference. The eating plan I have used for a while to reduce my body fat significantly is a 400-calorie Meal Plan from Prevention. You can check out the book at Amazon. I would eat five meals from this 400-calorie list each day. This really worked well for me…and it is very easy to follow.

As a personal trainer and fitness center owner, I’d see people all the time that join our gym with all the right intentions. They exercise very hard. They come regularly.

The problem is, you can’t outrun your fork. Your eating plan has to be in place.

Step 2: Use circuit training. Circuit training is a form of weight training where you perform several exercises in succession, rest, and repeat. Circuit training burns massive calories both during and after your workout. Pick exercises that work your leg muscles, and you will torch leg fat.

Below, I included a sample leg-based circuit workout that I have used. This workout is very effective for burning calories and toning your legs.

I performed this workout three days a week with a day of rest in between. I would do all the exercises listed, rest two minutes and repeat for three total sets. Here are the reps that I used:

1. Medicine Ball Jumping Jacks — 20-30 reps
2. Dumbbell Dead lifts — 10-15 reps
3. Plank — 45 sec – 1 min
4. Dumbbell Squats – 8-12 reps
5. Lunges – 10 reps each side

Step 3: perform cardiovascular training.

The most ripped my legs have ever been was when I would do a circuit workout like the one in the video, then immediately perform cardiovascular exercise for about 20-30 minutes on a stationary bike or elliptical machine. I did the 20-30 minutes of cardio at a medium pace. In other words on a scale of 1-10 where ten is full sprint and one is sitting on the couch, I was about a five.

The theory behind this is that circuit-type training is effective at releasing stored fat from fat cells. The 20-30 minutes of medium-intensity cardiovascular uses this fat for fuel, creating a fat-burning “perfect storm.”

So, that’s it for how to lose leg fat.

Diet. Circuit training. Cardiovascular exercise.

Good luck and train hard.
