Gym Leg
what exercises in the gym can i do to turn my leg fat into muscle?
i’m 5′4″ and 103 pounds. i know i’m already super skinny so i dont want to get any skinnier. i actually want to gain some weight and make my legs a little fuller. although my legs are super skinny, theres a lot of fat on it (no meat or muscle) what exercises at the gym can i do to turn my leg fat into muscle? running? biking? or will these exercises just make my legs thinner?
please&thank you!
and i’m 16
Your legs already have plenty of muscle on them.
Untrained muscle feels exactly the same as bodyfat, so a lot of people think that they are fatter than they are. The fat is on the outside, so even a moderate layer can hide the untrained muscles concealed underneath.
To strengthen these muscles, making them tighter and more firm, you need to exercise against heavy resistance. The right kind of load will exhaust the muscle you’re training after a low number of movements.
Exercises that can be measured in minutes will make your legs stronger, but also skinnier, because they increase the density of the muscle tissue so that it takes up less room.
You don’t need to use weights & gym machines; Martial Arts training, or Cycling hard, can also strengthen and tone your legs without sacrificing shape or size.
In the gym, a Leg Press machine is the usual way to train for size, strength or tone in your legs. As you get used to the way these muscles work, you might start to perform ’squats’ with a barbell, and other more specialised leg exercises.
Try getting a book about bodybuilding from the library, so that you can find out how these athletes develop their leg muscles. You don’t need to be aiming for a monster physique in order to find that kind of information useful.
