Everyone gains and loses weight differently and for women the feet can be a target of both weight gains and loses even if you do not realize it. Pregnancy is the main cause for weight gain in the feet and for this type of water retention and weight gain there are many different solutions that can be utilized to help you lose weight everywhere, even in your feet. Just as with any other form of weight loss it is important to remember that there are no magic ways to target your weight loss towards one area or another and this is no different with your feet.
When you gain weight it can be hard to notice where all the weight is actually located and for women especially the ankles and feet are generally one of the most common areas of weight gain and one of the most commonly overlooked areas of the body as well. The only way to lose weight in the feet is to do a complete overhaul of your body because it is frustrating to hear that your feet and ankles are the last places of the body to reap the benefits of your new diet and exercise regimes.
The main parts of the body get the most from your exercise and new nutritional diet and as your body as a whole begins to slim down so will your feet and ankles. It can be hard to believe that you can gain weight in your feet but you will notice when your feet begin to slip out of your shoes while you are walking! You want to first adapt a new and healthy diet; a diet that contains nothing that is processed, that contains sugar or that is high in calories.
Once you have the self discipline to maintain this diet for a long period of time then the next step is your exercise routine. You will want to combine a 15-20mintue cardio routine with a 30minute strength training routine.
Unfortunately there are not strength exercises that target your feet directly but running and stretching is enough to get your muscles working and warmed up for the rest of the workout. By keeping up with this combination diet and exercise regime you should see results and even feel results in your feet and you may even have to buy new shoes! Losing foot fat is something that many women have to face after pregnancy and you can do it too.
