Soyou, the secret to a toned butt is deadlifts?

Soyou of the group SISTAR worked out and showed off his toned body.

On the 8th, Soyou shared several photos on her social media account with the caption, "Today is leg day," showcasing her toned physique as she worked out at the gym. In the photos, Soyou is seen performing deadlifts with perfect form.

The deadlift is an exercise where you lift a barbell from the floor to hip height. It is a representative exercise for strengthening the lower body, back, and core muscles. Not only does it target the lower body, but it also engages many muscles throughout the body simultaneously, which can boost metabolism and help reduce body fat.

To perform the deadlift, start by standing in front of the barbell with your feet about hip-width apart. Bend at the waist to grasp the barbell, ensuring your arms are outside your legs. Keep your chest open and position your shoulders and the barbell in a vertical line. Engage your core as you lift the barbell along your shins, knees, and thighs, repeating this motion for 20 reps across 3 sets.

Start with light weights, increase slowly, and be careful not to break your posture

It is important paying careful attention to maintaining proper form to avoid injury. Incorrect form, such as leaning back or bending forward excessively, can lead to injury, so ensure the barbell stays close to your shins.

For beginners, it is advisable to focus on lighter weights to avoid strain on the spine and lower back muscles. Consulting with a professional trainer when starting out can help you learn proper technique and prevent injuries.

In addition to deadlifts, squats are another effective exercise for strengthening the lower body and core. To perform a basic squat, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and keep your back straight as you lower your hips as if sitting in a chair, making sure your knees do not extend past your toes.

Once you are comfortable with basic squats, you can try incorporating dumbbells, starting with a 2 kg weight and gradually increasing to 3 kg or 4 kg as you become more experienced.
