A good angle for your knees is roughly ninety degrees, but it doesn’t have to be exact. Now your lower body is fixed, with firm feet and hips, it won’t move much. Don’t shift along the seat, but keep your position strong and reach out for the higher and lower keys.

Belly fat however, is the excessive fat that encircles around the belly and the abdominal region. It majorly comprises of visceral fats that is wrapped around the inner organs and poses great risk to one’s health. While belly fat is most common in men, thigh fats are more prone in women, especially with pear shaped bodies. As against unhealthy visceral fats, thigh fats consist of subcutaneous fat that may have some potential benefits. Subcutaneous fat is found directly under the skin and is the fat that's measured using skin-fold calipers to estimate your total body fat.
