We often wonder whether my calf will become thicker or thinner after running, especially after long-distance running, and whether I will exercise a muscular leg. First of all, it is clear that long-distance running is good for losing weight. Because long-distance running belongs to aerobic exercise, its main function is to reduce fat. But it is very important to remember that you need to stretch after a long run. If you don't stretch, it's easy to form muscle legs.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of thick legs. One is that most people's calves are thick, that is, there is more fat, and the other is that the calf muscles are too developed, squeezed tightly and ugly.

The original intention of most people to lose weight is to thin legs, especially girls. Therefore, girls must pay attention to stretching and fully stretching after long-distance running. Your future effect can refer to those long-distance runners with long legs.

Then how can we tell whether our calves are muscle legs or fat legs? It's actually quite simple. If you are a person who seldom exercises, then your calf muscles will certainly not be too developed; It can also be solved by exerting force on the calf. You can obviously feel the strength and size of the calf muscles when you exert your strength. Girls with thicker calves are basically because of higher fat content. Those muscular legs are generally people who run for a long time but don't stretch much.

Because the calf muscles are in a tight and tight state due to repeated contraction after running, if you don't stretch, on the one hand, it is unlikely to be sore the next day or even the third day; Second, stretching in time can relieve a state of muscle and make it slender and slender. We can also do stretching exercises before running, which is also very beneficial.

So girls don't have to worry that running will make their legs thicker. Just go running and lose weight healthily.
