You may often find such a situation in your life. There are many people in places like bench presses and treadmills in the gym, but no one can be seen in the leg training equipment. In fact, this is a common misunderstanding in fitness training, which ignores the gain of leg strength training on the overall fitness effect.

However, in fact, leg training is the basic training of fitness. Only when the leg strength is developed can the overall coordination and balance of strength of the body be guaranteed, and the chassis will be more stable. In leg training, calf strength training is particularly important and easily overlooked.

So, today I will introduce several common leg training methods.

The most common training method for leg training is heel lifting. This kind of training mode does not need the help of instruments, has low cost, and can be trained anytime and anywhere. It mainly exercises the strength of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, which is the core part of calf training. After practicing lift heel for a long time, the calf muscles will grow rapidly until a series of strong muscle strips appear.

There are many kinds of lift heel, such as standing lift heel, sitting lift heel and instrument lift heel. The first two are mainly the differences of action forms, and the parts of exercise have their own emphasis, but they are generally similar. While the equipment lift heel mainly relies on external equipment for lift heel, which is an upgrade in intensity compared with the first two, and is suitable for bodybuilders with a certain training foundation, and the training effect is more advanced.

If many people are careful, they will find that many girls will also notice the reduction of calf fat when losing weight, so they look forward to stovepipe through long-distance running. However, it turns out that most girls' calves become thicker after long-term running, which makes many fat-reducing enthusiasts want to cry. So what's wrong with this situation? In fact, it is because they didn't stretch in time after running. Leg strength is in a state of excitement and tension because of long-distance running, and it does have the effect of burning fat, but because it is not relaxed in time, leg fat is still not completely relaxed and burned.

Therefore, whether you are running or lifting your heels, you should pay attention to relaxing exercises and stretching your leg muscles after training, which not only protects the training results, but also effectively reduces the possibility of training injuries.

After the heel lifting exercise has achieved certain results, you can carry out advanced exercises such as supine leg lifting and prone leg bending. This action is not only a simple calf muscle exercise, but a comprehensive training of leg linkage, which can make the calf exercise better on the same track as other leg muscle groups.

In fact, leg exercise can stimulate the level of androgen in the human body, which is also helpful for abdominal muscle exercise. Moreover, leg muscles account for about 70% of human muscles, so practicing leg movements is also a good harvest for cardiopulmonary function. Therefore, calf fitness, which is often neglected in fitness, actually plays a great role.

For beginners, you can start with the heel lift, and practice step by step where there is no weight. When you start practicing regularly with certain equipment, your muscle level has reached a certain level. As long as you do the right actions and keep practicing, you will definitely gain strong leg muscles.
