Do you have thick legs when cycling in the gym?
Aerobic leg riding will not get thicker. Through long-term and low-intensity pedaling, the body can maintain a mild aerobic state, which can improve cardiopulmonary function and promote metabolism. ?

As long as you persist for more than 30 minutes, you will start to achieve effective fat burning effect, and the consumption of fat is systemic, and it will not be just stovepipe because you mainly use leg muscles when riding a bike, which is conducive to body shaping. ?

Spinning is a kind of exercise that burns body fat, which helps to make the body curve more compact and stylish. In fact, it is not easy to grow muscles in your legs with a spinning bike. Sometimes I feel that my calf is "swollen" after training, and it is also because of the feeling that the blood circulation warms up after exercise. It will probably recover after a while, so don't worry too much.

Riding posture is the key. Correct riding posture can not only avoid sports injury and backache, but also enhance sports effect. For example, when the pedal reaches the lowest point, the knee must be slightly bent. If the cushion is too high, swinging from side to side will hurt the lumbar spine, and stepping on it will strain the knee ligament. Too low will put pressure on the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. The distance between the handlebar and the seat cushion should be adjusted so that the arm is 90 degrees perpendicular to the body. When riding, the back is in a natural state, but the shoulders should be relaxed, the elbows should be slightly bent and the abdomen should be slightly tightened.

Don't deliberately press your toes down when you step on them, which will increase the stress on your calves. You should let the heel sink a little, so you won't worry about the calf getting thicker! After riding, you must stretch your muscles in a tight and congested state. After exercise, you need to stretch your limbs and muscles, which can not only effectively relax and increase elasticity and ductility, but also move your joints and lengthen muscle lines. Share 4 stretching movements after riding. I suggest you do it within 10- 15 minutes after exercise, and each action lasts for 30-60 seconds, which will be more effective!
