So I'm here to tell you that the calf is getting thicker, not because of running. Generally, running won't make runners' calves thicker, but running is getting thinner and thinner. Because marathon runners' calves are very thin, there is no need to worry that running will make them thicker. On the contrary, don't run or exercise, which will lead to the accumulation and thickening of leg fat. If you exercise regularly for a long time, aerobic exercise will not thicken your calves, but will help you lose weight and shape your legs. Stretching helps to stretch and relax all parts of the body, especially leg stretching, which can relieve and relax leg muscle groups, stretch leg muscle groups and avoid leg thickening.
The advantage of soaking feet and legs with hot water is to relieve and relax the tight muscles of feet and legs, reduce the release of lactic acid in legs and avoid excessive fatigue of lower limbs. As the saying goes, the way to stay slim is to open your legs and close your mouth. The diet is nutritious and light, and high-calorie junk food (fried, French fries, desserts, etc.) should be avoided. ) and keep 7 points full. Sit less and move more, try to stay away from comfortable areas such as sofas and beds, don't sit for a long time, stand more and walk more, and develop the good habit of sitting less and moving more. Most people like to cross their legs, especially women. Crossing your legs easily leads to poor blood circulation in your legs, and fat accumulation in your legs can lead to muscle stiffness in your lower limbs.
Massage your calves more. This is a method that I personally found to make your calf thinner. Regular massage of the calf helps to relieve the stiffness of the calf muscles, help the blood circulation of the calf to be smooth and shape the calf. In addition, the way the sole touches the ground during running is also very important. Generally speaking, the hind foot touches the ground or the whole foot touches the ground. The hind foot is the least labor-saving, but it has a great influence on knees, hips and ankles. You need to wear a pair of very good running shoes. Landing on the sole of the foot has the least influence on the joints, which requires a certain sports foundation and a moderate running speed. You can decide which running posture to use according to your physical condition. Fully warm up before running, dynamically stretch muscles and move joints. After exercise, you should stretch your muscles statically and move your joints. Stretching can avoid muscle aggregation and shaping.
