Three kinds of thick legs temporarily thick legs that is to say, after running, the muscles are congested and swollen, and the legs will look thicker than usual, but they will soon return to their original state. This kind of thick legs are fake thick legs, and some people are scared away by this phenomenon. Since then, the shadow of running errands has been planted, and it is believed that running will lead to thick legs. Fat legs are thick and fat legs are thick, that is, there is more calf meat, which is obviously fattening after eating too much. Consider reducing fat. This thick leg has nothing to do with running. Muscular leg thickening refers to the thickening of hind legs, especially calves, after running for a period of time. This is what many girls call muscular thick legs, which look strong and angular. First, it won't stretch.
Leg muscles are divided into soleus muscle and gastrointestinal muscle. If your soleus muscle is underdeveloped, your gastrocnemius muscle will appear bulky, so you must stretch after exercise. Running will make your legs thicker? These four reasons tell you that it may not be really thick. Second, running too fast. As we all know, running is divided into long-distance running and sprint. White muscle fibers mainly gather in sprint, and the diameter of white muscle fibers is relatively thick, which will increase obviously in the recovery after exercise. In long-distance running, more red muscle fibers with smaller diameters are collected, so we often see long-distance runners on TV, so people who want to lose weight should also choose slow and lasting long-distance running for fat-reducing training.
Third, leg muscles increase. When running, the main muscle group of lower limbs is mainly exercise, so the short-term expansion of muscles after exercise is inevitable. If you don't reduce body fat in a short time, your legs will appear thicker than before. Fourth, the calf is congested. After running, the legs are bloodshot and thicker than those before running. After hyperemia, the legs naturally lose weight. Therefore, although running will cause leg thickening in a short time, it will definitely reduce your body fat and eventually run out of the body you want.
