Keep running, will your legs get thicker?
According to personal experience, if you don't practice sprinting, normal jogging really won't make your legs thicker. Not only will the legs not become thicker, but the whole body will become thinner and thinner, the legs will be thinner than before, the meat on the legs will become tighter and tighter, and the lines will be better than before.

Many girls will struggle with this problem, want to run to lose weight, and worry that their legs will become thicker and thicker and become muscles. In fact, as long as you carefully observe the figure of a long-distance runner, you will find that there are no very thick legs. Only sprinters need explosive power, and leg muscles will be more developed. This also requires long-term targeted training, which can't be possessed casually. Long-distance runners generally have thin legs and good leg lines.

Jogging is a good aerobic exercise. Sticking to jogging is not only very good for your health, but also very good for losing weight. Just like people gain weight, weight gain is the whole body gain, not just one part. It is impossible to lose weight by any exercise, and you will lose weight all over. The same is true for running. When the whole body is getting thinner, the legs will become thinner. At first, some people may have thick legs. Don't worry, it's just edema. If you persist for a long time, it will disappear. If you want a better leg line, you should pay more attention to the stretching exercise after running, and insist on doing stretching exercise seriously, which is very beneficial to the leg line. You can also relax your leg with the help of foam shafts and other tools.

In fact, many people worry that running will thicken their legs, but they are actually worried about long muscles. Only those who have really exercised will know how difficult it is to grow muscles. Not only long-term targeted exercise is needed, but also relatively increased nutrition is needed to maintain muscles. So aerobic exercise like running really can't grow muscles, so don't worry at all, just run.
