Can running thin legs? Will running calves get thicker? Bian Xiao reveals the truth about running skinny legs for you. Aerobic exercise to lose weight is not a new term, and running has become the most popular aerobic spokesperson. Many MMs worry or even complain that running will make their calves thicker and their muscles more developed. Now Bian Xiao will take you out of the traditional running misunderstanding!
Truth 1: Warm-up Exercise
It is considered that there is no need to do warm-up exercise before exercise, especially before running, which is especially important for leg stretching. Only by fully warming up and stretching in place can the calf be put into "battle" in the "best state".
Truth 2: landing skills
The most important skill of running to lose weight. Many mm runners will land on their forepaws, which is easy and labor-saving, but it is not suitable for mm runners with thick calves. The correct way to avoid calf thickening is to land on the heel, and then jog with the whole foot on the ground. Can be compared to race walking, recall which runner's calf muscles are too developed?
Truth 3: Aerobic exercise
The real time to burn fat begins after 30 minutes of continuous exercise, so running needs to last for more than half an hour. It should be noted that it is wrong to think that the more intense the exercise, the better the weight loss effect. It is wrong to focus only on the calories consumed in each exercise. Jogging speed should not be too fast, heart rate should be controlled within the heart rate range of aerobic exercise, and it should not be too slow, otherwise it will not play the role of exercise. Jogging for more than 20 minutes can not only exhaust glycogen in the body, but also utilize fat in the body. Because jogging is not very intense, it will not make the body too anoxic, so it will help the consumption of fat, thus achieving the purpose of losing weight.
Generally, it is very suitable to control jogging at 6-8 km/h. Once the intensity is increased and accelerated, the calories consumed will indeed increase, but it will overload the calves and knees and accelerate the growth of muscles. In addition to the correct running posture, the slimming method to avoid calf thickening should also take jogging under low-intensity, rhythmic and long-lasting aerobic exercise to consume sugar and fat in the body.
