Can you thin your legs on tiptoe?
Standing on tiptoe can thin legs, but it has little effect on fat calves, but it has a great influence on muscle calves.

1, calf fat (especially subcutaneous fat) is more, mainly through aerobic training to reduce fat, and the calf circumference can also be significantly reduced after fat reduction. It should be noted that at this stage, there is no evidence that targeted fat reduction is feasible, that is to say, it is impossible to reduce fat only in one part of the body and not in other parts. At the beginning of jogging and skipping rope to reduce fat, the speed of reducing fat is often slower than that of increasing muscle fibers, so the calf may become thicker instead. You need to keep exercising, your muscles will not grow indefinitely, while your body fat will continue to drop and your calves will gradually become thinner. In this case, the action of toes will not play a major role.

2. The calf muscles (including Achilles tendon) are slack, especially when they can't adapt to the full-speed sprint, it is more targeted to take the action of tiptoe. Especially the gastrocnemius, the effect is better, and the soleus and achilles tendon are practiced at the same time. At this time, the goal of training can include reducing the fat between muscle bundles, but mainly to make muscle fibers have better contractility (simply understood, muscle strength mainly comes from the contraction range of muscle fibers) and make the calf lines more beautiful.

The benefits of standing on tiptoe every day.

Toe toes have been used for a long time in ancient times. Originally called "heel-dodging method", the newly unearthed Introduction to Books in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty recorded that "heel-dodging is beneficial to the chest" and "heel-dodging, left-handed and right-handed, only 300". Eight-hundred-year-old Ba Duan Jin, the last movement, is called "Seven Protrusions on the Back to Eliminate All Diseases", which stimulates the kidney meridian system, induces systemic shock, and gently massages the five internal organs to achieve the magical effect of eliminating all diseases.

The heel is closely related to the kidney meridian of human body. Tiptoe can stimulate the kidney meridian of foot shaoyin (starting from the little toe, slanting at Yongquan point in the foot heart and ascending along the heel), dredge the meridian of foot Yin San, and make the qi in the body move upwards, thus warming the kidney, stimulating the middle qi and improving the renal function, which can not only promote the blood to supply enough oxygen to the myocardium, but also protect cardiovascular health, exercise calf muscles and enhance the stability of the ankle joint.
