Does climbing a mountain make your legs thicker?
Normally, not. Generally speaking, climbing at normal intensity will not cause leg thickening. Many people think that leg thickening is due to fatigue, stiffness and tension of leg muscles after climbing the mountain, giving people an illusion of thickening. However, it should be noted that the calf will be in a state of tension and stimulation when climbing the mountain. If you don't relax in time after climbing the mountain, or the climbing posture is wrong and the exercise intensity is too high, the leg muscles may become strong and visually strong in the long run.
Can I stovepipe when climbing a mountain?
Of course. Mountain climbing is an aerobic exercise. As long as the amount of exercise is appropriate and the climbing posture is correct, metabolism can be accelerated, blood circulation can be promoted, and heat and fat can be burned. Especially when climbing uphill or stairs, leg fat can be consumed in the process of lifting, falling and walking, thus achieving the effect of stovepipe.
What is the effect of stovepipe climbing?
Much better. In the process of climbing the mountain, the thigh moves forward, which can promote the decomposition and burning of fat, tighten the thigh muscles and make the thigh look slimmer. Moreover, if the calf has edema or leg relaxation, you can also tighten the calf muscles by climbing the mountain. When your muscles become tight, your calves will look slim and fit.
How long can I climb mountains and stovepipe?
At least a month. How long the stovepipe climbs depends on the actual situation and the intensity of climbing. For example, thin and edematous legs may take about a month to have an effect, but it may take 3 months or even longer to tighten the leg muscles and make the legs thinner.
