How to change the brawniness of the calf? Everyone's figure is different. There are many female friends who wear skirts or shorts in summer, and their calves are particularly thick and look ugly. So how can we save our calves? Let's take a look at how to change the thick calf.
How to change the calf thickness 1 What are the reasons for the calf thickness?
1, congenital genetic factor. The shape of our bodies is largely determined by genes. If the calf is naturally thick or the arch collapses, the calf muscles will replace the strength of the arch, and the calf will be strong after a long time. These all belong to the range of congenital calf thickness.
2. High-intensity exercise. Like some high-intensity training, there is a high demand for calf muscle load, such as bouncing or strength-based lower limb training, which requires sufficient calf muscles to support and keep moving. Athletes with long training time and high training intensity generally have strong calves and belong to the type of muscular legs.
3, too obese. People with high body fat have thicker calves than ordinary people because of excessive fat accumulation. This kind of leg, which is usually fat, may become a muscular leg with the increase of daily use of calf.
4. Daily bad behavior habits. Wear shoes that don't fit. Some girls will feel that their feet are bigger and want to wear small shoes for beauty, but too small shoes will oppress the nerves, lymph and blood vessels of our feet, which will also cause edema of the calves for a long time.
In addition, wearing high-heeled shoes or wedge shoes with high gradient difference will cause the calf to be in a tight state for a long time, and the calf muscles will become firm and even deformed.
Sedentary. Because of sitting for a long time and not exercising, the lymph and blood circulation of our lower limbs are not smooth, which leads to edema of our lower limbs, and also leads to poor metabolism of our body and difficult discharge of waste.
Cross your legs. Almost everyone has this bad habit, but it is not easy to get rid of it. Crossing one's legs can cause edema of lower limbs. Although we don't feel its potential harm, your leg valgus deformation may be caused by crossing your legs.
Incorrect walking posture is the most easily overlooked point. Some people will weigh their feet from time to time when walking, because their walking posture is not corrected when they are young, or they don't follow the ground with their feet first, but they touch the ground with their toes, and their hips and thighs don't exert force, and their calves drive the whole body to walk. This walking posture will lead to the contraction of calf muscles, tension and roughness of calf muscles. So when you walk, your calves will get thicker and thicker. In addition, the bad walking habits of the inner character and the outer character will also cause our legs to deform for a long time.
So how can we effectively solve the problem of thick calves?
In view of the different reasons for the formation of calf thickness, I will share some tips and actions with you.
For congenital and obese calves, running is recommended. Let's take long-distance runners as an example. Their calves are slender because they consume a lot of oxygen and glucose in the body during long-distance running. When glucose runs out, they start to consume body fat.
Therefore, because long-distance runners consume fat for a long time, they have less body fat, thin calves and beautiful lines, thus achieving the feeling of visually lengthening their calves.
Therefore, if you want to stovepipe effectively, you can insist on long-distance running for a long time, but you must do stretching before and after running.
Methods of improving leg muscles
Stretch before and after exercise. The function of stretching is to lengthen the contracted muscles, so that the muscles become relaxed and relaxed, so that the calves will become slender.
Leg stretching method:
1, support lunge push and pull, hold the support rod or push the wall with both hands, keep your elbows straight and touch the wall or railing, one foot is flat on the ground, the other foot is behind the front foot for a short distance, and your toes touch the ground, so you can feel tension.
2, sit up straight knees and ankles, sit on the ground, feet together in front of you. Knee joints need to be slightly bent. Touch our toes with your hands and press down. If your waist is not good, you can use a towel and other things, hold both ends of the towel firmly with your hands and feel the elasticity.
3. Stand in front of a step or an object with similar height, with the forefoot in front (the forefoot is in contact with the step), the upper body kept perpendicular to the ground, the hind legs kept in a straight line with the upper body, and the knee joint was straight.
Ways to relax muscles:
It is recommended that you use a foam shaft.
The action is relatively simple, that is, support the ground with both hands, put the rear side of the calf on the foam shaft and roll back and forth up and down. Mainly massage calf muscles to soften large muscles. If you want to strengthen training, you can support your body with your hands.
You can massage mainly in places with thick legs, resulting in a feeling of pain and comfort. Keep doing it every night, and you will find changes in a week.
How can bad habits lead to the improvement of calf thickness?
1, you must get rid of these bad habits, such as crossing your legs. If it is difficult to restrain crossing your legs, you can put your calves on your knees when crossing your legs, then hook your toes and turn your ankles, which can maintain the tension of your calves, accelerate fat burning, effectively slim your calves and ankles, and have a certain stretching effect.
2, keep the correct walking posture, pay attention to control the heel landing when walking, strengthen your hip and leg training, exercise the core strength of hip and leg, so that you can burn fat, have a good stretching effect on the calf, reduce the use of the calf when walking, and avoid muscle tension.
3. Sedentary people should stand up regularly to exercise their bones and muscles, so that the whole body can relax, not only stretching the lower limbs, but also stretching the neck and other parts. Or when sitting, you often move your calves and ankles. These small details also determine the success or failure of our calf problem.
4. Changing the walking posture of the inner character and the outer character, doing some training to strengthen the arch of the foot, and strengthening the arch of the foot can also improve the shape of the calf. For example, stand on tiptoe to turn a pen, and do some foot massage to strengthen the strength of the arch.
The calf thickness is 2 1, how to change the method of calf height lifting?
Nowadays, many people often sit at work, so when they sit for a long time, they should raise their calves flush with their hearts. At night, they can also raise their calves with pillows. Or lie on your side, support your upper body with your hands, then bend one leg to straighten the other, then slowly lift that leg for ten times, and then do the same with the other leg. Insist on sitting down, and the condition of thick calves can be improved.
2, 10 minute fast slimming method
People's calves are thick because of edema. If you want to make your calves thinner, you can massage your legs for ten minutes before the date. In this way, the waste in the body can be discharged, then some slimming cream can be applied, and then the calf can be lifted high, and the leg thickness can be reduced by 2-3cm after a short rest.
Step 3 Touch your hands alternately
For friends with thick calves, you can also stick your palm around your calves and touch them up alternately, so do it 10 times. You can also take the method of rubbing your hands to thin your calves, and you can also rub your palms on your calves until your calves get hot.
4. Varicose socks
For women who usually work for many times or sit for a long time, because the venous blood of the calf is gathered downwards under the influence of the gravity of the heart, it will lead to severe fatigue or swelling of the calf for a long time, and even veins will appear. Therefore, in order to ensure the beauty of the calf, it is recommended to wear elastic varicose socks.
