Warm-up before running can not only prevent leg strain, but also make the calf enter the "best state" to a certain extent, fully burn the excess heat in your body and prevent the calf from getting thicker.
Landing mode of feet
When race walkers compete, they always choose to land with their heels first, so their calves will not have such developed muscles. This is a link that many people have not noticed. Bian Xiao reminded me that once many people landed on their front feet while running. This way of running will be more relaxed and comfortable, but if you want to achieve the effect of stovepipe, you can choose the heel first. The road to landing.
Aerobic exercise, really effective aerobic exercise is best to persist for more than half an hour, in order to achieve the effect of burning fat and stovepipe. When you don't have enough exercise time, fat can't be fully decomposed; Excessive exercise means that you will inhale less oxygen. Hypoxia will cause cells to enter anaerobic respiration to produce lactic acid, which will increase the burden on the calf and increase muscles. Therefore, generally 6-8km/hr jogging can achieve the goal of stovepipe weight loss ~ Stretching the calf after exercise will make the muscles not accumulate after running. Sister Yue recommends a method of stretching after exercise. Stand with one arm away from the wall, and then hold it with your hands (push-ups with your five fingers will be better). Your body is at an angle of 30 degrees to the wall. Stick to it for 5 minutes, and the muscles of the calf will be infinitely stretched. Pay attention to adjust according to your body flexibility.
Soaking your feet in hot water after stretching your calves is the most common thing in Bian Xiao ~ When you put your feet in hot water, you will suddenly feel exhausted all day. Hot water can promote blood circulation and instantly relax tight muscles. After the foot bath, you can massage from bottom to top with body lotion along the direction of muscle stretching, or you can gently pat to absorb swelling. Stick to it and you will have slender legs ~
