Can you lose weight by running? Will the legs get thicker?
Running is a whole-body exercise, and all muscles can be exercised, so it is no problem to lose weight. Relax your legs in time after running so as not to get thicker. It can make muscles of the whole body contract and relax rhythmically, increase muscle fibers and increase protein content. Muscular development is one of the signs of bodybuilding.

Benefits of running:

First, bones are the scaffolding of the body and the lever of human activities. Teenagers in the growth and development period can improve blood circulation, increase nutrient supply to bone cells, improve the growth ability of bone cells, and thus promote the normal development of bones. The metabolism of the elderly is weakened, muscles are gradually atrophied, bones are degenerated, and bone and joint diseases are increasing. Persisting in running can strengthen metabolism, delay the degenerative changes of bones, prevent the occurrence of bone and joint diseases in the elderly, and thus delay your aging.

Second, the heart is the general hub of blood supply to the whole body and the driving force of life. Long-term running will make your heart muscle stronger and increase the content of protein and myoglobin. Under the X-ray perspective, it can be clearly seen that the athlete's heart is bigger than the average person, with a plump appearance and a strong pulse. The average person's heart volume is 765-785 ml, while those who insist on exercise can reach1015-1027 ml, and the heartbeat is slower than that of normal people 10-20 beats/min, thus reducing the workload of the heart. On the other hand, running can enhance the endurance of the heart. As we all know, when the heartbeat exceeds 100 beats/minute, the average person will feel dizzy, flustered and breathless. Long-term runners can tolerate 150 times/minute.

Third, people's life activities can not be separated from oxygen for a moment, inhaling fresh oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Vital capacity and maximal ventilation are important indexes to measure the health of respiratory function. Running can develop respiratory muscles and increase vital capacity 1-2 liters. The maximum oxygen uptake of trained athletes is 33-60% higher than that of ordinary people.

Fourth, running can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, increase the secretion of digestive juice, improve digestion and absorption capacity, thereby increasing appetite, supplementing nutrition and enhancing physical fitness.

Running is a very healthy activity, and it has many benefits. People who insist on running are strong and have little chance of getting sick. Running is a popular fitness method.
