Stretching your legs can thin your legs. There are two important muscles on the calf, one is called gastrocnemius, which is also commonly known as calf. This muscle mainly helps to stand, walk and jump. The other muscle is soleus muscle, which is deep in the calf. Can visually lengthen the calf. Generally speaking, gastrocnemius is more developed than soleus. In this way, visually, the calf will protrude and the legs will be thick. At this time, if you do some stretching exercises and exercise soleus muscles, the two muscles will be balanced and your legs will be thin.

The correct way to stovepipe:

Action 1: buttress stretching

1. Stand with your feet slightly open and your palms pressed against the wall.

2. Open your feet back and forth, bend the front of your knees and lean forward. Keep the heel and head in line. Don't leave the heel behind, be sure to stick to the ground.

Action 2: Stretching in Sitting Position

1. The drafter sat in a comfortable seat with his right knee bent and his right foot held by both hands. Through the contraction of leg muscles, make feet and toes as close as possible to the body.

2. From the starting position, try to keep your feet away from your body. The soleus muscles contract for 6 seconds with the same length, then relax and take a deep breath. As you exhale, the leg muscles contract again, making your feet move in the direction of your body and strengthening the stretching of soleus muscles.
