The correct treadmill running method will not make the legs thicker, but also play a role in stovepipe. However, improper use of the treadmill may also cause the legs to thicken.

There are two main reasons for the phenomenon of thick legs after running:

First, some people feel very tired and nervous when running, and think that their calves are "long and thick". In fact, this is just an illusion;

Second, the method is wrong. Running on the treadmill is too intense. High-intensity, intense anaerobic exercise may make the calf grow muscles, resulting in thick legs, while aerobic exercise consumes sugar, fat and amino acids in the body, only subtracting excess fat.

Extended data:

1, mistakenly think that the longer you run, the better.

No matter what you do, you should pay attention to one degree, at which you can get the best effect. When you exceed this degree, you can't achieve the ideal fitness effect, and sometimes it may be counterproductive. The same is true of treadmill weight loss exercise. When we run, the body produces lactic acid. If you run for a long time, you will accumulate a lot of lactic acid, which will lead to muscle pain, fatigue and muscle spasm. Not only that, long-term exercise will make you feel very tired the next day, and your physical condition will not recover, which will affect your work efficiency.

I mistakenly think that the greater the intensity of running exercise, the better.

Some friends who are eager to lose weight through treadmill exercise mistakenly believe that the greater the intensity of exercise, the better the effect of exercise on losing weight. In fact, it is not that the higher the intensity of running on the treadmill, the better the effect of losing weight.
