Running can reduce body fat, so as to achieve the purpose of slimming the whole body. On the whole, the legs are naturally thinner.

Keep running, especially long-distance running. With continuous aerobic exercise, muscles will be gradually lost, including leg muscles.

Sweating helps to eliminate edema. Some people have thick legs because of edema, and sweating is one of the ways to eliminate edema.

Since running helps thin legs, why make them thicker?

Just after running, there will be congestion in the legs, so the legs will thicken visually, but this is only a temporary phenomenon and will disappear after the congestion is over.

Operation action error

During running, the forefoot mainly exerts force and the heel does not touch the ground. This kind of running will make the calf muscles contract more and participate in sports, so the calf load is heavy and it is easy to cause the calf muscles to thicken.

The adjustment method is to take a step forward with the muscles on the front side of the thigh, then the heel will land first, and the center of gravity will go along the outside of the sole of the foot to avoid the exertion of the calf, reduce the participation of the calf muscles and avoid excessive use of the calf muscles.

During running, you need enough back kicks to use gluteus muscles. Only when gluteal muscle contraction is involved, the muscle participation of thighs and calves of lower limbs will be reduced, and it is not easy to thicken thighs and calves. This can be visually distinguished. If you feel jumping during running, it means that your leg muscles are too involved.

Poor balance ability and insufficient stability. When the body is unstable, the calf muscles will contract reflexively under the control of the nervous system to maintain balance, and the toes will catch more and exert more force. This will not only make the calf thicker, but also increase the possibility of physical injury.

Therefore, if the balance ability is not enough, it is necessary to improve the balance ability through training, which will increase the possibility of hurting the body.

Ignore stretching after running: stretching after exercise is beneficial to relax the tense muscles after exercise and prevent muscle stiffness and blood accumulation in muscles.

Wear comfortable running shoes, which has been said. Walking in uncomfortable shoes can cause leg discomfort, not to mention running.
