Fat legs? Japanese experts: women are less likely
People who wear the same short skirt or shorts with long and thin legs are always very good-looking. Therefore, many women avoid running, cycling or other lower limb sports in order to prevent their legs from becoming thick or forming radish legs. If they have to meet the required physical education class, they often look for opportunities to be lazy.
Does running really make your legs thicker? As long as you don't inject male hormones, even if you do general muscle strength training, women won't become hard muscles. Even if you do special training to thicken the muscle fibers of a specific part, it is difficult for a woman's body to build strong muscles, and it will not obviously thicken her legs because of running.
I feel my legs get thicker after running! The real reason is these two kinds of
If you have ever thought that running makes your legs thicker or turnip legs appear, there may be two reasons. First, after each run, when the subcutaneous fat is too late to burn and hasn't been completely eliminated, eat and drink. Naturally, fat will be added, and the leg lines will look stronger.
The second reason is illusion. As soon as people use muscles, the blood that carries energy will be concentrated in a specific moving part, resulting in a similar phenomenon of edema and thickening. However, this "swelling" phenomenon is due to the transient response of the body after intense exercise. It does not really thicken. Don't worry, it will soon return to its original state.
Lower limbs lack of muscle strength training "energy saving constitution" is more likely to be fat
To form a regular and correct running habit will not make the legs thicker, but will make the leg muscles stronger and more wired, and maintain a certain proportion of the leg muscles, which can not only protect the knee joint, but also help reduce weight.
The muscles of the lower half of the body account for about 70% of the muscles of the whole body. As long as the movement of the lower half of the body is not carried out, the muscles will become thinner. If the muscles of the legs are less, the surrounding of the legs will be covered by thick fat, become puffy and loose, and it is easy to feel tired. It is not long before you walk or stand that you want to sit down, resulting in a gradual decrease in the amount of activity.
In the long run, the vicious circle will only turn into energy-saving constitution, which is not easy to burn calories. If you eat a little more, you will get fat. So if you want to maintain a pair of symmetrical legs, you should first form the habit of regular running and exercise!
