Four seas net: running can thin crus after all! When you run, will your calves get thicker? Today Xiaobian is going to reveal the truth about running thin calves. Many girls are worried, even complaining that running makes their calves thicker. Today Xiaobian is going to take you out of a traditional running misunderstanding.
Truth 1: warm up
It is believed that there is no need to popularize warm-up exercise before exercise, especially before running, which is particularly important for leg stretch. Only when the warm-up is sufficient and the calf is stretched in place, can the calf be put into operation in the 'best condition'.
Truth 2: landing skills
The most important technique of running to lose weight. Many mm runners will land on the ground with their forefoot, which is easy and effortless to run, but it is not suitable for those with strong legs. The correct way to avoid calf thickening is to land on the ground with the heel, and then jog with the whole foot touching the ground. Can compare to Cheng race walk, recall which race walk athlete's calf muscle is too developed?
Truth 3: aerobic exercise
The real time to burn fat is after 30 minutes of continuous exercise, so running requires more than half an hour. It should be noted that it is wrong to only focus on the calories consumed in each exercise. Generally, jogging at 6-8km / HR is very suitable. Once the intensity is increased and accelerated, the amount of heat consumed does increase, but it will cause too much burden on the lower leg and knee, and the muscle will accelerate growth.
Truth 4: stretching is the key to leg plasticity
Here's a little trick. Lazy MM people can give up the traditional leg bending press. The more convenient way is to stand a arm wide distance from the wall, then support the wall with hands, and form a 30 degree angle between the body and the wall. Hold on for 5 minutes, feel the calf muscles being stretched infinitely, which can be adjusted according to the flexibility of your body.
Truth 5: hot water legs
Don't just think that you're done stretching your calves. There's still a step to go before the leg beautifying program. That's to stick to soaking your calves in hot water after running. You can buy a bucket, bubble legs, listen to music and read books, and fully promote the blood circulation of the calves. Every time after soaking the calves, it's better to use some lotion to massage your calves. The requirement for choosing the lotion is not very high. You can massage from the lower part of the calves to the upper part, and then use the massage method of finger ring slipping until it is completely absorbed.
