How can running help you lose weight in your legs?

Many people like running, and often run to lose weight. But everyone wants to have the best of both worlds. It would be great if you could slim down your legs while running to improve your weight loss efficiency. Although running is not very effective in slimming down your legs, there are still some ways to achieve the effect of slimming down your legs through running. Let the editor take you to learn about it today, don’t miss it.

1. Massage your legs for about 10 minutes before running to allow the fat in your legs to flow away. Then, running will make it easier to consume the fat in your legs.

2. It is best to run indoors, keep your arms swinging, and reduce the swing amplitude of your legs. This can not only consume a large amount of calories, but also reduce the stimulation to the leg muscles, which is conducive to shaping beautiful curves.

3. Protein promotes muscle formation. Only consume enough protein to maintain body functions every day. Especially after exercise, avoid consuming too much protein to prevent new muscles from growing in the legs.

4. 30 minutes after finishing running, bathe your legs three times with alternating cold and hot water. Remember to relax your legs after bathing, and loosen and relax tense leg muscles in time.

5. Perform relaxation activities within 15 to 30 minutes after running, massage and stretch your calves more. Massage for more than 15 minutes can completely relax your calf muscles. You can make a circle with your hands, circle the calf muscles and lift them up, from the ankle to the base of the thigh. Apply slight pressure to your groin with the outside of your palm. Press the knee joint 7 times, using some force. Press in the middle of the front thigh from the knee to the top of the thigh.

6. When running, don't put too much force on your toes, otherwise it will cause tension and fatigue in your calves, increase the feeling of swelling, and make your legs appear "thicker".

7. Run at a jogging pace for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You may feel uncomfortable at the beginning, but you can proceed step by step and gradually reach this standard. Run at least three times a week. When the fat in the legs decreases, the legs will become stronger and the leg circumference will decrease accordingly.
