Which muscles does running exercise?

Running can exercise almost all the muscles in the body, such as our calf muscles, thigh muscles, waist and abdominal muscles can be well exercised. At the same time, it can also help us achieve the effect of losing weight, help us increase our lung capacity, get rid of many unnecessary cardiopulmonary and respiratory diseases, and effectively improve the body's overall metabolic capacity. Let's introduce in detail which muscles are exercised by running.

1. It can exercise the gluteus maximus, quadriceps, gastrocnemius, soleus and other leg muscle groups! If you run for a long time, the most important thing is to strengthen your cardiopulmonary function! Long-term running will strengthen the myocardium and make the heart function better! For example, your heart used to contract 75 times per minute, and after long-term running, your heart contracts 68 times per minute! This means that long-term running has strengthened your myocardium, and the amount of blood pumped by your heart each time it contracts has increased, so the number of contractions per unit time has been reduced! And your lung function will also be enhanced! It is recommended to jog for more than half an hour every day! Wish you good luck!

2. Running is a whole-body exercise. I keep running for an hour every day for more than half a year, starting with the knees, then the thighs and calves; the arms are the most obvious, and what’s even more surprising is that my waist and abdomen have also become firmer. The effect is really good!

3. Running mainly exercises the calf muscles. But running is not for muscle building, but for whole body exercise. Running is the best aerobic exercise. It can exercise your cardiopulmonary function and also exercise the major joints of the body.

Running is a very good aerobic exercise that can effectively help us exercise muscles all over the body, but we must persist and not give up after a few days. Otherwise, we will not be able to achieve good exercise results. While exercising, we must also make scientific and reasonable arrangements for our diet.
