How to run to make your legs thinner

Some people often complain that after running for such a long time, their calves have become thicker. But doesn’t this contradict the claim that running can help you lose weight? Can running really help you lose weight in your legs? In fact, the reason why everyone's legs become thicker is because everyone does not run correctly. Here I will explain to you how to run to make your legs thinner.

1. Warm-up exercises

I believe that warming up before exercise is something that no longer needs to be popularized. The warm-up before running mainly involves stretching exercises for the legs. Only when the calves are fully warmed up and stretched properly can they be put into "battle" in the "best condition". In this way, within the appropriate time frame, the excess calories in your body can be fully burned without making your calves thicker.

2. Aerobic exercise

Real aerobic exercise is to oxidize and decompose the fat in the cells under aerobic conditions. When the exercise time is insufficient, fat cannot be fully broken down. When the exercise intensifies, less oxygen will enter your body. Insufficient oxygen will cause cells to perform anaerobic respiration and produce lactic acid, which will increase the burden on the calves and knees, and accelerate muscle growth. The actual fat burning time starts after 30 minutes of continuous exercise, so running exercise needs to be persisted for more than half an hour, and general jogging at 6-8km/hr is very suitable. Such exercise can naturally achieve the purpose of losing weight and slimming legs.

3. Soak your legs in hot water

Soaking your legs in hot water after stretching your calves will have a better effect. Putting your calves in hot water can fully circulate blood in your calves and completely relax your muscles. After soaking, massage your calves with body lotion, or you can use regular lotion. When massaging, you should follow the direction of muscle stretching from bottom to top. You can also pat gently to allow the calves to better absorb nutrients. Moreover, you can also make the leg muscles stretch longitudinally along the direction of your massage to maintain your pair of beautiful legs.

If you really want to slim down your legs, follow the three points mentioned above, and you don’t have to worry about your calves becoming thicker. Furthermore, if you want to achieve the goal of slimming down your legs, the most important thing is persistence. Many people think that running can’t slim down their legs because they can’t persist. This idea is not correct at all.
