How to prevent muscle legs after exercise

Obesity is a big problem that troubles many female friends. Too much fat in the body will cause a large amount of fat and garbage in the body. If it is not discharged in time, a lot of fat will cause obesity and fat in some parts of the body, which greatly affects the personal image. Exercise is needed to lose weight, but muscular legs often appear after exercise. How to prevent muscular legs? Let us take a look at it together below.

Steps/Methods:

Calf stretching exercise: Place your hands on the wall, keep your heels on the ground, straighten your legs, and feel your calves being stretched. Hold for 15 seconds, then repeat with the other leg. Do 3 sets for each leg.

Front thigh (quadriceps) stretch: stand on one leg with one hand against the wall, grab the ankle or foot with one hand and pull it backward, feeling the front of the thigh being stretched, hold for 15 seconds, then switch legs and repeat. Stretch each leg 3 times. Be careful not to let your knees turn outward when stretching. This exercise can also be done while lying on your stomach or side.

Use your left elbow to press your right knee to the left side of your body, and feel the outer side of your right thigh being stretched. At the same time, twist your waist to the right, and feel the left side of your waist muscles being stretched. Hold for 15 seconds, then repeat these two movements on the other side.

Landing skills

The most important technique for losing weight is running. Many girls land on the forefoot when running, which makes running easy and effortless, but it is not suitable for girls with thick calves. The correct way to prevent your calves from getting thicker is to land on your heels and then jog with the entire sole of your foot touching the ground.

Even if you adopt the correct running posture, female friends will still feel that their calves are "growing thicker" in the early stages of jogging. This is because after regular running, the calves become tired, stiff, hard, and tight, which gives female friends the illusion that their calves are getting thicker.

Aerobic exercise

The actual fat burning starts after 30 minutes of continuous exercise, so you need to keep running for more than half an hour. It is important to note that you should not mistakenly believe that the more intense the exercise, the better the weight loss effect. 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 the speed is accelerated, the calories consumed will indeed increase, but it will cause excessive burden on the calves and knees, and the muscles will grow faster.

Calf stretch

Stretching after exercise is crucial to shaping your calves. Lazy ladies can completely give up the traditional leg-lifting press. A more convenient way is to stand at an arm's width away from the wall, then support yourself with your hands on the wall, with your body forming a 30-degree angle with the wall. Hold on for 5 minutes and feel your calf muscles being infinitely stretched. You can adjust the position according to your body flexibility.

I believe that after reading this, everyone has a deeper understanding of how to prevent muscular legs after exercise. I also hope that everyone will pay attention to the methods of exercise to lose weight in daily life. Female friends should try to relax their legs after exercise, and the body should not be overly fatigued to avoid physical injuries. In addition, calf massage after exercise is also more effective.
