Will my calves get thicker if I run every day?

Running every day is really a very good way to exercise, and if you can stick to it every day, it not only means that a person can lose weight successfully, but also means that this person has extraordinary endurance. In the process of running, we can not only breathe fresh air, but also improve our own resistance, and even give ourselves a slim figure. So will running every day make your calves thicker?

In fact, as long as you run in the right way, it will not make your legs thicker and can also help you lose weight. If you don’t believe me, just look at those long-distance runners. They all have very well-proportioned bodies.

In fact, many times the real culprit of thick thighs is fat. Generally speaking, losing fat is much easier than gaining muscle. After a period of effective fat-loss exercise, the muscles will usually become firmer and tighter, while the circumference of the legs will decrease. General jogging, relaxing running and long-distance running not for the purpose of competition are all relatively gentle exercises that will make these fats disappear. At the same time, the degree of muscle development is relatively small. Therefore, these types of running will not only not make the legs thicker, but also have the effect of slimming the legs.

Other relatively gentle exercises include: cycling, skipping rope, swimming, etc. On the contrary, high-intensity exercises such as fast running and strength training will increase muscle volume and make the legs thicker.

Running mainly involves: the quadriceps femoris, biceps femoris, calf muscles, etc. It is best to stretch in sequence before and after running. Stretching your muscles before running helps warm up, increase body flexibility and prevent sports injuries. Stretching after running helps to lengthen muscles, reduce fatigue and promote recovery.

In fact, the hormone secretion required for muscle synthesis in women is very small, so it is difficult to build muscle even with a lot of exercise. Moreover, a normal diet can only help a limited amount in terms of muscle growth. However, it is worth mentioning that any muscles that are exercised can absorb nutrients more easily than muscles that have not been used for a long time. Exercise can also relatively increase the level of growth hormone. Therefore, whether each person's legs will become thicker during exercise depends on the specific situation. For example, everyone's genetic conditions are different, and it is not ruled out that running will cause the lower limbs of a very small number of women to become thicker.
