What are some warm-up exercises before running?

Many of us like sports, because we attach great importance to the health of our body. In today's society, health is very important to us. Most people choose running, or some indoor sports. Also because of environmental factors, many people do not like outdoor activities. Of course, some aerobic exercise is also needed. Many people do not do warm-up before exercise. If you do not warm up, you will strain your calf during exercise. Therefore, warm-up exercises before running are very important. Let's learn about it together!

1. Pay attention to warm-up: It is believed that warm-up before exercise is a principle that no longer needs to be popularized, especially before running, when leg stretching is particularly important. Only when the calves are fully warmed up and stretched properly can they be in the best condition to participate in the "weight loss battle".

2. Aerobic exercise burns fat: The actual fat burning starts after 30 minutes of continuous exercise, so running exercise needs to be persisted 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.

3. Land on your heels: the most important technique for losing weight through 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. We can compare it to race walking. Think about which race walker has overdeveloped calf muscles?

4. Stretch your calves: 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.

Now we have an understanding of the warm-up exercises before running. These activities can reduce the harm we cause to our bodies during activities and reduce sports injuries. Of course, we should also choose a method that suits us to warm up. We should also pay attention to safety while running and choose suitable clothes and shoes, otherwise it will affect the body. Health is important, but safety is more important.
