What to do if your calves get thick after physical training

People who do sports have a common problem that their calves are relatively thick, because people need to exert force in their calves when doing various sports. As the core muscle group of the human body, the calves play a very important role in the human body. The more calf muscles there are, the thicker they will be. However, many people do not like thick calves and want to take some measures to make them thinner. So how can we make thick calves thinner after doing sports?

Legs that have developed muscles due to exercise will, if you don't exercise enough, fat will form between and on top of the muscles. People whose legs become very stiff when they exert force, people who look thinner than their actual weight, or people whose muscles are so strong that it is difficult to pinch the flesh with hands, should pay attention to the following aspects: first, relieve muscle tension through massage, reduce anaerobic exercise that develops muscles, do more aerobic exercise such as brisk walking and swimming, and it is very important to eliminate muscle tension through massage after exercise.

Simple rules

Fast walking and vertical jumping

Walk faster, jump more, and lift your legs more; sit less, stand less, squat less, and walk more and exercise more. This can prevent poor blood circulation in the lower limbs and make the legs look less swollen.

Habitual tiptoeing

Stand on tiptoe whenever possible, such as when waiting for the bus, going up the stairs, during breaks at work, etc. In the long run, you will find that not only your calves become longer, but your ankles also become exceptionally slender.

Don't cross your legs

Crossing your legs can cause calf swelling and seriously affect the leg lines.

Actions for weight loss:

Action 1: Stretch each leg twice, 20 seconds each time.

This movement not only stretches the calves, but also the back of our thighs and buttocks. Keep the leg you are stretching straight, curl your toes, and stretch your calf as much as possible. Bend the other leg and keep it relaxed.

Action 2: Stretch 2 times, 20 seconds each time

Keep your legs straight. If your flexibility is not very good, you can bend your knees slightly, but make sure to curl your toes.

Action 3: Stretch each leg twice, 20 seconds each time

This is a dynamic calf stretch, and curling up the toes is the stretch. Do 20 dynamic stretches. You can keep your supporting leg straight or with your knee slightly bent. If you have trouble keeping your body stable, you can lean against a wall.

Action 4: Stretch each leg twice, 20 seconds each time

This movement stretches the back of the calf. Make sure both soles of your feet are firmly planted on the ground, especially the back of your foot. Make sure your heels do not leave the ground.

Action 5: Stretch 2 times, 20 seconds each time

This movement depends on your personal flexibility. If you have good flexibility, try to keep your palms on the ground. If you are not flexible, you don't have to touch the ground. Just feel your calf being stretched.

To make your calves thinner, you must stretch and massage your calves every day to relax your calf muscles. In addition, if your body fat is too thick, you should lose weight. Losing weight will make your calves thinner overall. At the same time, you should also pay attention to a light diet to avoid fat accumulation.
