How to run without growing calf muscles

Many people use inappropriate running methods, which causes our calves to gradually become thicker and grow more muscles. Thickening of the calves will greatly reduce our appearance and have a great impact on our employment and marriage. Moreover, if this situation is allowed to develop for a long time, disease problems will arise. It is very important to understand how to run without growing muscles in the calves.

From the perspective of sports medicine, running at night is more scientific. As long as you control the intensity of exercise, running at night can help you sleep better.

Slight fatigue is good for rest

Jiao Wei introduced that sports medicine has proven that when people just wake up in the morning, the functioning of the human organs is still at a low level. Exercising at this time is more dangerous for people with weak cardiovascular function. The human body's ability to move is fully developed at night, so when running at this time, the body can more easily adapt to the rhythm of exercise.

In terms of the external environment, the latest research shows that the carbon dioxide index in the air is highest in the early morning, and the dust suspended in the air the day before has not completely disappeared. Exercising at this time is far less good than at night.

In addition, the slight fatigue caused by moderate exercise at night needs sweet sleep to relieve it, which greatly improves the quality of sleep after exercise. Therefore, it is unreasonable to worry that exercise will affect sleep.

Start your evening exercise with a walk

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it is best to run and exercise in the evening at least three times a week, each time for 30-60 minutes. The intensity of exercise should be controlled within the range of "pulse rate not exceeding 120 beats/minute after 5 minutes of running, and not exceeding 100 beats/minute after 10 minutes". If your heart rate is too fast, you must reduce the amount of exercise; if you can talk to others while exercising, it means that the exercise intensity is acceptable.

When running, try to land on the forefoot, do not run for too long, and do not use too much force. This can effectively prevent our calf muscles from growing. After running, you can pat your calves in time to promote muscle relaxation, which can also effectively help us relieve the continuous growth of muscles.
