How to Massage Your Calf Muscles

The calf muscles may sometimes feel stiff, and other times they may cramp. In addition, some people's calf muscles may be "dead flesh", and such muscles are often extremely lacking in exercise. All of these problems can be improved through massage. Of course, massaging the calf muscles also requires certain methods and techniques. If the massage technique is improper, it will not be effective. Here are the detailed steps of calf muscle massage.

Step 1: Use both hands to pinch the calf muscles and massage from the middle to the bottom, constantly changing the muscles you pinch, and repeat 5 times. Step 2: Twist the calf muscles left and right like twisting a rag, constantly changing the twisting position from the ankle to the knee, and repeat 5 times. Step 3: Hold your calves with both hands, press the leg bones in front of the calves with your thumbs, massage from bottom to top, and repeat 3 times. In addition to the thumb, the other fingers should also increase the strength of massaging the muscles accordingly.

Step 4. Place your thumbs on your knees, hold the thigh muscles with both hands, press and massage, and repeat 5 times. To change your muscular legs, the first step is to massage more and then reduce fat! Massage method: Massage from the ankle to the thigh, make a circle with your hands, circle the calf to lift the calf muscles upward; press hard at the knee pit 7 times; press from the knee to the thigh on the midline of the front thigh; press slightly with the outside of the palm of your hand at the groin. The massage time should be more than 15 minutes for more thorough relaxation.

Of course, softening fat muscles is only the first step. The next step is to use effective exercise to eliminate fat. All fat-burning exercises can reduce fat. 40 minutes of aerobic exercise is the most effective, with a heart rate of 110-140 and no heavy breathing. Stretch your legs after exercise. Continuous aerobic exercise for 1 hour can consume muscle, but 40 minutes is still the main focus. If you feel relaxed after jogging for 40 minutes, you can switch to interval training, which will be more effective.

Calf muscle massage has great benefits. By stimulating the calf muscles through massage, blood circulation can be greatly promoted, and muscle metabolism can be promoted. This is conducive to the rapid metabolism of lactic acid in the calf muscles, thereby avoiding calf muscle soreness. Especially for those friends who like sports, if they master the massage method of calf muscles, they will hardly feel any discomfort in their calves the next day after a day of tiring training.
