How to slim down your calf muscles

If large muscles grow on the calves, it will look very uncoordinated. For some female friends, the calf muscles are even as thick as the thighs, which makes them afraid to wear shorts or skirts in the summer. If the muscles in your calves are too thick, you can run to reduce the muscles in your calves, or you can do some classic yoga moves to slim down your calves. The following mainly introduces methods of slimming legs through running and yoga.

Support your feet with your hands. Since runners mainly exercise their lower body, this movement is very effective for strengthening the upper body, especially the hands and shoulders. Come and try it. Relax your hands and support them on the right side of your right leg. Bend your left knee, bring your legs together, and lift your hips. This way your body is still twisted. Bend your arms, place your right hip on your right elbow, and place the outside of your right knee on your left elbow. Shift your weight into your hands and lift your feet off the ground, extending your left foot straight back.

Downward Dog, a classic yoga pose, works both your upper and lower body and stretches your ligaments. Support yourself with your hands and feet, and lift your body into an inverted "V" shape. Make sure your hands are shoulder-width apart with your fingers spread out. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, heels pointed back, and toes, heels, and hips aligned. Relax your head, maintain this position, and take 5 deep breaths.

One-legged Downward Dog Pose, this variation of the one-legged Downward Dog Pose bends the raised leg, which can improve hip flexibility and stretch the spine and tendons. Start in Downward Dog with your feet together and your thumbs pressed together. Keeping your left heel on the floor, lift your right leg into Single-Legged Downward Dog and bend your knee. Try to bring the heel of your right leg toward your buttocks and stretch your knee upward as far as possible. Lift your head and look to the left, extending and flexing your spine. Bring your right heel as close to your head as possible. Hold this position for 5 deep breaths, then relax.

Running is a very common way of fitness, needless to say. However, not everyone is good at yoga, especially some beginners. They often do not perform yoga movements properly or even do them randomly. This not only fails to reduce the size of the calf muscles, but also easily causes calf muscle strain. So it is best to find a professional coach to learn yoga.
