How to stretch your calves after exercise?

There are often people around us who have this question, thinking that their calves will become thicker after exercise. In fact, the occurrence of this situation is a manifestation of our incorrect exercise method. As long as we pay a little attention when exercising, we can avoid this problem. Many people choose to stretch their calves after exercise, which is actually a relatively effective method. So how do you stretch your calves after exercise?

Stretching after exercise will not reduce muscle mass. Instead, it will enhance the synergy between muscles and help increase the rate of muscle growth. However, female friends do not need to worry that stretching and muscle training will lead to thicker legs. Stretching after exercise will make muscles more elastic, avoid muscle stiffness and "dead" muscles, and make the calves more linear rather than stiff and thick.

1. Sitting ligament stretching: bring the chest close to the knees, and do not bend the knees. When you feel soreness in your leg ligaments and back, stop stretching, take two deep breaths, and slowly return to the starting position. Repeat the action 12 times.

2. Ligament stretching in lying position: slowly pull up and straighten your left leg without bending your knee. Tighten your buttocks and thigh muscles until your thigh is at a right angle to your body. Stop stretching, take two deep breaths, and slowly return to the starting position.

3. There is another simple movement that I like the most: stand up straight, open your feet as wide as shoulders, open your toes outwards towards your legs, do not bend your feet, bend your body downward, and use your hands to touch your toes, sides of your feet, and back of your feet. Feel the stretch on the inside, outside, and back of your legs.

4. Spread your legs and feet apart, bend one leg and squat, straighten the other leg, and vibrate and press the body toward the side of the straight leg. When practicing, alternate between the left and right legs.

5. Split: Place your hands on the ground in front of your body, spread your legs apart in a straight line, and lie prone or sideways with your upper body.

6. Cross-legged forward bend: sit cross-legged with your knees bent, soles of your feet facing each other; hold your feet with your hands; bend your upper body forward.
