Can running in the morning help you lose weight?

A good figure cannot be ruined by fat legs. Do you want to slim down your legs but can't find a good way to do it? Many people can achieve the effect of slimming down their legs by running. At the same time, many people have doubts, can running in the morning achieve the effect of slimming down your legs? Why do some people lose weight while others can't? In fact, running can slim down your legs, but you must pay attention to the following issues when running. Let us take a closer look at them.

Running in the morning can have the effect of having thinner legs. Long-distance running can not only reduce excess leg fat, but also reduce leg muscles. For example, in your favorite sports like running (especially long-distance running) or cycling, the slow-twitch muscle fibers will gradually grow larger, but the fast-twitch muscle fibers, the main force for muscle growth, will not grow significantly, and may even atrophy.

If your goal is to have slim legs and lose weight, you can jog for more than 40 minutes, 3 to 5 times a week; if you just want to exercise your cardiovascular system and don't need to lose weight, then running for about 20 minutes will be enough. Muscle exercise itself has the effect of reducing fat, so if you don’t have much fat, you can directly exercise your muscles to build muscle and reduce fat.

In addition, you can also perform leg massage on a regular basis, which helps soften leg muscles and 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 is more than 15 minutes, and the relaxation is more thorough!

It is best to stand for a while after running in the morning, with your feet shoulder-width apart, then straighten your toes and lift your legs at 90 degrees to the ground. As you lift your legs, tighten your abs. Slowly raise your knee to the same height as your hips, then keep it there for half a minute, then switch to the other leg and do it for half a minute. You may not be able to keep steady at the beginning, so you can hold on to a wall or other support. But remember not to put all your strength on the support, concentrate it on your legs.

If you insist on running in the morning, the effect of slimming your legs is quite obvious. Therefore, girls who want to slim their legs may wish to use the method of running, but everyone must pay attention to the above problems when running, otherwise it is very likely to be a waste of time! Therefore, girls who want to slim their legs must find the right method! Don’t sit down immediately after running, you must stand for a while according to the above method!
