Will running make your legs thicker?

We all know that many people like to use running as a way of exercising. On the one hand, it may be because running is not only simple to do, but also easier to implement. Some female friends who want to run for fitness may worry whether running will make their legs thicker. If so, the disadvantages may outweigh the advantages. Let me tell you the answer to this question today.

Will jogging cause your calves to become thicker? No, on the contrary, jogging is very good for relaxing muscles throughout the body and it also effectively consumes fat. It has a good effect on those parts of the body that are hard to lose weight. Perhaps many people will encounter this situation in the early stages of losing weight through jogging or skipping rope; after just a few days of exercise, they suddenly find that their thighs and calves are harder than before, and seem to be thicker and uglier than before. So I mistakenly thought that my thighs had grown too much muscle and that such exercise would only make me fatter, so I stopped exercising.

This phenomenon mostly occurs in people who are not very overweight and do not have very high body fat. In the first few days of jogging, your thighs may become harder and thicker. In fact, this is a normal exercise reaction. The thickening of the thighs is just an illusion and is only temporary. The reason for the thickening and hardening is not the growth of muscles in your thighs. This is because you have just started exercising and your body is still very adaptable to exercise. During the exercise, lactic acid and body fluids are produced in the thighs, which accumulate and form the result of hardening and thickening.

However, this situation is only short-term and temporary. To alleviate this phenomenon, after each running exercise, you should carry out careful and systematic stretching exercises for your thighs and buttocks.

People who experience these conditions do not need to worry, just keep exercising and the symptoms will disappear after a short period of time. People who run for a long time can make their thighs more symmetrical and toned.
