Will jogging make your calves fat?

Maybe many of us have particularly fat calves, which has a great negative impact on our appearance. Many of us also encounter various unfavorable conditions when buying clothes, and buy clothes very inappropriately. Many people have great doubts about whether jogging will make calves fat. Many people are afraid that their calves will get fat when jogging, so they don't jog. Let's briefly explain whether jogging will make calves fat.

1 Long-distance running 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.

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. Massage time is more than 15 minutes, relaxation is more thorough

2. Running is indeed a good way to lose weight, but many girls stay away from it, thinking that running will make their calves thicker, which is simply a nightmare. In fact, this is all caused by wrong running habits and has no direct relationship with running itself.

In fact, our general jogging is an aerobic exercise, which can consume calories, burn fat, and exercise cardiopulmonary function. Some people worry that running too much will make their calves thicker. There are two main reasons for this worry:

1. Poor landing technique leads to illusion.

Some people run on tiptoe, which makes their calves tired and tight, and they feel like their calves are "growing". In fact, this is just an illusion. A person's basic shape is innate, and so is the shape of the legs. Your calves won't become noticeably thicker just by running a few times. In aerobic strength training, such as dumbbell exercises and barbell exercises, the muscle expansion rate will not exceed 20%.

Therefore, during daily running, even if your calves become thicker, it will not exceed this ratio, and this ratio is almost invisible.

As long as you master scientific methods and techniques during jogging, your calves will not become fat. Fat calves may appear because we sit for a long time and do not pay attention to activities, which leads to fat accumulation and calf fattening. Increasing physical exercise can effectively alleviate similar problems.
