Causes and treatments of thick calves

The condition of thickening calves has a great impact on many female friends, because thickening calves will make you unable to wear skirts, and you feel that wearing skirts will make others see your fat legs. Therefore, we suggest that you should know the exercise methods to make your calves thicker in life, so that you can better get rid of the impact of thickening calves. Let’s take a look at its training methods below.

There are three main situations in which legs become thick: First, the reason for thick legs is "fatness", characterized by soft and white flesh, and weak calves, especially the back of the thighs, where the skin looks loose, just like what people often call cellulite. If this continues, even your hips will start to look saggy. Secondly, the reason for thick legs is "strong", the characteristic is that the meat is actually quite firm and does not look so white. Some people even have a piece of muscle in the calf. Thirdly, the reason for thick legs is "swelling". The legs that were originally slender and well-proportioned become swollen due to sitting or standing for a long time, especially for office workers who often eat out and work in air-conditioned rooms. They look neither fat nor strong, but just have a pair of big and thick legs. Some people may simply have fat legs or strong legs, while others may have fat legs and edema, or strong legs and edema. Observe your condition carefully, pinch your legs, and think about your lifestyle habits.

The key to training for fat legs

1. Exercise moderately. Loose fat usually appears because of a lack of exercise habit or because of people who used to exercise a lot but suddenly stopped the exercise habit, such as athletes or dancers who retired from the sports world. Moderate exercise can tighten and strengthen muscles and create beautiful lines.

2. Eat less meat, starch and other staple foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Another characteristic of the fat-legged group is that they often eat more staple food than side dishes. This is also the main cause of obesity. People who don't like to exercise and eat too much fat and carbohydrates will have fat in many places, not just in their legs!

3. Use alternating hot and cold baths to promote blood circulation. This trick can also eliminate swollen legs.

The key to training for strong legs

1. Exercise should be moderate. You may ask, how is this different from the first key to training for those with fat legs? It is indeed different. Moderate exercise is for active children, because too much exercise may not be beneficial unless you deliberately want to develop developed muscles. However, I have also seen friends rupture their ligaments after playing basketball for a few days, but fortunately they recovered later.

2. Relax for a while after exercise, then gently massage your legs to relax your muscles so that your legs don’t become stiff. This experience comes from a good friend who has been studying ballet for many years. She broke my impression that most dancers have flat chests and thick legs. She has a beautiful figure. It is said that after each dance practice, the teacher would ask them to work in pairs to massage each other's legs.

3. Don’t lift heavy objects often. That's simply doing weight-bearing exercises! It will make the leg muscles bulge! So ask boys to help you when moving things, and use a shopping cart when buying groceries. Lifting heavy objects frequently will also cause a burden on the waist and back.

If female friends want to get rid of the impact of thickening calves in their lives, we recommend that you exercise more, strictly control your diet, eat less greasy food, and eat more vegetables and fruits. If we want to get rid of the thickening of calves in our lives, we need to exercise them according to the exercise methods introduced in the article.
