Why have my calves become thicker recently

If there are muscles in the calf area, it is particularly difficult to lose weight, because there are many movements that cannot exercise our calves. Therefore, we must stretch after doing some exercises such as running, so that our muscles can be stretched and fat will not accumulate to form muscular legs. Sometimes the calves become thicker in waves, so why do I feel that my calves have become thicker recently?

What are the common causes of fat calves?

Caused by genetic inheritance

Born with thick calves, this is a congenital gene inheritance. Even if you rarely do physical exercise, your calves will appear thicker than those of ordinary people. This kind of weight loss is generally difficult, but regular leg slimming massage and leg slimming exercises will still have a certain effect.

High-intensity physical exercise

The calves become thick due to high-intensity physical exercise, such as squats, long jumps, weightlifting and other explosive activities, which can easily make the calf muscles become thicker to withstand high-intensity training. This is why athletes who undergo high-intensity training generally have very strong calves.

Bad posture such as walking on tiptoe

For example, bad living habits such as walking on tiptoes, holding very high objects, etc. since childhood will cause thick calves.

Often wearing shoes that do not fit you

Because the calf lines are not very beautiful, people want to lengthen their calves by wearing unsuitable shoes such as stiletto heels. However, because the calves bear too much weight, the force on the legs begins to shift outward, causing the calf muscles to become increasingly outward-turned. It is recommended not to wear shoes that are too high or have too thin heels.

In daily life, how can we improve carrot legs?

Alternate between high heels and flat shoes

Girls who often wear high heels over 5cm are prone to carrot legs, but if they wear high heels and flat shoes alternately, it can help improve the movement of leg muscles and help eliminate carrot legs. Of course, be careful not to wear high shoes that are too high to avoid spinal deformity and calf muscle stiffness.

Soak your calves in warm water

Soaking your calves in warm water can help promote metabolism in your calves, helping to expel toxins and other substances that accumulate in your calves. However, adding essential oils and bath salts to the water and massaging it will be more effective in eliminating radish legs.

Shave your calves for 20 minutes every day

Buy a ox horn scraping board, apply lotion on your legs, and scrape from top to bottom according to the acupoints. Scrape each acupoint 20 times quickly and forcefully until red lines are left. After finishing the left leg, switch to the right leg. It is best to shave before going to bed every night. After shaving, do not touch cold water and go to bed directly.

Calf massage

Through massage, excess fat in the legs can be consumed, making the legs thinner, longer and straighter. When massaging, you can soak your feet in hot water first, which can speed up blood circulation in the legs and help relax the calves. Then, kneading and beating massage can help lose weight in your calves. It should be noted that the massage time should be preferably about 15 minutes from bottom to top.

Stand on tiptoes for 15 minutes every day

When you stand on tiptoe, the point where the toes touch the ground is the Yongquan point. Stimulating this point has a good effect on blood circulation throughout the body. The Yongquan point controls sleep and is also very helpful in relieving stress. For example, if you practice standing on your toes while brushing your teeth, washing your face, and looking in the mirror every day, and practice for about 15 minutes a day and persist for a month or two, you can reduce your leg circumference by more than 3-5cm.

Pedal your air bike every night

I recommend a very effective local exercise for slimming your legs. Do an aerial bicycle for a few minutes in bed before going to bed at night. Lie down and lift your feet up, and do it like you are pedaling a bicycle. The magazine said to do it a dozen times, but I do it 300 times a day! After that, spread your legs about 80 degrees. This is a total of 80 times. This method is very effective for the flesh at the base of the thigh.
