How to get rid of calf fat

Leg shape directly affects people's body proportions, but fleshy and thick calves often trouble female friends. Reducing calf fat has become a lifelong pursuit for many female friends, but how can one achieve the goal of reducing calf fat? Below, the editor will introduce the specific methods in detail. Female friends can also try them themselves to create slim and beautiful legs.

Muscular calves are common in people

Retired athletes, people who used to over-exercise, and people who gain muscle as a result of exercise due to genetic factors and other factors, will have overly muscular calves that greatly reduce the femininity of women. However, muscular calves are the hardest to lose weight. It is best to stop all exercises that train leg muscles, such as running, skipping rope, and mountain climbing. You need to soften the muscles first, then lose the fat that's trapped between them.

Massage to slim your legs

Option 1: Massage to relax your muscles

Take an appropriate amount of massage cream (or various lubricating lotions and body oils) and rub the calf area from bottom to top; rub up and down repeatedly.

1. Friction massage - After applying the lotion, use your fingers to press and rub the areas with more subcutaneous fat. Concentrated massage around the knees can make the front of the calf firm and smooth.

2. Grasping massage - use your fingertips to grab subcutaneous fat. Start from the center line of the inner and outer sides of the calf, use a force that is slightly painful, and continue rhythmically.

3. Rubbing massage - Grab the areas with more fat and rub vigorously with your thumbs. This is a massage method with better firming effects and is most suitable for areas with thick subcutaneous fat, such as the calves.

Option 2: Massage + stretching exercises

Every time after taking a shower, wipe off the water drops on your body in the bathroom, but don't wipe it too dry. Then, while your body is wet and there is steam in the bathroom, squeeze lotion or firming cream into the palm of your hand, rub your hands slightly, and then apply it to your legs. The technique should be like massaging, so that the bath lotion can be absorbed by the skin as quickly as possible. Massage with appropriate force.

Option 3: Pat to soften muscles

If you want to slim down your calves, you should first check whether your calf muscles are loose or tight. If your muscles are tight, it will be more difficult to lose weight. Therefore, the first plan to reduce calf size should start with patting the firm calf fat. On weekdays, you can sit on the ground, lift one leg up to a right angle, apply slimming products that promote microcirculation, tighten the skin and reduce fat, and pat your calves with your fists, or massage with your palms, each for 10 minutes (or 200 times each). Be sure to persist for a long time.

Do leg stretching exercises more often, the main purpose is to stretch the muscles. Therefore, you should do more exercises that have this function. It is also important to remind yourself that you should massage your legs after each exercise to prevent your legs from becoming muscular again.

Do stretching exercises in bed to lose weight

Place a pillow between your calves and sit on the edge of the bed with your thighs and calves at a 90-degree angle. Slowly lift your calves, hold this position for about three seconds, then lower them, and repeat the action ten to fifteen times.

Lie on the bed, stretch your legs, move one foot back and straighten the other foot. Do this exercise twenty to thirty times in turn until your calves feel tired.

Lie flat on the bed, support your waist with your hands, lift your legs up, and do a bicycle movement with your feet in the air. Do this for about 30 minutes and then you can rest!

Lie on your back, look straight at the ceiling, do not bend your knees, keep your legs together, bring them close to your chest, then lift them up and bring them close again. Repeat this movement 15 times. If you keep doing this, the fat on your legs will disappear without you noticing.

Hold the edge of the table with both hands to help balance your body, stand naturally with your legs side by side, lift your heels, hold for two or three seconds, and then put them down.
