First of all, for people who are obese all over, the fastest way to lose weight in the legs is to lose weight all over the body, so aerobic exercise is essential. The following exercises are very suitable:

1. Running

Some people think that their calves will become thicker after running, mainly because of the following reasons: some people feel tired and tight in their calves when running, and they think that their calves are "growing thicker", but in fact this is just an illusion; secondly, the method is wrong. High-intensity and intense anaerobic exercise may cause the calf muscles to grow, resulting in thicker legs, while aerobic exercise consumes sugar, fat, and amino acids in the body and will only reduce excess fat. The weight loss method to avoid thickening of calves is to adopt jogging as an aerobic exercise, which is characterized by low intensity, rhythm and long duration. When running, you should also pay attention to the time and speed. Generally, aerobic exercise takes at least 30 minutes and can last up to 1-2 hours. The speed should not be too fast, and the heart rate should be controlled within the aerobic exercise range, but it should not be too slow, otherwise it will not have the effect of exercise.

2. Swimming

When swimming, people usually use the buoyancy of water to lie prone or supine in the water, relax and stretch the whole body, so that the body can develop comprehensively, symmetrically and harmoniously, and the muscle lines can be smooth. Moving in water reduces the impact of the ground on bones during ground movement, reduces the chance of bone damage and makes bone joints less likely to deform. The resistance of water can increase the intensity of human exercise, but this intensity is different from equipment training on land. It is very gentle, and the intensity of training can be easily controlled within the aerobic range. It will not grow very stiff muscles, and can make the lines of the whole body smooth and beautiful. Therefore, it is particularly effective for the legs that need to keep moving in the water. Of course, everyone must do sufficient warm-up exercises before swimming.

3. Rope skipping

Jumping rope is a very effective aerobic exercise. In addition to the general benefits of filtration, it has many unique advantages. Jumping rope burns 400 calories every half hour. It is a bodybuilding sport, which is of great help to various organs such as the cardiopulmonary system, coordination, posture, weight loss, etc. It is a sport suitable for all ages. Jumping rope continuously for 10 minutes consumes about the same amount of calories as jogging for 30 minutes. It is an aerobic exercise that consumes little time and high energy. Long-term persistence can make your legs firmer.

4. Biking

Cycling is an aerobic exercise and is also good for slimming legs. Cycling can repair the leg curve and delay the formation of leg muscles. If you spend one hour every day, you can practice only on sections with many slopes. Increase the frequency of climbing hills, and after two months, your legs will become slimmer and longer. But remember that after exercise, you cannot sit for a certain period of time, try to stand. Just stand until you sweat enough.
