Can running help you lose weight on your legs? Is running effective in losing weight on your legs?

Every girl wants to have perfect long legs. Recently, my friends have been posting about slimming legs through running. Is this true? Let's read the article and find out.

Yes, the most important skill of running is to land on the forefoot, which makes running easy and effortless. After the forefoot lands, push back, fold, push the hips, and swing the legs. Move the center of gravity forward, dig the ground and land again, and repeat. But it is not suitable for people with thick calves. The correct way to avoid thickening calves is to land on the heel, and then jog with the whole sole of the foot touching the ground. Because the braking occurs when the heel lands, the running speed is reduced, and the effort naturally consumes fat. In addition, the time is best to be more than half an hour a day, and choose to run slowly for a long time. This will deplete a lot of body fat. Moreover, jogging is not particularly intense, and will not cause excessive hypoxia of the body, which helps to consume fat, thereby achieving the purpose of thin legs. I believe that warm-up exercises before exercise are a principle that does not need to be popularized, especially before running, leg stretching is particularly important.

Running is effective in slimming down your legs, but you should pay attention to some things while running.

1. Many people blindly choose incorrect running postures in order to slim down their legs, but their legs become thicker and thicker. We should run correctly. We should not run fast. Running fast will not slim down your legs, but will grow muscles on your legs.

2. When running, we should choose to jog and try to jog at a constant speed. You can see obvious results after jogging for about a month.

3. If jogging doesn’t help us lose weight in the legs, we need to check whether our running posture is correct, which may cause swelling. Also, we should avoid drinking carbonated drinks after running, otherwise the run will be in vain.

4. Before running, be sure to warm up to prevent injury. Warming up can keep the body in the best condition, which is more conducive to burning fat and achieving the best running effect.

5. When running, land lightly and try not to use your calves to exert force. Try to use your hips to exert force to avoid injury from excessive calf force.

6. Running must be aerobic exercise. The best time for running is more than 30 minutes. Don’t think that strenuous exercise will make you thinner and reduce the pressure on your knees.

7. After running, you must massage and relax your muscles. Otherwise, your legs will become muscular. Don't forget to stretch. Don't skip stretching when you feel pain. Stretching can make your muscle lines look better.

1. Do strength training first, then aerobic exercise

Strength training first can consume most of the glycogen reserves. When you start aerobic exercise, fat can be mobilized quickly, and the efficiency of burning fat is improved. Strength training can promote the secretion of catecholamine hormones such as adrenal hormone and norepinephrine and lipolytic hormones such as growth hormone in the body, which is conducive to fat mobilization and decomposition.

2. Warming up before running is important

Especially before running, the legs must be stretched. When the body is fully warmed up and stretched properly, the calves can keep up with the body's movements in the best condition, so as to avoid the problem of thickening of the calves after running.

3. Correct running posture is important

The correct running posture can not only effectively avoid running injuries, but also make the force on various parts of your body, the movement trajectory, and the energy consumption more reasonable, allowing runners to better shape their bodies while losing fat.

1. Correct running posture:

The body should be straight and slightly leaning forward; the head should be upright and the eyes should be fixed on the ground about 10 meters ahead; the hands should be clenched loosely, the shoulders and arms should be relaxed, the elbows should be bent at an angle less than 90 degrees, and the arms should swing back and forth; the knees should be extended forward in front of the heels; the forefoot should land on the ground.

2. Land on your heels

In fact, many girls are used to landing on the forefoot when running, which makes running easy and effortless; but this is not suitable for girls with thick calves. If you belong to this type of girl, the correct way to run is to land on the heel first, and then land on the whole sole of the foot. This will not only prevent your calves from becoming thicker, but also make them very slender and stylish!

The best way to lose weight while running

In fact, people who want to lose weight can choose to run in the morning and evening to lose weight. Because running in the morning, first, the air is fresh, which helps to improve metabolism early in the morning. And if you run in the evening, the temperature is more moderate, and running does not produce a sense of heat, which is very helpful for controlling dinner. And running in the morning can wake up the body, provided that people with hypoglycemia should pay attention to the intensity of exercise to prevent hypoglycemia. The best time to run in the evening is two hours after a meal, approximately between 5 and 7 pm. Because compared to running in the morning, running in the evening also has incomparable benefits. For example: for people with fragile cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, running early in the morning is actually very dangerous, but if you run in the evening, because you have already eaten dinner, exercise will be relatively safe.
