But some people carry a hint of sadness, tightly pinching their calves as thick as their thighs.
The calves are one of the hardest parts of the body to slim down. Many people lament about this, simply because they haven’t found the right solution.
Think chunky calves look unattractive? Then let’s learn about the complete guide to slimming calves, these 5 exercises are the most effective for slimming legs.
Place a piece of paper between your knees, this method will be very suitable for students who often sit in classrooms or white-collar workers who sit in offices. The thickness of your legs actually has a lot to do with your sitting posture, so we need to maintain good posture. First of all, keep your upper body upright, don’t lean on the chair back, don’t sit crookedly, as it’s not good for your spine and can lead to a hunched back.
You’ll need a yoga mat and a foam roller, slowly roll until you reach a sore spot, pause for a few seconds. This movement can fully massage the calf muscles, relieving tension. After running or wearing high heels for a day, a quick roll will prevent leg pain, you’ll be able to climb five flights of stairs without getting tired!
Avoid using your calves for extra power during training or pushing your calves to the limit. Intensely training muscle-type calves won’t make your legs slimmer, it might even bulk them up more.
Stand about a step’s distance away from a wall, place the right foot’s sole against the wall, lean the body closer to the wall to feel a gentle stretch at the back of the calf, hold for 20-30 seconds, switch sides, repeat the process.
Close your fingers in a hollow shape, starting from the ankles, rhythmically pat and massage upwards with both hands. After the right leg, do the same with the left leg. By tapping and massaging along the lymph nodes of the legs, you can improve lymph node and blood circulation in the legs. Moderate massage can eliminate the heaviness and swelling in the legs.
Sit on the floor with legs crossed and overlapped, hands placed in front, slowly bend the body forward, with the neck and head looking down, maintain for 15 to 30 seconds, switch legs and repeat the process.
Note: Some people may find it difficult on one side, this is a normal phenomenon caused by a lack of exercise and flexibility. Try to press down without causing pain.
