There are three kinds of thick legs: first, the reason for thick legs is "fat", which is characterized by soft and white meat and weak calves, especially on the back of thighs, and the skin looks baggy, just like orange peel tissue. Continue to develop, even the ass will appear to collapse. Secondly, the reason for the thick legs is "strong", which is characterized by the fact that the meat is actually quite strong and looks less white. Some people have muscles in their calves! The thighs are not so weak, but ... they are too thick to look good in skirts. Some people don't exercise often, but if they often go shopping and travel, their legs may be strong! Third, the reason for thick legs is "swelling". The legs that used to be very fit are swollen because of sedentary, especially for office workers who often eat out and work in air-conditioned rooms. They look neither fat nor strong, just a pair of big, thick legs.
Some people may just have thick legs or strong legs, while others may have thick legs and edema or strong legs and edema. Observe your situation carefully, pinch your legs and think about your living habits. According to different fat legs, there are actually different homework to do. Let's explain it below.
● Skills and tips of fat-legged people.
1. moderate exercise. There will be loose floating meat, mostly because they don't like sports, or people who used to exercise a lot but suddenly stopped their exercise habits, such as athletes or dancers who quit sports. Moderate exercise can tighten muscles and shape beautiful lines.
2. Eat less meat, starch and other staple foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Another feature of people with fat legs is that staple food is often eaten much more than side dishes. This is also the main reason for general obesity. People who don't like sports eat too much fat and carbohydrates, not only legs, but also meat in many places!
3. Promote blood circulation by alternating hot and cold bathing. This move can also eliminate swollen legs.
● Skills and tips of strong legs.
1. moderate exercise. You may ask, what's the difference between this and the first rule of acrobatics of fat-legged people? It's different. Moderate exercise is aimed at active children, because too much exercise is not necessarily good unless you deliberately build developed muscles. But I've also seen my friend break his ligament after playing basketball for a few days. Fortunately, he recovered later.
2. Relax for a while after exercise, and then gently massage your legs to relax your muscles, so as not to become hard radish legs. This experience comes from a good friend who has been studying ballet for many years. She broke my impression of ordinary dancers with flat breasts and thick legs. She has a beautiful figure. It is said that every time after dancing, the teacher asked them to massage each other's legs in pairs.
Don't always carry heavy things. That's simply doing weight-bearing exercises! It will make the leg muscles stand out! So please ask boys for help when moving things, and please pull a basket cart when buying food. Frequent lifting of heavy objects can also burden the back.
● Tips for training swollen legs
1. Eat more light food. Excessive salt is a burden to the kidneys, which will lead to water retention in the body. Eating alfalfa bud salad can help eliminate excess salt in the body. Of course, remember not to eat too much salad dressing or thousand island juice, or you will join the fat leg family.
2. Take a bath with salt. Bathing with bath salts is very popular now. If the bath salt you bought is delicate in texture, I suggest that you gently massage your body with it, which can remove old waste cutin and make your body lines look good and your skin smooth. It's killing two birds with one stone.
3. Go outdoors more to make yourself sweat. Everyone hates the sticky feeling when sweating, but in fact, moderate sweating is a healthy thing. Staying in an air-conditioned room every day, drinking only water and not sweating, not only will your legs swell easily, but your skin will also thicken.
Tips for stovepipe
In fact, if you want to thin your calves, you must first check whether the muscles of your calves are slack or tight. If the muscles are tight, it will be more difficult to lose weight. Therefore, the first leg reduction plan should start with relaxing the firm calf fat.
Method 1
On weekdays, you can sit on the ground, lift one foot at right angles, and beat your calf with your fist for 5 minutes on each side.
Method 2
When you have a holiday, you might as well put the bath salts on the market into the bathtub, let your calves soak for a while and relax your muscles. Pat the calf after bathing to speed up blood circulation.
Step 2: Strengthen the campaign of reducing fat and tightening.
When the calf begins to become soft (or naturally flabby), the next round of weight loss work is to strengthen the effect of reducing fat and tightening, and you can do some body-building exercises every day.
Exercise (1)
1. Place the front end of the foot on the raised platform and press the foot down as far as possible.
2. Then the calf stands on tiptoe to lift the whole person hard. Repeat this set of movements rhythmically, 20-30 times, try to stand up and press down as hard as possible, preferably a little sore. You can put one hand on the bracket to keep your balance.
Exercise (2)
1. Lie on the ground, straighten your feet up at 90 degrees to your body, cross the instep with a long towel, straighten your hands and stand on tiptoe.
2. Press the towel hard with both hands and press the soles of your feet at the same time to keep your hands and feet straight.
Repeat this action for 40 times, and you can tighten the calf and make the lines more slender.
Step 3: finally sprint stovepipe.
Of course, the final stage is to speed up the slimming effect. You might as well buy some stovepipe cream and stovepipe products to help your helper, which can moisturize your legs and make your legs glow!
Dietary method for eliminating edema
Besides massage, proper eating habits can also shape beautiful legs.
1. Vitamin E helps to eliminate edema.
Poor blood circulation can easily lead to edema of the feet. Foods containing vitamin E help to speed up blood circulation and prevent leg muscles from relaxing. Foods rich in vitamin E include almonds, peanuts and wheat germ.
2. Vitamin B accelerates metabolism. Vitamin B 1 can convert sugar into energy, while B2 can accelerate the metabolism of fat and eat more foods rich in vitamin B, such as mushrooms, sesame, tofu, peanuts and spinach.
3. Eat less salt to get rid of edema. Eating salty food often makes it easy to accumulate too much water in the body and form edema, which is easy to accumulate on the calf. In addition to reducing the absorption of salt, you can also eat more foods containing potassium, because potassium helps to excrete excess salt in the body. Potash-containing foods include tomatoes, bananas, potatoes and celery.
Lower leg:
1) Massage: 1 > As long as you take a little time before going to bed every night, sit in a chair and put your right foot on your left knee. Put your hands on your right ankle and press hard for 3 seconds. Then massage from ankle to calf in the same way, and then massage with left foot. (Massage and exercise to build beautiful calves) 2 > Softening fat: sitting posture, with one leg bent on the chest and the other sitting cross-legged. Try to relax and massage from ankle to knee with your palm.
Eliminate tension: Knead the calf with both hands at the same time and push it from bottom to top.
Elasticity: hit the bullet with the empty palm to eliminate fatigue and increase elasticity.
2) Stretch your legs: 1 > Face the chair (a table is enough, just find one that suits your height), and the distance is about 70cm. Put your hands on the edge of the chair and don't bend your elbows. At the same time, the knees should be straight, and then the heels should move up and down. You will feel the calf's flesh squeezing. This action is similar to "standing one meter away from the wall, keeping the plane of your feet from the ground and leaning your hands against the wall." At this time, you will feel the feeling that the calf muscles are stretched, and the heel must never leave the ground. " They're all pinching your calves. Choose what you like to do!
2 > Put your feet on the ground, put your hands on the ground in front of your feet (if you can't reach the ground, you can also put them on something stable in front), lift your left leg, and your body weight falls on your right foot to keep up (cock your toes), and feel the calf slap.
3 > Stand on the edge of stairs or other objects more than 20 cm high (stand firm! ), hold the wall and let the heel hang. Slowly stand on tiptoe, stop at the highest point, and then lower your heel at the same speed until the lowest point. You need to do it at least six times at a time, you can take a break before continuing, and you can increase the number of times according to your personal situation after you are proficient. (This is also famous: half steps and half radish is its formula) (About stairs: you can stovepipe when you stand on your toes, and you can skip PP when you go to two sets at a time)
4 > Stand with your feet together, put your hands on the ground in front of your feet, and lift the toes of your left foot and the tips of your right foot. Ok ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
3) Lie on your side and support your upper body with your elbows; Legs together, legs and toes taut. Lift your leg to the limit (remember to stretch your toes) and keep the other leg still; Restore, repeat 5 times. Lie on your side in another direction and repeat the action. Personally, I think it's just stretching, and I can lose my leg after a long time.
4) Exercise ankle joint to remove subcutaneous fat easily. Hold the ankle with one hand and the toe with the other hand to make it rotate. Turn right 10 times, turn left 10 times, alternately. If you do this exercise often, you will be very active and have a relaxed pleasure. When you exercise, you will feel your calves moving.
5) Hold the chair handle or table corner for ankle correction. It has a tightening effect on the more developed muscles on the calf. After the muscle is strong, it can prevent the formation of subcutaneous fat. Repeat 10-20 times. Remember to stretch the calf muscles after exercise.
6) Lift the heel with both feet together 10 times, toe together, heel separately 10 times (the action is the same as the internal splayed foot), lift the heel with one foot closed 10 times, and change the foot 10 times. According to Sherbin's tutorial, it is very thin, and stretching can't be ignored, otherwise it will grow into muscle blocks.
7) When standing, lift the toe with one leg 10 times and change the leg 10 times. Sit down with your legs flat and hook your toes 20 times. (Keep your feet on the ground and hook your toes hard)
8) bounce off: when walking, the toes touch the ground, and the heels touch the ground and immediately lift up for other toes to walk. (Exercise at any time, stretch at any time)
