Losing weight and legs has always been one of the most concerned issues of female friends. In order to achieve this goal, most people will think of running, because running can consume a large number of calories. It is the most convenient exercise with the lowest threshold and excellent effect! However, as the sport with the largest number of participants in the world, while full of praise, it will also be questioned by many voices: running thick legs! So is running thick legs or thin legs? Let’s get to know each other.
Running: thick legs or thin legs
If we want to lose weight, we need to create a certain caloric difference, that is, the intake of calories should be less than the consumption, so that the overall body heat is in a negative balance. At this time, our body will use the fat cells that store energy to help make up for this heat difference, and the fat cells will become smaller (both in mass and volume) after contributing the stored energy. Reflected in the body, the weight and appearance will change accordingly.
Although running is mainly for thin legs, the fat distribution and sensitivity determine the speed at which everyone is thin. But as long as you insist, it is only a matter of time.
Running can consume about 300 kilocalories every half hour. If there are smart devices, it can be more accurate. Combining the calories of food, you can roughly calculate your daily calorie difference. It is relatively healthy to keep a gap of about 300-500kcal every day.
Therefore, whether running is lean or not depends on whether we have a gap in long-term calorie intake. If so, the legs will be thin. If you think you can eat more because running burns calories and you have a long-term excess of calories, your legs will get thicker.
The reason of running thick legs
Muscle congestion is actually the most common reason for thick legs, because most women rarely train. They feel that after running, the muscles will expand, and the legs look thicker than before. This is long muscle! It’s thicker than before.
Do not stretch after exercise. After exercise, the feeling of congestion disappears. The muscles become tense and stiff due to long-term exercise, and lose some flexibility. If you don’t relax for a long time, the muscle fibers will stick together, causing the muscle to look thicker and very stiff. In addition, if you do not stretch in the correct posture, your muscles will not relax well, which is one of the important reasons for “running thick legs”.
