How to train calf muscles

Many people have too many muscles in their calves, which affects their overall image. They don’t even dare to wear skirts or shorts in the summer for fear that they will look ugly if exposed. It is really distressing to encounter such a problem. In fact, as long as the fat on the calf can be eliminated, it will be fine. At this time, small muscles should be trained through exercise. So how to train the calf muscles?

1. Karate Stance

Exercise parts: upper arm muscles, shoulders, inner thigh muscles, buttocks muscles

Spread your legs shoulder-width apart, with your feet pointed 45 degrees outward, and then half squat. Bend your hands and place them in front of your chest. This movement is very effective in tightening the inner thigh muscles and buttocks muscles. Each movement should last for 20 seconds and repeated 5-10 times.

2. Heel contact squat

Exercise area: Leg muscles

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Then slowly squat down, holding a dumbbell in each hand. While maintaining your body balance, use the hands holding the dumbbells to touch your heels. This movement is very effective for exercising leg muscles. Girls who want to have perfect leg lines can try it.

3. Single-arm support

Exercise parts: shoulders, leg muscles, posterior hip muscles

Lie on your side on a gymnastics mat and use the arm closest to the ground to support your body. Similarly, bend the leg closest to the ground backward and keep the other leg at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Then, slowly raise your other arm from your side, keeping your eyes on the fingertips of this hand. Because this movement is quite difficult, just hold it for about 20 seconds, then switch to the other side and do it again, for a total of 2 repetitions.

4. Abdominal muscle tightening ball exercise

Exercise parts: abdominal muscles, thigh muscles, arm muscles

Sit on the ground, use your hips to support your whole body, and gradually lift your feet about 10-15 cm off the ground. Hold the gymnastic ball tightly with both hands and do sideways movements to the left or right. This exercise really tests one's body balance. If you can't hold on for too long at the beginning, you can bring your feet a little closer to the ground, but remember not to put your feet on the ground, otherwise it will not have any beauty effect.

The above article gives a clear introduction on how to train the calf muscles, and I believe everyone is clear about it. In order to get in better shape, you still need to work hard. Compared with other parts of the body, the calf muscles are relatively difficult to train. As long as you find the correct method, stick to it every day, and pay attention to diet conditioning, the effect will be better.
